niper Elite is not for everyone. If you are looking for a "run and gun" style shooter, then this is not the game for you. This, is a thinking man's shooter, which is good and bad. The thinking part of the game plays out when you have to covertly position yourself (translated: a lot of crawling) in a strategic firing location and then make adjustments to your aim considering factors like gravity (adjust for bullet drop), your heart rate, wind, etc. There is a lot of front work that goes into taking just one shot. Oh, but what a payoff! If you get all of your calculations right then you will be feasting on a buffet of single, double and even triple headshots! The best part of it is the "bullet cam". When you make an exceptional shot, the camera switches to a bullet cam that follows the bullet from muzzle to point of impact in satisfying albiet grizzly cinematic payoff for your effort. The AI in the game can prove to add to your frustration as they are pretty good at flanking you after you reveal your location. The ensuing firefight is equally frustrating because as a sniper you are not well equipped for such an engagement and usually killed rather quickly. Overall this is a solid game that offers something different from the glut of WWII and Vietnam wargames that are availble on the market.Read full review
I like that you have take into account all of the natural surroundings with gravity, wind speed/direction, heart rate, and position. The bullet camera is one of a kind. This is the only game that I've played that had a bullet camera. The only couple of things that I didn't like was that when you compensate for gravity, you shouldn't have to aim two "notches" above the target at 100 yards. That's not realistic, especially with the rifles that you are using that are effective out to 1000 yards. You should only have to compensate for gravity out to distances of over 300 yards or so, that would be realistic. I also don't like that the german rifle used for this game is the G43, which is semi-automatic and not nearly as accurate as the Kar-98 mauser which should have been used instead of the G43. That last thing I don't like about this game is the story. It absolutely screwed up with you only killing the russians and that's only because your dressed as a german sniper. In the second mission, the russians are rolling around in Berlin with tank support from german tanks which makes no sense at all to me. Other than those couple of things this game is very fun to play. It would be awesome if someone could come out with another version or another game like this on playstation 3 or xbox 360 to see what the graphics would be like and the ballistics and everything.Read full review
This is a fairly rare title for the PS2 platform. It is not easy to find at gaming and video shops I frequent so when I spotted it on E-Bay I had to have it. The action is fast paced and fun. When you use your scope and connect on a difficult shot the game responds by showing you the perspective of the shot just behind the bullet. You get to see the bullet as it travels and spins along the way to the target. Its sort of like the movie "The Matrix" if you recall how things slowed down when bullets were fired. You receive feedback on the distance of the shot in yards and of course you see exactly where the target was struck. On the easy level, things are just that. Pretty easy. You can survive getting hit by the enemy and still play on though you definitely want to save your progress on most levels as it is time consuming to get killed and have to repeat certain things. I like this game better than average. Playing two players is fun too but sometimes it is annoying to have to wait for the other guy to find you if you get seperated on the battlefield. The battlefield graphics are very good but the map function which you can switch to during combat to find your position is not all that useful in many of the scenarios. It's more or less a maater of intuition and keeping your eyes open for enemy troops and especially the enemy snipers who can be very good at popping out and shooting you if you're not stealthy.Read full review
This review is for the Playstation 2 version. I can't comment on the XBox game. I play games mainly for the online experience, but single player is fun, too. PRO's: Very tactical. You need to think before you move/shoot. Graphics are pretty good, even online. Great offline 2-player co-op, 8 player online with different game modes. Easier to play than any SOCOM game. CON's: Not many people know about this excellent game. There aren't very many people online playing. BUY THIS GAME and GET ONLINE NOW!!! No headset/voice chat support online. Text talking is a pain to use. I recommend this game for anyone who always grabs a sniper rifle while playing SOCOM or Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. It's like playing the sniper movie "Enemy at the Gates". If you like to stalk your prey, line up the perfect shot, then move to find your next victim, this game is for you. I hope more people pick it up and start playing it online. This is a great alternative to other WWII games and "twitch" style first person shooters. Look me up online: Blast4Me is my name.Read full review
I wanted this game as soon as I saw it, after playing a few minutes I loved it. The game works wonderfully, the shots react to gravity, wind and take skill to be good at. If you get noticed by enemies, they will react to anything you do, laying cover fire as one or two try to flank you. The good part is, you are also not restricted to a sniper rifle either, you get a silenced pistol, grenades, tnt and time bombs, and you can pick up a weapon from an enemy if needed for a close quarters combat situation. The enemy is incredibly hard, especially if you like going in guns blazing on the hardest mode (Sniper Elite). Stealth and Shooting are a must, and the situations very. Missions range from meeting a contact in a war torn city, to assasinating a key leader, to helping your allies steal enemy tanks. Plus, if you have played the Cabela's Big Game Hunter Game's, you will notice features like the camera following the bullet in slow motion for long range shots (pretty cool in a war game). Overall this game has great gameplay and very good graphics, It's just sad that it's not that popular.Read full review
