Pros

Fun and creative multiplayer modes.
Looks pretty good.
X-ray kill cam is cool.
A pinpoint shot over long distance is immensely satisfying.
Delightfully gory kill animations.
Nice array of explosive traps.
Tense competitive multiplayer.

Cons

Linear single-player campaign.
Audio tech issues.
Bad checkpoint system.
Enemy AI can be transparently dumb.
Unnatural enemy spawning.
Can feel like you are exploiting rather than outmaneuvering your foe.

in 2005, Rebellion released a third-person shooter called Sniper Elite. It was more of a simulator than what you might expect to find in your more typical shooter, similar to Bohemia Interactive’s Arma, or Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint...

As a one-trick pony with a premise that’s covered entirely by the title alone, Rebellion’s Sniper Elite V2 sets about its business in a workmanlike and fairly uninspired fashion. From the overly-familiar World War 2 setting through to uneven...

The original Sniper Elite from 2005 was an interesting experiment. It was a title that managed to find a niche in the third person shooter genre, which usually caters to wide audiences. Seven years later, the unimaginatively named Sniper Elite V2 has...

There are moments where Sniper Elite V2 nails what (I assume) it feels like to be a badass sniper behind enemy lines in World War II. Like sitting in a church tower, picking off enemy soldiers one at a time, and masking rifle shots to coincide with...

There are many challenges that await the virtual sniper. Infiltrating an area undetected, stalking your prey, and acquiring an uninterrupted line of sight--the tension of the hunt. Picking off targets, moving to a new position, setting traps, and...

Sniping is whole different beast from other styles of first-person shooting. While shotguns, SMGs, assault rifles, and even pistols merely offer different takes on running onto the battlefield and hoping to shoot your enemy before he shoots you,...

Sniper Elite kender sin egne begrænsninger, og med det mener jeg at spillet kender sit publikum. Det er ikke ude efter at lokke pedantiske historikere med en præcis 2. Verdenskrigs-simulation. Ej heller er det ude efter at tilfredsstille...
