Modern Sniper is a strategic stick man game that relies on wit, intelligence and realism. You pick up a sniper rifle and go through a set of missions, each having a different designated target and various secondary objectives. You must be careful though – one mistake and you put your life in jeopardy, failing the mission and therefore – the game.
Modern Sniper is part of the stick men games genre, in the ever so popular sniper department. Unlike many other games on the market, this game relies on realism above all. You use the mouse to move your scope and locate your targets, based on the briefing you have received. The briefings themselves are intelligent and well-planned and would take the mindset of a real sniper agent to solve and implement. The levels never get repetitive and each new mission awards you with a new challenge. The missions are numerous and you might end up spending hours replaying Modern Sniper. As far as stick men games go, this one is pretty strong in the graphics department. Stick men, despite looking alike, are very well animated. This is hard to see in many stick men games and it’s nice that Modern Sniper takes care of this problem in such a tremendous way. The backgrounds vary and are pretty well drawn for such a simple in nature game.
The soundtrack is catchy and will make you tap your foot while you play. The sound of a sniper rifle shooting is realistic and powerful, making the experience even more realistic. It is safe to say that Modern Sniper is a fun and addictive game, made not only for hardcore players, but also for those seeking and intelligent and witty challenge with an interesting setback. The game also employs a wonderfully witty sense of humour to make the boredom go away, which could be noticed every time you fail a mission. And don’t be mistaken – you shall fail a lot. But this is part of the fun of the game, which shines a lot among other stick men games.
