55/100 on Metacritic isn't that good. If it was cheaper I'd think about it but $15 for such a low rated game isn't good IMO.

I'm pretty sure it has been cheaper somewhat recently

This is cheapest I've ever seen it. But yeah, the low score and reviews from other players doesn't make it seem worth it, unfortunately. I enjoyed the sniper missions in the CoD games so I was hoping this was kind of like that, but oh well.

Chime in guys...

For those of you who have played this game... Is this game halfway fun? Is it worth 15?

 

[KaOTiK]

From player reviews I read, they all seem to enjoy it. Personally I'm not buying anything that isn't at least 75% off right now till the holiday sale.

Based on a general opinion about a 55 rated game, or have you played it, etc.? More info is helpful.

Appearantly patch #2 fixed a lot of issues. Release notes report, 95% of AI scripts for stealth removed and stealth completely redone.

The patched review makes it look more promising, not sure I'm going to try it though.

The acutal sniping is great and it looks really good too graphics-wise, but when it suddenly changes and tries to be like Modern Warfare 2 it fails badly. If it had just stuck to the sniping (as you would expect from the outside) I think it would have scored much higher. First few levels have some very good parts.

I love the sniping gameplay, but not the violence. Hey, it's my opinion probably alone here, that's ok. If I thought it'd be a 'penultimate sniping experience' (more fun than violence), the way being a Rogue in EQ and stealthing and shadowstepping behind someone who is hiding from rogues and stunlock killing them is for an assassin, or the way the Thief series tried to be for stealth, it'd be fun to get. Just not sure if it's that, with all the sniping games - one review said, 'try them instead of this one' pre-patch.

I tried the demo a while back and had no interest in buying the game after that. maybe one day when its 5 bucks or cheaper I will give it a go. Steam has way too many other good games that go on sale for 15 bucks or less so I have raised my standards.

no not worth it.
try the demo. it is quite bad.

 

[BlueWeasel]

I'm torn whether to get this game or skip it. Is it still really bad even after the the latest patches?

skip it for now if you aren't sure. it will be even cheaper before long. xmas sale will be starting soon too so save your money for that.

I own it, but I only played it for 30 minutes or an hour. The stealth turned me off for some reason. It just failed really hard at capturing my attention.

i liked it..

Sniper 2 is going to be using CryEngine3, same engine as Crysis 2.
