Despite being released weeks ago, and being absolutely crap into the bargain,Sniper: Ghost Warriorhas finally received a patch that gives it a boatload of needed tweaks.
We were going to wait for the patch to review it because the game was unplayable in its release condition. However, it’s taken so frigging long for the patch to come out, I think they can shove their review up their arse.
The patch has ten fixes, including tweaks to the enemy AI, an improvement on the entire stealth system, several multiplayer enhancements, and weapon damage alterations. If ever there was an admittance that City Interactive shipped a broken game, this patch is it.
I’ll certainly try out the patch and see what’s what, but I think this game needs more than some tweaking to be even vaguely bearable. Shame, because it had so much potential. Well … it had abitof potential.
