Just as in the previous game, this one allows you to run and gun and while you are not nearly as invulnerable as you would be in a traditional FPS, you can easily get out of sticky situations by sheer brute force. If Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 was just a sniping simulator, it would not provide the variety that gamers crave. However, the game provides you with opportunities to snipe from ever increasing distances, including distances exceeding a kilometre as well as using your sniping skills to kill targets by dropping hanging objects on them or blowing up conveniently combustible items. From a variety standpoint you don’t get to wear disguises or create elaborate plans to poison or drown your target in a toilet. While the Hitman series has delivered large sandboxes to play in with multiple routes and methods of dispatch, this game has put those levels to shame just in terms of sheer size. While the game may seem small, just five missions in all, each mission takes place on an enormous map, with multiple routes to sniper perches that will get you closer and closer to your target. If you ask me, they are ripping you off by making you buy your own equipment. However, they too are working on a budget as for every upgrade you unlock, you must earn money and buy these upgrades. The organization you work for is kind enough to provide you with a high-tech mask that assists in identifying and tracking bad guys as well in targeting them. ![]() The writers of the Sniper Ghost Warrior Contract 2, unlike their PR company, have taken a less stereotypical Hollywood approach to the game as the story openly admits that Raven’s real mission is too maintain the status quo of protecting Western economic interest via the supply of oil and maintaining a reasonable price rather than a desire to prevent a war on humanitarian grounds. Her thirst for blood threatens to plunge the region and probably the world into chaos and war. ![]() Hired by a mysterious organization, Raven is tasked with assassinating a series of targets in each mission - each deserving of death - as they serve a middle eastern dictator hell bent on revenge for the assassination of her husband. Like the first game, you play a nameless and faceless sniper codenamed Raven. Contracts is more of a sandbox (pun intended) than the mainline series that does service to the story and has more in common with Hitman than the mainline game. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a solid sequel to a solid first entry in the spin-off to the Sniper Ghost Warrior series a series that hasn’t been seen since the poor reception of the third game.
