Summary: Pull this...out of circulation
Review: Considering the recent events in MD/DC/VA, this title hits a little too close to home. I'm a gamer and usually defend gaming when blamed in the media. In this case, it just seems wrong to glorify nearly the exact types of killing that is happening in real life. I saw this game first at the Xicat website with the heading 'Where games meet reality' WTF??? I know the game came out first but since it seems to [stinks] anyway (based on other reviews) [web company] should just yank it from stock. Also, Xicat should change their website and apologize for creating such [un-cool product].

Summary: Avoid like the plague!!!
Review: From their press release, "Xicat predicts that "Sniper: Path of Vengeance" will become the new benchmark in first-person action games." If this is the new benchmark, then Xicat must be predicting that goal posts will be the rage at limbo parties. Sorry folks, but this game is just plain awful. It has more bugs than the Amazon basin. Here is the list I found in the first and only 40 minutes of playing(or waiting on?)it.When first started up, the monitor will click back and forth. Is this game crashing? Nope, there it goes. Oops, back to the desktop. No wait, it's starting now. Oh, back to the desktop. Get the point? When the game finally starts, there is no reverse mouse button in the menus. Is this a beta release? Hmmm...it doesn't say so on the box. In all fairness, there is a patch to correct this. Wonder why it wasn't done in the first place? I started the game to find my "contact". Where could he be? In this building? Oh, you can't go into any buildings. In the water? Oh, you can't go into the water. Hmmm...I thought this was the LITHTECH engine? I get my assignment and move on. Let me do a save here. That seemed to work ok. I get killed to test the quick load function. I hit F9 as instructed and the level starts over at the beginning. I load it from my saved games and it takes two minutes to come up. The stupid music is playing again even though I turned it off already. I get killed again and load my game from the save menu. Now I have no sound. And the stupid music is still turned on. At least I can't hear it. I finish the first level by going back to my car. Do I get the next level? No. I get the desktop since the game crashed. Oh well...I did have high hopes for this game. I love camping in Half-Life an Unreal and was looking forward to a game that focused on sniping. I guess I will have to wait some more.

Summary: Not Ready For Primetime
Review: Game as released was quirky--and then I noticed that there was a 40mb patch that you had to go to GameSpy Fileplanet to download where you had to wait over an hour just for your turn at the download area to be able to download that monster patch--that is unless you want to subscribe to Fileplanet for $6.95 per month to be able to access a high speed download area (hmmm, that seems curious)So after spending four hours getting the patch.... The graphics are fair, but certainly not the best that's out there. Don't buy this one for children. The language used in the game has been written specifically for adults and lends nothing to the storyline. It seems that XICAT rushed to get this one out by Christmas 2002, because this didn't look like what was orginally promised. If I had to do it again, I would pass on this one.

Summary: Sorry, I couldn't give it 0 stars
Review: Graphics: Are something to be desired. Think glitchy blocks for player models who can't move their mouth when they talk. Look at Unreal Tournament made YEARS before this sniper game yet graphics are superior. Sound: Nothing special. Gameplay: This is one of those horrible 'set' games. By that, I mean there is no variation in the storyline. No matter what you say in reply to people in this game, they always give the same answer, adding no variation to the storyline. Ending is pretty bad too. Worth It?: No. If you could download it from the Internet, might not be so bad, but if you are intending to spend any amount of money on this game, you are crazy. I was lucky, because I bought it for $$$ and sold it for $$$.

Summary: Sniper Path of Vengeance
Review: I agree with the other reviews, except the five star person (He/She must work for XICAT)I completed the game in about 4-5 hrs. I tried to work through the bugs for 5-6 hrs. There are so many bugs in this game the terminex man would be scared.

Summary: Should be a discount bin game
Review: I had a bad feeling about this game when I picked up the box but I ignored my gut feeling. Just goes to show you that you shouldn't doubt yourself. This game has good graphics, but the level design and overall flow of the game is very amateurish at best. When you get to the end of a level the screen freezes, turns purple then you get a loading screen. Needless to say its a very abrupt transition. Wait for this game to get to the bargan bin before shelling out the money for it.

Summary: Unremittingly terrible
Review: I made the mistake of getting this for Christmas. You don't need to make the same error. This game takes five hours to beat, is senseless, and has a ridiculous amount of bugs. Don't support games of this poor calibre, even if you see them in bargain bins. It's becoming a bit of a yearly habit with me it seems (last year I bought the execrable "Dusk Till Dawn") I play a lot of games, but nowadays, with so many quality games worth playing about, there's simply no reason to endure these lemons.

Summary: A real good fps shooter
Review: This game is one of the better fps on the market, I should know I have played most of them all, its fast and furious, the graphics are amazing, some of the best textures I have seen in a game. The game is good campy fun and the missions are varied and will keep you guessing. The story is interesting and has alot of twists. This will definetly be in my top 10 games of the year. If you like fps than this is a rollercoaster of a ride.
