From the Manufacturer You are a Marine Sharpshooter, member of the elite Counter Terror Unit, a covert American military force waging a silent war against terror across the globe. Dropped behind enemy lines, you have uncovered a terrorist plan to construct a nuclear weapon and detonate it on American soil. You must follow the plot from the desserts of Afghanistan through the Russian winter and into the jungles of a small south Pacific island. Armed with an arsenal of authentic sniper weaponry, your only assistance is provided by your observer, your eyes, ears and close quarters machine gun. Make every shot count; your country is depending on it.

There are better games out there
While I was not expecting realism, I was also not expecting this poor excuse for a game. How the Marine Corps allowed their name to be put on this game is beyond me. Where to begin? 1) Your "spotter" in real life would have never graduated boot camp. This guy has no real skills whatsoever and he LOVES to die (which incidentally means that you die, too, ending the mission). He's also no help other than dialogue to keep the storyline together. 2) Your main bolt action rifle is SLOW. It's painful waiting for your follow-up shot while the terrorist does his gymnastics in front of you (no kidding, they roll around on the ground while you take your time ejecting and advancing the next round). 3) I understand that a game programmer has a deadline to meet, but it is really annoying every time you veer slightly off the beaten path, a warning comes up that your mission will end if you take another step. So you're essentially canalized into a very small path in every mission so the terrorists can take cheap shots on you. Setting criticism aside and looking at the positive aspects of this game, it is fun on a certain level. Many of the firefights will get your blood going. Controls are simple enough (and customizable) to pop the CD in and start playing right away. Other reviews have criticized the graphics, but they're not that bad. Yes, there are better games out there, but it's a simple game with a simple mission and simple AI. Find a friend that owns it and try it out before buying it. You may like it. I prefer some other games over this one (see my review of "Line of Sight: Vietnam).

You get what you pay for
Like the other review states it's a BUDGET title. For the price it's not bad, just don't expect it to be on the level with a title like Medal of Honor. The graphics are so so, but the controls are one of the best features of the game. The story line could have been stronger. But if you like playing as a sniper this game lets you do just that.

Low Budget
This ia a low budget first person shooter. The game forces you to travel in one direction and if you try and explore outside the mission area the game kills you. You have a spotter who travels with you and if your spotter dies, you die. The game is pretty simple and ends quite suddenly and has very little replay value. I guess this game is ok if you're looking for a cheap time killer, but it ain't good for much else.
