Tactical systems and satisfying ballistics marred by irritating levels and punishing sight-detection by the...

By PC Authority on May 22, 2012 67

Sniper Elite V2's one of those stealthy games – in more ways than one – that seems to have achieved a fair amount of commercial success without first getting the usual critical sell via giant marketing campaigns and gushing reviews. In a lot of ways,...

Sniper Elite V2 aims to get the right balance between playing as a sharpshooter and fun factor, and their accuracy is pretty spot on. Developers Rebellion's latest Sniper offering is a remake of their 2005 release titled Sniper Elite: Berlin 1945.You...

By Strategy Informer on May 14, 2012 65

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 (and at...

Contrary to what modern-day multiplayer games may make you think, snipers aren’t just a bunch of campers. They may not lead an assault, but relying primarily on stealth, they infiltrate enemy lines, hunting their prey from a distance. Choosing a...

By New Game Network on May 09, 2012 68

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...

By GameSpy on May 06, 2012 60

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...

By GameSpot on May 01, 2012 60

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...

By Cheat Code Central on May 01, 2012 60

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,...

By Atomic MPC on May 22, 2012

Probably a bit too much ballistic detail... but still...

By NZGamer on May 18, 2012

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...

International Review By Looki.de on May 14, 2012 75

von Stephan Petersen "Zweiter Weltkrieg? Lahm!" - das würde ich so unterschreiben, wenn es sich um einen Ego-Shooter handeln würde. In allen anderen Genres, vor allem im Strategie-Bereich, finde ich das Thema nach wie vor interessant. Auch in Sniper...

International Review By neitsabes.fr on July 16, 2014

Je voyais Sniper Elite V2 qui me narguait dans ma bibliothèque Steam, jeu que j'avais eu gratuitement lors d'une opération promotionnelle de Valve, alors je me suis dit qu'il serait intéressant d'y jeter un coup d'œil. Et je n'ai pas été entièrement...
