Hothead Games's Kill Shot is, as you might imagine, a sniper game for the mobile platform. Your character selects which mission to go on, either the main sniper mission, where you must snipe a certain type of enemy or amount of them, or the "Support" missions which feature assault weapon play. There is also the "Black Ops" missions where you have to take out a top level terrorist before he reaches his car, and daily missions.
The game offers an interesting mix of game play, as well as upgrades for your weapon. Many missions actually require you to upgrade your weapon to a certain stat, so upgrading becomes a main component.
The game has very detailed 3-D game environments for the levels. Upon first play it was impressive to see.
The game menus are well done, and for being a free game it overall looks very high quality. Each time a mission is completed, the level ends with a bullet time finisher, where the camera follows the bullet from the weapon to the target. With the variety of missions, it also gives the player a lot to do.

There are a few cons to the game. For one, the enemies are way too fast. Once you miss or the mission requires multiple targets, they sprint to the level exit. And when I mean sprint, I mean Kenyan marathon runner sprinter. There is a boost that allows the game to slow down, but boosts are expensive. This leads to the next issue, there is too great an emphasis on items. The game play seems to be built around making you use boosts in order to make you purchase more. Also, as one might expect, the game gets repetitive too fast; you can only look through cross-hairs for so many minutes at a time. Finally, the controls are just not tight enough. There were multiple times where I pressed the "fire" button, only to see the target bolting away unscathed.
Kill Shot is okay game to play. If you are a fan of sniper games, you will definitely enjoy this. If you're not a huge fan of this genre, you may want to look for a different game to play.
