New review posted: Sniper Elite

[Daniel Weissenberger]

Then I also additionally review Sniper Elite, as well:

"Snipers have been celebrated and elevated in the ranks of videogame characters. Ever since Goldeneye introduced the scoped rifle to the scene, it's become de rigeur for every first-person shooter (FPS) to feature a sniper rifle, giving players the opportunities to live out their fantasies of long-range murder. Despite this ubiquity, until now there had never been a game that attempted to realistically model the mechanics of actually using a sniper rifle*. Sniper Elite is the game that finally attempts to break that trend, and it's as much of a mixed bag as one would expect from an attempt at a new genre."

So does the game appeal to the long-range secret murderer, or doesn't it?

Good review. I liked the game, but did wish there were more places to hide and at a greater distance, and there were more than a couple run-and-gun segments that really pissed me off because of the controls. But, I agree, ultimately it is a good first effort at a new type of game. But it could have been better.
