The Guildmasters

Not my usual review of a game but this is a completely different experience. Sure, I don’t usually like shooters, unless it’s got something unique and this game is pretty unique.

If you ever wanted to play as a sniper this is your chance. There is no running in with guns blazing, it’s a purely sniper type game, and it’s pretty realistic too. I love it.

You have several different types of sniper rifle, a pistol, and a knife. You can throw the knife if your close enough for a silent kill.

The story line is good and it makes sense, your basically after a target, a high profile target. After your first failed attempt you have to complete several Acts trying to locate him and get the job done properly this time.

Easy mode is a good mode to start with so you can get used to being stealthy, crawling through the grass, hiding, scanning the area and working out the best time to take the shot.

Hard mode is exactly what it says on the can, it’s really hard, you can get killed with one shot and you really do have to be well hidden, and extra stealthy. This game is for patient players who don’t mind sneaking around and taking skillfully planned shots, one at a time.

Multiplayer online is very good, plenty of maps, a good selection of game types including team deathmatch, capture the flag, and deathmatch.

If your going for platinum in this game believe me when I say it’s going to take some time, kill 250 players with the pistol and 2,000 players with the sniper rifle so expect a long game if your going for platinum.

I hate war games and shoot em ups but like I said previously, this one is totally different, a true game for snipers, and I don’t mean lots of gunning and running, there is none of that, it’s totally sniping which makes for a refreshing change.
