Graphics:

The graphics development and design used in Ghost Warrior is impressive. Players will be blown away by the numerous and noticeably flawless environments including jungle villages, abandoned construction sites, refineries, temples and even government buildings. The jungle island of Isla Trueno is filled with hostile life as rebels and unelected militants fight for supremacy. The sound effects also help to solidify the story by allowing players to hear the desperate cries of nearby villagers and angered rebels. The images players will witness through their rifle sights are shocking and help to give the game a current warfare feel. Due to the realistic and accurate graphics players are sure to experience the intense demand and anxiety of sniper combat as their crosshairs reveal a terrorizing soldier, holding villagers at gunpoint. In this game every shot has to matter; every shot has to be perfect.

Gameplay:

One of the most noticeable differences between Sniper Ghost Warrior and other first person shooters is its unpredictable nature. In most games which involve sniping missions, it is common to reach an environment and realize that it is designed and developed to present a sniping challenge, this game is different. With some of the levels being based on a more traditional combat scenarios or strategic booby-trapping, players will never really know what is coming next. There is a series of 16 stages, starting with the failed assignation in the refinery and ending with a final showdown in a set of ancient jungle ruins. Ghost Warrior is also designed to allow for open gameplay, leaving it up to the player to choose, time and target their shots as they see fit. Unlike other sniper-based releases Ghost Warrior requires as much strategy as it does patience. For example, in most of the targeting challenges once the targeted adversary is eliminated surrounding enemies will notice and react by spotting the player and revealing their position. This is quite unique when compared to other sniping games where the reaction of rivals is less than realistic. Players will also have to complete their missions without any type of replenishing health. If more health is needed their character must leave his position and head into the hills to find sporadically placed “health kits”. However, there is always the chance that the trip will result in challenging combat and an overwhelming number of enemy soldiers not to mention the compromise of their chosen sniping location. Each sniping level is designed to have multiple sequences allowing for players to determine their own approach to each mission and by doing so change the outcome of the game. Sniper Ghost Warrior can also be played as a multi-player coop with up to 16 players contributing simultaneously as snipers and spotters.
