Just not worth anyone's time playing
Honestly, I don't know what to say about this game. In fact, I don't even know why I am writing this review because the game simply fails at so many level that it is just not worth anyone's time playing.
OK. The game starts off with a tutorial guiding you through all those controls and things, and I think that's good. The graphics are quite impressive, too. The beginning of the first mission, however, is when the headache kicks in. There is little radio things telling you there is some sort of "menace", or what I understand as the assassin, hiding somewhere in a block of 5 buildings, and there is your sniper positioned in location 1, desperately scanning for his target through a sniper scope. Now here comes a problem - why can't the sniper get the full view of those five buildings? The idea of always looking through a tiny circle is just summarily annoying. There were forty or so windows to cover at location 1, and by the time I checked through all of them, half of the given time was already gone, and as I was wondering why there was nothing other than glass and concrete, the politician guy was shot dead. The same process repeated six times or so until I got so frustrated that I simply placed a shot in the politician guy and click the exit button at the corner. And what's with that "W and S" thing? I thought I was playing a sniper, not a cameraman! If there are only two modes - zoom-in and zoom-out - then why not just make the scope controllable with just one single key? And no, until someone can come up with some solid, empirical proof that the assassins do in fact exist, I will not try the game again or recommend it to anyone other than those I hate the most.
If you, the author, are seeking to improve this game (although I doubt you are), here are the things that you should be working on:
1) Make the radio thing more descriptive. Don't just tell people there is some kind of obscure threats hiding somewhere in a block of buildings. Tell them what they look like and also how they may find them. Otherwise, get rid of of that "circle-in-the-dark" thing for the zoom-out mode because it just makes the search for assassins impossibly hard.
2) Combine the W and S keys to just one. The more keys you have the more complicated the control gets, and since you have only two zoom modes there just isn't enough of a reason to have two keys to handle them both.
3) Forget about moving positions. The idea of having snipers running around in such a scenario makes no sense at all. Of course, it's just a game, but unless you are playing Spiderman, there is just no justifiable reason for you to go from rooftop to rooftop simply to make the VIP more vulnerable to assassination during the process, don't you think?
amazing!
that game was fucking gnar but hard at hte same time.gave my brain a whorl looking for them guys it was still a great game over all and hoping theres more like it in the works :-D anyone beat it ?pm me and let me know what its like
