With a title as awkward sounding as Sniper Elite, you might not expect a game that can impress. However, developer Rebellion has built a respectable game for fans that really, really like sniping. To clarify, this game is pretty much all sniping. If you don't snipe, you're pretty much dead. It's 1945 and you're a West Point trained American soldier disguised as a German and working to prevent an advancing Soviet force from stealing atomic technology. Get all that? Basically, at the end of World War 2 it's clear that the Soviets are threatening to take over all of Europe. As an American spy codenamed Eagle Watch, you'll need to stop the Soviet secret service, the NKVD, from obtaining Nazi nuclear technology though a series of assassination, rescue, intelligence, and assault missions. Nobody interested in this game should be disappointed to learn that the close range combat is flawed, since you'll want to use your sniper rifle most of the time anyway. Rebellion recognized this and has constructed a very entertaining and satisfying system for sniping. Of course your controls are fully customizable, but by default you'll hit the space bar to snap up your sniper scope. Bringing this up takes you from the third person perspective from which you play most of the game to a first person view through your scope. You can zoom in and out as well as lean around corners and reload without exiting this view. Pulling off the slow motion sniper shots is decidedly fun, and without a doubt an experience that will have you continuing through some of the more frustrating areas just to do it again. Accurate sniping will take some thought and consideration. It's not just point and shoot, you need to take into account wind direction, gravity versus length of your shot, heart rate and breathing, and several other factors. The most apparent effect is gravity, but everything else still causes slight alterations, making every shot a unique experience. Enemies whom you haven't killed in one or two shots also occasionally drop to the ground and writhe in pain. The game supports play over LAN and online. You can customize your character's appearance and play either Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Assassination modes, all of which help to expand the gameplay experience and make this game much more entertaining. After all, it's more intense to face off against a human controlled sniper than one that's following some artificial behavioral pattern.
If you're a big fan of tagging enemies with sniper bullets and watching your calculated handiwork culminate in a gore-filled, slow motion replay, then you'll definitely enjoy Sniper Elite. The game is basically all sniping, since most close range combat is awkward and ineffective. At times you'll be frustrated by how accurate enemy seem to be or how often you're caught by surprise, despite your best scouting efforts, by groups of foes triggered by certain events. You'll have to be able to put up with reloading your game multiple times, but you'll be rewarded with a deep sniping system and large array of combat options, such as protecting your sniping spot with tripwire grenades.
