I have always enjoyed playing war games.I can remember first playing medal of honour on ps1..Theres been a few since then what,s always caught my eye.The medal of honour series spring to mind.Also recently the call of duty series.But to be honest this title never really got me clicking to find what it was like.To go back to moh i have played all of them completing all of them exept for the current game.To be fair frontline still just gets to first base followed by euro assult.Rising sun? well i enjoyed it because they tried somthing different.It gets a bit boring wiping jerris out every time.Your probably thinking whats this got to do with this title? Well AT LAST we finally got what i think is the perfect war game.Why?because again we have somthing completly different.This is a 3rd person shooter which also becomes a 1st person depending what stance your in.Ie snipe mode,binoclour mode.Its based in berlin 1945 when russia was occuppying most of it trying to get things they should leave alone.(nuclear material).Your job is to stop them.Your deep in war torn berlin trying to snipe the russian,s who could be anywere.You have to search for them all over berlin.Thats the basic storyline.The beauty of this game which all of the above sadly miss is a proper atmosphere.It is quite grisly,very dark,it really does get you thinking that you are really there. The crappy weather.People screaming in the distance.And a real sense of being all alone.The tone is set right from the off.The graphics are good not brilliant but so what. This game more than makes up for that in the sound department.It does sound fantastic in all whats going off around you.Weapons are well stocked in you get trip grenades.Stick grenades,sub m/c guns.But most important your main weapon the sniper rifle.Theres about 5 or 6 to choose from.All go to sniper(scope)mode.You even have all the medi kits ,bandage,s etc.Actual gameplay is awesome if you manage a direct head shot the camara follows the bullet to its victims fate.I could go on but i,d be here rather than trying to snipe my next victim.It is difficult to put down once you start to get really in to it.Which dos,nt take long...To give some type of summary.Its the best war game so far (its realistic).None linear.Sounds great.Good selection of weapons.Over 28 missions.(longer than frontline)IT makes you think .Cannot just fly through it shooting anything.Is it better than euro assult,the big red one?Well all i will say is the above in my view are too arcadey.This game for me perfectly sets the the tone.

The first thing I noticed about this game was how good the A.I is. It's incredible to the point of unfair. You'll find a good spot, line up some russkies and if you're good enough, enjoy watching the bullet (in bullet-cam mode) enter the guys head (oh yes, it's packed with gore). All of a sudden, his slightly healthier comrades have gone. Swing your scope to the left and you'll just catch a glimpse of them running behind a building. "Nevermind, I'll just wait for them to stick their heads out." A couple of minutes later you'll be wondering what's taking them so long. Suddenly 71 rounds are shot into you from a PPSh-41. Not surprisingly, you're dead and the camera whips behind you.So that's where they went.Believe me when I say it get's worse than that. (Getting caught by an enemy sniper can be devastating.)The above example is of the slightly harder difficulties. The good news is you can customize your difficulty, so you can have realistic effects (wind, body position ect) with easy A.I which does even things out a bit.The missions vary from taking out a target to covering someone's escape, and you can usually approach the objectives how you want. You can lay tripmines to stop the enemy sneaking up behind you, throw rocks to lure an enemy out from his position, clear out a room with a well placed grenade, shoot a trucks fuel tank, place TNT in the road as a trap for tanks or infantry (snipe it as they approach it) and you can even get 4 for 1 kills with your rifle.There is a reasonably large collection of weapons in the game such as the Mosin-Nagant M91 (Rifle), MG-42 (Machine gun), Silenced Walther P38 (pistol) and a Panzershrek (german Bazooka) to name but a few. You also have the option to search bodies for ammo and health packs.The atmosphere of the game is incredible. You see planes going down, rockets being launched and screams can be heard in the distance along with constant gunfire and explosions, which can be used to mask your gunshots. (like Enemy at the Gates)The multiplayer is good, providing you and your friend both have the patience and skill required. I haven't had the chance to try it online in a multiplayer deathmatch, but I'm considering getting the PC version just for the online mode.If you have the skill and patience and you want a game similar to the film 'Enemy at the Gates' then this is definitely the game for you.

Overall this game is excellent, it's fun to play, fairly easy to get to grips with but still difficult enough to keep you challenged and interested.It's a sniper game set during the final months of World War Two. You play an OSS agent codenamed 'Eagle Watch' whose mission it is to infiltrate Berlin and prevent the Russians from capturing atom bomb technology from the defeated Germans.The surroundings in the game are mostly ruins with the occasional enemy base thrown in for good measure, you spend the game moving around the city finding targets and blowing them away with your rifle or if you prefer your grenades, machine gun or silenced pistol these are also available. The game also gives you access to dynamite,first aid kits and my personal favourite; The trip wire grenade....believe me you can have hours of fun with those alone!!The sniping aspect of the game is impressive, you can set the difficulty level depending on your skill level. You can switch on/off the wind, gravity etc to make your shooting more realistic or simplify it if you are having a little difficulty.The missions are quite varied. Generally you must help the German resistance or assasinate some important commander or rescue a captured agent etc.The game can be quite gory in places. For example; if you fire a very accurate shot over a long distance (i.e a shot aimed at the head) the bullet will approach the target in slow motion and....well you can guess the rest. It's a great idea and effectively illustrates the horrible side of war but for some children it might be a bit graphic.My only reservations about the game are some glitches in the graphics i.e you can get stuck on invisible walls or the barrel of your rifle will disappear inside a wall as you crawl past but generally the graphics are good for a PS2 game. Also some aspects of the story are a bit naff. Would a sniper deep behind enemy lines be dispatching tanks or rescuing captured agents? I think not, but if that kind of detail doesn't bother you then I think you will be amazed by this game.I would go as far as to say if you are a fan of war games then Sniper Elite should be in your collection.

I've always been waiting for a decent game that involves sniping. The idea of stealth, patience and the sweet accomplishment after you get the shot you waited for.Sniper Elite, based on the OSS against the Russians NVKD is probably the best sniper only based game there is out there, based on fact but made fictious it allows for you to get a feel of the atmosphere as it was back then...The sniping itself is fantastic.Unlike most games where you aim in the centre no matter how far away the tango is, and get a clean shot...Here you have to take into account true sniping precautions.Wind, Gravity, Heartbeat and Posture. You have to aim notches, left or right to counter strong winds,and notches up or down to get the gravity right. The further you are away the higher you aim your scope. Heartbeat allows for you to hold your breath for 10 seconds, to get a clean shot while posture aloso aids in gravity and in the actual accuracy.When you've done all that you get a key feature of the game, aim at the head, lift up, go right a little. Take a deep breath to lock target and fire -- Then you get to watch your bullet fly dirctly to the target, making the victims head explode =) This is called points of fame. Most snipers don't in reality don't get to see thier handywork, but on SE you do and it's rewarding.The game sets you in a number of levels, from urban to country side and the AI of the enemy troops is fantastic. They respond to sound, they ambush you, they flush you out and they set traps to name a few. They make good use of cover and often are able to flush you out pretty easily..The game becuase of this focuses on stealth...You hide in a wrecked bulding, and take a couple of shots, then you move to another position - This is called relocating..And in your next location as the troops are searching for you you set up a trip wire to blow them up before they find you.The game is amazing, and as well as sniping, for when you do get cornered you have a slinced pistol and a machine gun, also some grenades.Hope this gives you a better idea of what is to offer....But for the real experience I suggest giving it a go. It's a fun challenge.

I bought Sniper Elite a few weeks back. The first thing I want to stress about this game is that, if you are looking for a fast paced, run and gun shoot em up then look elsewhere. Sniper Elite is all about patience, much like sniping basically. The game is set towards the end of WW2, you play an American OSS agent, posing as a German soldier against the Soviet Empire. Your job is to prevent the Russians from gaining access to the secret weapons in and around Germany, the A Bomb being high on the list.The secret of this game is that you must check your surroundings with your binoculars and your scope before you make a move. That means checking windows, doorways, rooftops and wreckage,to name but a few, for enemy soldiers before you decide to move through the open. If you do not then you will be shaking hands with mr dead very quickly, trust me! The levels are quite short but due to you having to take your time they do last well. The best thing I love about this game is the kill shot camera. If you shoot an enemy with your rifle, such as a head shot, the camera will follow the bullet in slow-mo right up to the moment of impact and you will recieve a distance and award rating accordingly. I once got 178 meters, covert head shot but I haven't been able to do it again.The graphics are okay, sharp and realistic and the environments, while contained, seem so vast, especially when you use your binoculars for spotting. You can customise the game to elliminate the gravity and wind effects so your bullet will not fall or stray over great distances but this will not let you gain scores. The only down side is that their is only the campaign or net play functions. their is no single player deathmatch options nor challenges which does make the game seem very limited. Once you've completed it and have no internet connection there's nothing much to keep you coming back.If you like strategy more than action then this game is a must. You will often be placed in a situation where you will have to choose how and who to elliminate as if you get into too many open firefights you will be dead.Again if not sure try before you buy!

I was looking for another war game, dont know, wht, just felt like one, then i stumbeld across this, i was unsure at first, thinking that sniping on other games is easy which will make this whole game easy, i was wrong.This is a brilliant game! So realistic, you can turt gravity off and wind off to make it easier if it is just too hard but playing with them on is just so realistic.Other sinpers are great too, one time, i was waiting to shoot some cornal guy, i was undetected, or so i though, lying in scilent wait, then all of a sudden i hear gunshots and dust coming off the walls and floor, i jumped straight back into the ally, slowly started walking out viewing through my scope and again,gunshots hitting inches above my head, i zoomed in and noticed that there was i tiny bump ontop of a huge building, i waited a minuit or so and this guy poppes up with a sniper. The range was like 300 metres! and the wind was strong so i aimes very high, and very left, pulled the trigger and bang. It went into bulletmode, following the bullet for what seemed like a lifetime and eventually ripped right through the snipers head, and when it did, he didnt just die, he stayes balenced for a second or two, enough time to see the gory bullet hole just made, then he falls off like a dummy, by far my best shot yet, and sneeking up behind sniper where possible is fun, scilent pistol them in the head and knowbody is any the wiser.One bad point, on one level i had to blow some steel doors up and i did, but that was still my mission objective, so i did it but i didnt count me as doing it so i was stuck, and hadnt saved in ages so i had to go all the way back to the start of the level, and now i cant get back to the door bit, other than that a great game for all thet like realistic shooters.

Some superb physics are incorporated into this game.The bullet-cam feature of the game is brilliant in itself. It feels so good to actually see the bullet fly in slow motion into the target you fought so tirelessly to get to.There are so many things you can do as your role of sniper. For example, you can lay tripwire grenades to cover your tracks. In fact earlier on today, it was rather funny to be walking along a road and suddenly hear a scream followed by an explosion, only to see "Remote Detonation" appear on screen. You can use many swift and sneaky moves to destroy targets. You can plant some TNT and wait until something passes close to it, then you shoot it so it detonates.If you feel being really big headed you can use some rather stylish one shot explosions. Shooting the cap of the fuel drum on tanks and trucks causes them to blow up (easier said than done while the vehicle is in motion). Not only that, see that grenade on the soldiers belt?, shoot it to blow up him and anyone around him.While you do all these fancy things, we cannot overlook the real point of the game... sniping. The game's physics are awesome. Not only do you have to watch out for bullet drop due to gravity, you have to watch for wind speed and even holding your breath. To get the most accurate shot, try holding your breath and firing in between heart beats (yes, that affects it too).It is a truely magnificent game and a must have for any sniper game fan. If you enjoy sniping on games like Battlefield 1942 and Black Hawk Down and want a bit more realism, try this. It even has 2 player capability to work through missions (sniper and spotter) and also internet capability.I give this game 5 stars since it is truly fantastic.

Ive waited ages for a good sniper game on ps2 and finally its arrived.If you fancy a change to the usual 'run around and spray bullets everywhere' games,you know the kind,then you'll love this.its so different to the usual WW2 games.Your an American sniper(typical)and you have to snipe your way through Berlin,you even have real landmarks such as the Reichstag and the Brandenburg gate.the graphics are very good,and the gameplay is also very good.you must concentrate on camouflage,concealment,your fire position,the noise your shot makes,for example if you fire off a round then your going to attract attention,but if your clever and have good timing you can cover the sound of your shot with anexplosion,a covert kill,and you remain hidden,result.you wont be able to just run through this,it takes thought,and time,its a really refreshing change from the norm.The dead dont disappear either.if you kill a guy,he stays where you killed him,he doesnt vanish like in other games.There are some really great features such as the bullet cam,get a long range hit or a nice head shot and the view follows the round in slow-mo all the way into its target.brilliant feature.Also on the bullet cam,you get to see the wound you've just caused,with a nice entry hole and lotsa blood.headshots are best for this as you see your round rip your targets head open.trust me this feature is the nuts.You can save your game anywhere you like which is good,saves you having to reach checkpoints.i could go on and on about this game,if you fancy a change to the MOH, Call of duty etc,but still want war,then buy this game.its fantastic.

I had the demo of this ages ago and loved it. For some reason I forgot to buy the full game until now. For the price now I would definatley recommend it!One thing i do love about this game is you can play it at a nice relaxing pace-stealth will help you get through the missions. The gameplay itself consists of 3-5 objectives per mission such as clear enemy in a given area, assassinations, destroy strategic points. Missions are varied enough to keep gameplay interesting.You must use stealth and keep your distance from the enemy to make full use and advantage of your sniper rifle. You can also can carry machine guns, pistols, time bombs, grenades, first aid kits etc to help you on your way.Search bodies to top up your ammo etc.Graphically the game is very good. You get a bullet cam view of kills which is very amusing and a nice touch which actually doesnt get too repetitive. Points are also awarded for special shots- 2 kills with one bullet, moving targets etc so you can go back do the level over again and try to improve.Some people have said that the AI could be better? Are they playing on Rookie still? Change the difficulty to Sniper Elite and you will increase the realism. Wind, Gravity, Heart Rate will make aiming more real and the enemy will react faster and with more accuracy. The harder the level selected will mean you have less saves per level too.Overall great Sniper FPS! Buy it! I'm playing on P4 3.6 Ghz, 2Gb Ram, X850 XT 256MB GFX Card-Full settings-No lag great framerates. Very enjoyable!

This game is fairly addictive, the story line is a little bit lame, typical your character is an American... Aren't they always? *sigh* anybody would think they were the only special forces in the European War... Anyway American Flag waving aside, it doesnt do a bad job at keeping you entertained. The bullet time slo-mo clips on headshots are quite groovy and will keep you and your friends amused for a few hours. The game itself has plent of missions, a variety of different weapons, with several different sniper rifles, mg42, mp40 (German ones are always the best right?) some good detail on the uniforms of the troops, you encounter plenty of SS and NKVD troops as well as regulars.Where does it fall over?Difficult to say its bad at anything, but... i get the feeling that it could have done a bit better with the AI, especially the tanks, you often find a T34 and a Tiger literally Hull-Hull not firing... what is goin on there? Generally the AI of the enemies is poor unless you ramp it up to Hard Level, then they offer a decent level of resistance, intelligence and threat. The missions are a bit samey as well, though they are not boring... I guess the worst thing is the slight unresponsive touch to the movement and the occasional getting stuck for a second or two to pieces of scenery or vehicles, its a tad annoying... but on the whole, i would definitely say its worth a weekend in front of the Flat Panel and if you grab yourself a copy for a reasonable price, then you shouldnt be disappointed.

I'm not a hardcore gamer and played this game mostly in the evenings, just to relax after a long day's work. I found it well designed and addicting, even in the easy mode. Best way to play is with the Wii Zapper or similar game controller with Nunchuk incorporated as it's more comfortable to play. The game itself it's challenging enough to guarantee you stay glued to the screen trying to figure out the best way to approach the targets without being shot at (again, I'm more of a casual player, so I may not have the "finger-skills" of veteran players). The possibility to look at the area map is vey helpful and handy to organize your tactics in each scenario, but the map iteslf is not (rightfully)accurate, so you still need to explore and find your way around. There are some locations where you can find some additional ammuntions and first-aid kits that may come handy. I spent many evenings to reach the end of all the story (each chapter contains a number of sub-chapters to complete). After I completed the easy version I started the normal one and also got a flavor of the Elite level, and it's very deadly! I did not give 5 stars to this game for the following reasons:1) two scenarios require to wander off the indicated target area to complete and at first I thought the game had a bug;2) Only 7 saves are allowed per each scenario and for some it's not enough;3) Some graphics could be improved (you see guns or body parts sticking out from buildings (quite amusing)....

I have played many war situation console games but this one was missed when choosing all those other big name War situation games.I don't usually pass judgement on any game when it is played for the very first time as usually the starter level is usually boring or even amaturish.Sniper Elite started in the same way but once through that first level my eyes were opened to how real all the scenes seemed to be.The action is as fast or as slow as you wish to play it out. I would look around the streets that i was fighting the enemy and one particular street i thought i was actually there almost to the point that someone was going to tap me on the shoulder.The explosions and the actual shootings are very real and often graphic,I also very much like being able to follow the bullet after being fired until it reaches its subject.I had to write this review as i thought the game was very, very good! Other war situation games would or will have a lot to contend with. The movements and the action was very good. Ubisoft site told me about this game and i am glad i tried it out. Well done to those who produced this game i think this is a real smash hit and should be ranked very highly indeed.The music is also something i very much enjoy especially when the enemy are trying to seek me out or me taking them out. Brilliant just brilliant.If you have not played this game yet and you love sharp shooting in a slient but deadly fashion then this is one for the collection.

Top notch cracking game - better gameplay than V2 IMHO. First played it on Playstation 2 then my old XP PC and now on Windows 7 with a 27" monitor which is an outstanding experience.A bit of tweeking to do however for Windows 7 64bit - the game itself loads fine but the Starforce copy protection will prevent your PC restarting when instructed to do so in order to complete the installation of the copy protection files. Windows repair SHOULD automatically uninstall the Starforce files and game installation files and then start as normal. If you've reached this stage there is a LEGITIMATE 'Starforce removal tool' file available (Google it) to remove any traces of these files on your system.Better still before reaching this stage,Google and download a LEGITIMATE 'SniperElite v1.0 NoDVD patch' then install the game as normal but cancel the Starforce installation. Navigate to the actual game files and replace 'SniperElite.exe' with your patched replacement file which has the same name (don't forget to make a new desktop shortcut from the patched file). Start it up and enjoy one of the best sniper games you'll ever play; but it's a game of patience and strategy not a shoot 'em up all guns blazing job.I hope this is of help and I emphasise these are legitimate files and not piracy - you still need to install the game from a disk. Worth bearing in mind that if people didn't pirate games in the first place we wouldn't have all this hassle with DRM.

i love sniping, i snipe in any game that gives me the oppertunity from classic cod, uo, cod2, cod4 and bf2 to name a few. so when i see a game that is purely for snipers i jump at it.at first glance i wasnt too impressed with the graphics, but graphics dont make a game good....but it helps.the gameplay is pretty good and plent of things to do to keep u occupied, destroying tanks and taking out specific targets.i do feel more could have been done with maps. it is pretty much all ground based, you cant climb buildings or towers for a better vantage point. i didnt like the idea of having to shoot my way through everything. it would have been nice to actually be able to use the stealth side of the game.the maps are not big enough to acheive the true long range shots that snipers had to pull of in RL all those years ago. it says in the manual that a competant sniper was able to kill a targert from over xxxx meters away. at no point in the game did i come accross an oppertunity to make a kill at that distance.i didnt rate the AI either, you fire 1 shot and they know exactly where u are. usually it should take about 2-3 shots before they pinpoint you.it is still a very good game and fun to play, im glad they implemeted the gravity and widage effects on bullet travel too which adds to the challenge.so all in all a good game but maps needed to be much bigger with more accessable areas i.e buildings etc and AI needs improving.

i did think a lot to this game as i waited for it looking at reviews and gameplay videos. this is the most weirdest game 2 get used 2 coz its really realistic.like in real life u cant c people for ages till they start shooting.but fair enough coz there is sum unrealistic parts 2 it such as the fact u blow up nearly every tank wit 1 shot or a well placed tnt(unrealistic coz u can so close so easy on watever difficulty ur on witout the tanks shooting u)but the worst thing about this game is it makes all other sniper parts of any other games looks like baby play.ok maybe thats a gud thing but i do love this game apart from the fact it takes ages to go through the levels if u muck up just once andhad forgotting 2 save beforehand.overall i love this game and wat im getting at is that if u wana fall in love with one game let it be this because its fun as long as you persuade yourself not to too cocky and try and complete it with guns blazing!it mite work 1st few levels but not after that.but i gotta admit cqb is pretty bad on this.but apart from those small bad points this is amazing game and will not stop you enjoying the pleasure of shooting someone from a great distance away
