How to play:

You have a sniper rifle ready in the middle of a chaotic city. You've been tasked with wreaking havoc on everything that comes your way. So naturally, you decide to shoot quickly as the time you have been given, is most certainly not infinite!

The goal of this game is for you to take down as many cars as you can. This sounds simple, but probably not as much as it seems to be. First and foremost, your ammunition is limited. Run out of ammo and your mission is over! Although if you manage to land successful shots, you'll get an extra magazine, two if your shot was precise enough!
Secondly, you're not alone! Unfortunately, another person has taken interest in putting all of their might in destroying this city, and no, they're not your friend! No problem, you shoot them too? Well that's exactly what you must do, but good luck; They're in a helicopter that fires rockets. Don't worry, they won't shoot you, not directly at least. They're more interested in taking down the same cars you're shooting and as such, every car they take down successfully, you lose some score. Better to just take the helicopter person down as fast as you can. Not just because of the score loss; Because of the good ammunition reward and score you'll get by shooting them down, too!
Third, the cars you're shooting, they aren't the friendliest bunch either. Not only they're quite crazy - driving right into a wall without a care, but they also drive into, you guessed it, you yourself! It'll hurt, so maybe try to prevent that.

Not everything is against you though, don't worry. Every now and then, a little glass container falls from the sky. Shoot it and you'll get a reward. To shoot this one, you should try to align the vertical aiming indicator's pitch with the pitch of the glass container's sound. What these glass containers give you are pretty self-explanatory. There's only one thing that's rather different, and it's the explosive rounds.
Explosive rounds aren't that complicated. As long as you have them, when you shoot, your bullets cause an explosion - meaning what's around them will also be effected, not just the thing you shot. Your bullet doesn't have to hit something necessarily, as when it gets out of range it eventually drops, and that also causes an explosion.

As mentioned earlier, you have a rather short time limit. When you shoot things down, you'll get some bonus extra time. So the better you play, the longer you play and the more score you will earn!

The radar has been changed slightly compared to the old version of The Road to Sanctuary. There's now a small indicator for when you can land a successful shot. Use this to your advantage and prevent wasting your hard-earned ammunition!
