Game TitleSniper shooter (version 4.9)

Genre and ModeAction

Target AudienceSniper shooter is mostly trying to target age 12 plus. This game does involve violence but not too much violence to make the age target higher because that would be irrelevant and unnecessary. Sniper shooter is more attracting to males so I believe sniper is intending to try target the male sex more than the female sex. However this game is suitable for both genders as long as they enjoy a game with first shooter missions. Class D - working class for unskilled manual workers Or maybe Class E- This class is called lowest grade workers for people who are unemployed, pensioners etc.

Platform I played sniper shooter on a smart phoneHardware VersionThe smart phone I used was I phone 5, version 8.3

CostTo download, install and play sniper it is free. However there are additional in-app purchases for example before an mission there would be a list of guns, several will be free but the better performing guns will cost money.

Game ObjectiveSniper’s main game objective is to make the audience feel like they’re an ‘hitman’ by giving them different missions on them to find and shoot the stick men with a sniper just like a real hitman would. Overall there are 13 chapters of missions including mini sniper puzzles. To complete each chapter there are certain achievement’s you have to complete, once completed you will unlock the next chapter.

Game StructureSnipers structure is very simple it is an action game full of levels and chapters. There are 12 chapters, to complete the chapter you have to complete the 5 levels in per chapter. Once you have done a level up to the games slandered you will earn a star. The stars are collected up and are required to unlock the next chapter. For example for chapter 5 you might need 12 stars to unlock it, if you haven’t got enough stars you are able to go and play the previous chapters to try and earn more stars to move up a chapter.

PositivesSniper has many positives this can vary from the hilarious punch lines the game throws into some missions which make you more entertained and want to carry on making the game much more addicting. Or the detail of the blood splatter once you shoot one of your victims which gives you an chill down your spine and make you have an weird satisfying over being able to put your shoes into an life of a sniper. Another positive I like is the different missions. Some sniper games just make you shoot who ever and have a very small Varity of detail in their game. This doesn’t happen in sniper; each mission is different making it much more entertaining and gives you more edge on what you have to do.

NegativesEven though this game is based around stick men, the quality of the graphic in this game is quite surprising. Sniper does like to make each mission different however I do think they should put more detail and thought into the game. The sounds in the game are very poor and don’t give a large amount of different sounds or noises. For example in some missions there is a crowd, but the detail of the crowd is very poor. I understand that there isn’t much detail to stick men but they should at least put more detail within the scene or with the different.

Bugs IdentifiedThe main bug of this game is that the controls can be difficult. You have to tilt the screen to get the target onto the victim however it

isn’t as easy as that. Sometimes the target can be too sensitive and fly across the screen in the slightest tilt or at other times tilting the screen might not budge the target quick enough. Another negative that I have come across is that the stick men will be too quick to across the screen and make it more than difficult to attempt to shoot the victim.

ConclusionIn conclusion sniper is a suitable game for anyone who likes to be first shooter and like to complete achievements and levels throughout their game. It is quite a simple game with a lot of twists. Once you start this game you will get addicted after a few missions although the controls can be very difficult and stressful it does help out balance some of the easy missions making it a little harder for you to complete making it more of a challenge. So if you are a gamer who does like having a challenge and an objective then this game would be perfect. I personally like this game and most probably would give it an 6 out of 10, to improve this score I would like the game to become more detailed and for the bugs to be looked at.
