Sniper Ghost Warrior breaks cover

City Interactive, a Warsaw-based publisher of video game titles, has announced its first ever title for Xbox 360 and PC. Imaginatively titled Sniper Ghost Warrior, the game offers an incredible insight into the deadly world of the military marksman.

Sniper Ghost Warrior is set on the fictional South American island of Isla Trueno, where a tough military regime lead by the ruthless General Vasquez has overthrown its democratic government to seize control. As one of a group of covert commandos, you are charged with infiltrating the rebel stronghold and overthrowing the unelected powerbase. Intelligence reports indicate that Vasquez is due to hold a meeting with his associates in an old refinery facility, and a government commando is in place to set up an assassination opportunity for the crack unit. But as the unit arrive on the island, it soon becomes clear that the plan has gone sour, and the team must adapt and use their combat skills if they are to complete the mission.

The mission spans across 16 stages, starting with the problematic assassination attempt at the refinery, moving on to oilrigs, a mine, the coast, and a set of ruins as the game’s plot continually surprises. Each level is brought to vivid life with the many rustles of the jungle keeping the player in a constant state of alert, and the sniper elements mixed with incredible firefights, as the enemy break cover and the squad is forced to engage in open combat.

Sniper Ghost Warrior represents a clever take on the military simulation genre, and also allows users to hone their sniper skills in a series of unique multi-player modes, wherein up to 16 players can compete simultaneously. Sniper Ghost Warrior will be released for Xbox 360 and PC in June, 2010
