The verdict
A short, linear, budget Call of Duty-style sniper shooter with satisfying ballistics and bullet cam, but scripted and buggy. Skip it if you want freedom or stability.
Great for
Nostalgic players and sniper fans wanting a cheap, short, cinematic stealth campaign
Main risk
Crashes, audio loss and invisible-enemy bugs in a very linear, hand-holding campaign
