Sniper: Ghost Warrior - hits and misses

Sniper: Ghost Warrior tries too hard in some areas and lacks common sense in others. First off, the "experienced sniper" who conducts the game's tutorial disappoints. The best snipers control their breathing and can adjust for angle, air and distance. All these are factors in Ghost Warrior, but the controls are so shaky you get nauseous from the bouncing scope or frustrated by the inconsistent delay from shots fired.
