He is part of the North Africa campaign sent behind enemy lines during World War II to target a secret weapons programme of the Nazi troops.
The bright and colourful African environments are very different from the dark Berlin ruins in the previous game.
The basic gameplay is similar.
Fairburne needs to complete objectives in eight extensive levels using melee weapons, pistols, (sub)machine guns, his sniper rifle, booby traps, land mines and explosives.
Direct action is possible, but not encouraged to complete levels entirely.
The typical X-ray kill cam impact of sniper bullets is still present and it has been expanded to cover vehicles that can be taken apart piece by piece until they explode.
The biggest difference in design is the amount of freedom.
The game moves away from narrow corridors to a nonlinear approach in a more open environment with different options to progress.
Exploration is encouraged to discover secondary objectives.
Because of the environment there are more elements such as foliage that can be used to remain hidden.
During missions Fairburne gains experience for completing objectives, the circumstances of shots and collecting secrets.
Experience is used to customize the character, acquire better weapons and other improvements.
It is gained through all available game modes.
A loadout can be defined and additional weapons are picked up from defeated enemies.
The game's stealth system has been reworked.
There is now an eye icon that shows whether the enemy can detect Fairburne.
A circle meter over the heads of enemies shows their alertness.
There are various statutes, for instance when they have heard a shot or discovered a body, but are unsure about the exact location of Fairburne.
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Sniper: Ghost Warrior [Essentials] for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Sniper: Ghost Warrior [Essentials] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2011.
