I had bought this game previously and loved it, had gotten some bad scratches and wouldn't load anymore. So found it on ebay and bought it again. Love playing it again.

I played this game at my brothers house a long time ago and have been looking for it every since. It is one of the most accurate and realistic FPS, first person shooter, games that I have ever come across. It is based during WW II and only has a catalog of the rifles used during that era. I think that most fasinating thing about this game is everything that it is programmed to take into account during a shot. For instance, your stance, your heart rate, your breathing, your shooting position(building, open air, etc.), and of course, gravity. The best shot that I have made yet was a head shot at 211 yards. Ask anyone who has played it, that in and of itself, really isn't that easy. The longest shot that I have seen anyone make was better than 1000yards. The game is a little gorey but, lets face it, the military act of sniping isn't really all that pretty. Bullets don't just tap people on the shoulder and ask to be let by. Anyway, it is a fantastic game and I recommend it to anyone who loves FPS game platforms.Read full review
I liked most things about Sniper Elite: the style of graphics (war torn city, terrain, etc), sound effects (explosions, screams, gun fire), the physics (ragdoll behavior, bullet collision, etc) are just awesome in this game. This game really does make you feel list a lone sniper crawling and sneeking around very hostile environments. Because of that, every one shot-one kill is a pure joy. The bullet time camera effects never get old. Seriously!!! I must've done hundreds of great looking head shots and it still never gets boring. The only thing I really don't quite like about this game is the story. I must admit, the story is the only thing that kept me from buying this game for a while. I don't like the idea of playing an American sniper disguised as a GERMAN sniper trying to stop Soviet forces from getting the nuclear secrets. The whole idea is just stupid. I swear, there are some missions in this game where the main character is actually helping those Nazi bastards fight the Russians. WTF?!!!!!!! Then in other missions you'll only be killing the Germans. Basically, in this game, you kill anything that's not AMERICAN. Personally, I would rather be playing as a Russian sniper, like Vasily Zaitsev from Enemy at the Gates. That would've made a whole lot more sense and been actually historically accurate.Read full review
Sniper Elite, for the Xbox, is an amazing 1st person sniping game. With online, 8 person multiplayer, Sniper Elite became an instant xbox classic for myself. With details such as wind resistance, distance, etc., the game is an amazing attempt at a sniper simulation. With great maps, and overall great gameplay, sniper elite is one of my favourite games for the original xbox.
I was looking for a game that gives me one on many interaction and many "tools" (sniper rifles, auto machineguns, silenced pistols, frag grenades, and more). This game delivered. The only real "bad" thing I have to say about it is when it ends, it ends. I'd love a sequel or some more "side missions". Also, the cheats are limited and finding them isn't easy. Variety is the spice of games.....
