    The demo was pretty bad and there was very little sniper action.

    Not a good sign in a game with sniper in the title

    I got this lots of action in it its not just all single shots. Very difficult to sneak around without getting caught some glitches like when you lie down you go into the rocks but this happens in lots of games and isnt a major issue.

    Graphics are really good.

    Enjoying it but a real sniper game dont be expecting MW2.

    Its out already came out last Friday. 39.99 in HMV. Fairly cheap.

    It mixes it up a bit as well in a few missions you play different characters for a bit you snipe then it changes to a full on assault then it swaps back to the sniping the cover the guys who are assaulting an oil rig for example.

    Just breaks up the tense sniping missions enough.

    Lots of problems with the game and bugs but im really enjoying it despite this.

    Terrible game this, broken in many many ways. The Eurogamer review sums it up rather nicely.... 2 out of 10 they gave it. I played it for 20 minutes before i got really annoyed and gave up.

    S.H.I.T.E

    I think it's only €34.99 new in Gamestop, which should also set the alarm bells ringing.

    It's made by City Interactive who make cheap budget games on licensed engines, so whilst they always look pretty good, they play pretty poorly. Crap scripting, characters, voice acting, direction, plot, gameplay, mechanics. Don't think they've released a console game until now but they've released rakes of PC titles, several of which are sniper games, and none of which are particularly good.

    Yea but that idiot claimed things like the enemy didnt show up on his map as a bad point!! Why would you even want that? the whole point of the game is for you to find the enemy not to have it all dished up to you.

    He also mentioned that the enemy could see you ! as a bad point. then he mentioned that the game turns into a normal shooter and you get stuck with the wrong kind of gun. This just shows he is playing it wrong ive played a few hours now and its only when you mess up do you get into this situation. which is the situation a normal sniper would find him self in if he is found out.

    the game has many faults? No it has only a hand full the main one is you get stuck in the ground quite a lot when crouched and since its a sniping game you are crouched fairly often. But to give it 2 is just retarded its a 6 or 7.

    Its funny you would play a sniping game for only 20mins i spent 20 mins just scoping out the first mission.

    Well, he also said the frame rate is muck (it is) amongst other criticisms.

    The AI is as thick as a post. You can't walk over rocks that are a foot high, you get spotted even though you're flat on the floor and 100 yards away wearing full camoflage. It's retarded.

    20 minutes was enough to see how crappy it was. Are you saying i should have played it for 12 hours to make a decision?

    Its camouflage not an invisibility cloak.

    Im just playing the night missions now they are very good.

    Thats up to you really i find it difficult and challenging and im enjoying it. The early missions have some glitches if you go off the beaten path. Other dont like it but its one of those kind of games if played right it works if played like a FPS like the guy from Euro gamer did then it wont be any good as you are a sniper trying to attack people ALA MW2 style.
