AFA Interactive in conjunction with City Interactive, one of the fastest growing, worldwide publishers of interactive entertainment has today confirmed that the best selling first-person shooter; Sniper: Ghost Warrior, will be released in Australia for the PlayStation 3 system on Thursday the 5th of May.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior is set on the fictitious South American island of Isla Trueno, which is in turmoil following a military coup by the despotic General Vasquez. Vasquez and his mercenary army have taken control of the island, and the player is charged with joining forces with a group of covert commandos and infiltrating his base. However, whereas most first-person shooter titles focus on up-close firefights, Sniper: Ghost Warrior has won a legion of fans with its mix of stealth and realistic use of sniping.
Players are thus given total control as they pick their targets and take them out using their sniping skills. Wind direction, the movement of your target and precision aiming are essential to taking out Vasquez and his men, elevating Sniper: Ghost Warrior above its peers.
The release of Sniper: Ghost Warrior for PlayStation 3 comes after the Xbox 360 and PC versions which have amassed sales of over one million units within just seven months. The PlayStation 3 game retains the realism of the existing versions, but adds new features and improvements to the game.
Revamped game play and graphics, and ‘Hard Core’ mode for elite players
All-new enemy AI
Exclusive single player missions for PlayStation 3
All-new multi-player modes including Capture the Flag and bonus multi-player maps
New sniper rifles including the L96 and the M200 Intervention
“We are delighted to confirm the May 5th release date for the highly anticipated Playstation 3 version of Sniper: Ghost Warrior” commented Robert Allford, Managing Director of AFA Interactive. “Rather than just port the original over, City Interactive have tweaked, revamped and enhanced the game in a number of ways, making it a much stronger title. This is indicative of City Interactive’ commitment to producing the very best titles and using lessons they have learnt in the past to benefit gamers. As such, we have high hopes that the PlayStation 3 game will equal or better the amazing success of its XBOX360 and PC counterparts.”
Sniper: Ghost Warrior for the PlayStation 3 system is scheduled to be released in Australia on May 5th. More information can be found online at http://www.sniperghostwarrior.com/ and http://www.afainteractive.com.au
