Sniper Vs Sniper: Online [App Store]
Korean Dev team Com2Us bring to us another multiplayer hit with Sniper Vs Sniper: Online. Following from the success of Homerun Battle 3D, this is their latest offering that takes a different but familiar approach. Let’s cut the b#llsh@t and get on with the action!
Sniper Vs Sniper: Online pits you as a lone gunman, having to take out your targets before they take you out. Scout out enemies with your binoculars, then switching to a sniper rifle, aiming with the accelerometer. Bear in mind, the binoculars give you a wider view than the weapon of choice. Though short, the 6 campaign missions are very enjoyable. Putting you deep in the action, you need to scan different buildings, taking out as many primary targets as possible before you get some hot lead love yourself. I guess in a way, this game is basically hide and seek… just with more killing than your average game.
Its coup de grâce is the online modes. Player on player, co-op levels and the ability to taunt your adversaries make this an incredibly enjoyable romp. Random positioning and buildings keep your opponents guessing. Like most shooters, accurate head-shots and split-second timing is the key to success.
Online global leader-boards rank the best gunny sergeants and you have your list of friends that you can challenge, or humiliate, whichever your desire.
Graphically on par with the their previous titles, Com2Us once again delivers a fantastic, different and innovative experience. Its online component shines through and they have hit the bullseye square on with this great game.
P.S. Watch Shooter, then play the game. I did for… ahem… research purposes.
Mmmm Mark Wahlberg. 4.5 stars.
kunzie says: This game makes your heart skip every round. Whenever you take that little bit longer in hunting down your adversary, you know that he’s already found you. Getting shot in the head makes you jump, just like in a Team Fortress 2 sniper match. Great game!
