GR-UK writes: "The opening mission in the Philippines plays out quite well. The mechanics are introduced through some interesting gameplay, and clearing areas is initially quite enjoyable despite a lack of freedom in how to approach objectives. Patience is rewarded, while diving headlong into battle is likely to result in being riddled with bullets by the merciless AI, making stealth a necessity. The locations, while linear and buggy, provide plenty of opportunity for sneaking around to find the perfect sniper point. Unfortunately nothing ever really evolves from the promising intro and Sniper 2 rapidly descends downhill. Throughout the game Anderson is constantly taking orders. He's told when to move and when to stop, when and where to shoot, what equipment to use and when to use it. The result is a game that removes choice from the player. Sniper 2 should encourage smart strategic and tactical thinking, but instead leads the player through a linear campaign firmly by the hand."
