Sniper: Ghost Warrior is a high-definition first-person shooter, with a modern military theme and realistic presentation. The game focuses exclusively on the role of a long-range sniper, in various battle situations. A sophisticated physics model accounts for ballistic factors such as falloff over long distances and the effects of wind speed and direction. Players also manage their shooter's positioning and breathing, to squeeze off the perfect shot at the right time. An up-close "bullet cam" allows gamers to follow their shot to its target.
