4.0 out of 5 stars
Love it!, 17 Oct 2005
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!
