3 out of 5 stars Good enough WW2 shooter but flawed   January 7, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I've just finished this game (single player) so it's fresh in my mind. What Sniper Elite promises (like "emergent AI") and what it delivers are unfortunately two different things. At it's core is a familiar third-person Medal of Honor style game but set in a large(ish) free roaming mission area with an authentic(ish) sniper mechanic bolted on. This may well satisfy some people but it certainly isn't what I was expecting. I was hoping more for a WW2 Enemy at the Gates type flexible, subtle and tactical sniper game. But it regularly forces you into run and gun gameplay - in fact it often simpler and easier to do it that way even when you don't have to. Unfortunately for all it's mechanical authenticity the sniping itself is also flawed - most of the time you'll be operating at ranges under 100m simply because of the size and nature of the various mission areas. Hardly realistic sniping scenarios. Basically the game is a mixed bag in almost every department. There some great ideas like the bullet time/camera 'reward' when you pull off a long range kill shot and some of the set pieces are outstandingly exciting. But for every one of these good things there a lump of more ordinary stuff bringing it down. The AI is one of the main problems - at times it IS highly impressive but the game simply can't maintain this sophistication. It regularly resorts to cheap 'psychic' enemies and crudely obvious spawning triggers. Enemies often teleport before your eyes. The graphics recreate a variety of bombed out city locations very effectively but there's a lot of texture repetition and the limits to playing areas are usually blocked off in the most unimaginative and frankly laughable ways. There are also places where they became over ambitious with the weather, smoke, explosion and lighting effects causing a noticeable drop in frame rate. In conclusion: if you can ignore the flaws Sniper Elite is a game you will have fun with but it doesn't really deliver what it promises. Pity.


5 out of 5 stars What a great game!!!   April 21, 2006

This is a great shoot em up game that also requires you to take your time in the great environments that the game offers. You mainly rely on seeing the enemy before they clock you and using your sniper rifle to take them out over some great distances. There are many other weapons you can use but only really in a "crikey i did not see him on top of me scenario!!!". And there really is nothing more satisfying than sniping a head shot at over 100m (you also get to watch the bullet fly through the air and hit your target in the head!!!).
I am a big fan of the Tom Clancy games and this is great too. A little easier than the TC games but very very very good. If i could give this six stars out of five i would. It also cost me only 7.49 new and i would of paid 30 for this game and still be very happy!

This really is well worth buying!!!!

This game is fantastic, couldn't put it down till I have finished it (no mean feat!!) If you like fast and furious action this isn't for you! This game takes patience and a steady trigger fingers!! the game has a strange feel of an old fashioned amiga or spectrum game that a cant put my finger on.... I hope there's a follow up soon!!!

I always seem to find myself on the PC or XBOX playing shoot em up games(which are supposed to be close range) sniping the enemy.
If you are the same or you like tactical games then this game is definately one to buy.

Sniper Elite can be played many ways. You can hide away and be sniper-like, you can run in guns blazing, you can do both. Any method comes with many challenges.
The enemy has snipers who have the same skills as you, Highly trained officers and your average soldier(who normally insists on running at you guns blazing!).

Its not as simple as some games where the AI Characters are confined to a specific area. These guys run at you, Hunt you down and snipe from long distance as soon as they have spotted you and are pretty good at it, especially if you are looking down your scope as you cannot see any other surroundings.

The reason for 4 stars and not 5 --- The levels are not great graphics-wise. If you liked medal of honour and similar games with very square edges with little additional detail then this is pretty much the same.
The actual levels are pretty big and spacious with some good, realistic sniping spots for both you and the enemy. I found that the levels were big enough for me to give most of my concentration to observing my surroundings.
The game is as challenging as you make it. Have it on easy and snipe by the book then you will get through but take the run in approach and be hunted down is still equally as fun only with a lower success rate.

Weapons - Sniper rifles, rocks, grenades, stick grenades, anti-tank weapons, silenced pistol, and rifles of all sorts. Collect ammo and weapons from dead enemy aswell as health and dogtags.

Co-op mode adds just more fun. No way can you say this is easier as in some ways it makes things harder having to revive your partner in the hot zone is pretty interesting at times. Tactics are still pretty important and good teamwork can make things go very smoothly.

I totally love this game. I love to take on the sniper role and this game gives you more than that. Fantastic game!
