Sniper Elite V2

Richard Dower

Bought this last week....superb game if, like me, you are into stealth, sniping and planning hits.

Its not a run and gun title, it requires a brain, stragedy and planning....there are numerous vantage points and sniping locations you can choose. The bullet ballistics are superb and ultra realistic....but it makes the game very hard!

Bullet drop, wind direction, muzzle velocity and sundry other factors come into play, but when you see the bullet whizzing through the air and it going through the body....its epic!

Its one of the hardest games i have ever played though! :eek: ....the enemy AI is wicked and frustrating, they hunt you down...they are intelligent and unpredictable....easily the best AI i have seen in games.

I love long range sniper shots and this game is exactly what i wanted, i bought all of the DLC from the store and there will be another new DLC in a month or so.....:)

Yeah, I played the demo and liked it.

Is it selling cheap anywhere?

I only played this recently and really enjoyed it, I’m pretty sure I was on the final stretch when my ps3 (original) died. I’ve since bought a new console, any idea on how to recover the disc from the faulty console?

Is there not an emergency eject hole of the drive?....if not you might have to (carefully) crack it open....if the drive will no longer be used just break it apart

Got the game the weekend. Its very good game makes you think some of the time. I dont like the fact that you can take 2, but mostly 3 hits from a enemy sniper before he kills you. and this is on hardest.

The Xray kills and camera following the bullet is getting a bit old now. May see if i can turn them off when playing tonight.

Havent tried the multiplayer option yet.

All in all i would give it an 8/10

There are 5 DLC in all for the PS3, six on PC....the Landwehr Canal pack DLC couldn't be adopted for console, not enough memory/CPUGPU power...:(

The mission looked superb as well, there are play throughs on YT.....all the DLC is on the PS3 store and the online store for sure!
