Originally bought this for my husband. Watched him play while sitting in the room working on something else. It was interesting how you can go anywhere and go after most options in any way you wish to do them. Depending on how difficult you set it up, it changes the way the Nazi's behave.
I am not a huge video game fan, however, I started on Sniper Elite 3 and really enjoyed it. Then I finally bought this game on disk, so I could play it too as hubby was always playing in his free time. I have gotten to the Sniper Elite difficulty but decided not to go further because I didn't want to have to figure out how to aim without the aid of the little diamond and like seeing where the Nazis are on the little map.
There is so much built into this game that it is one of my favorite video games ever. The first game I ever played was Pong. So I am old school. I like the games that allow you the freedom to shape your play in a way that fits you. My husband goes gangbusters into herds of Nazis and I like to kill them with head shots from a distance. I like to kill every single Nazi until there are none left and my husband just finishes the missions. Both of us are happy with the freedom. I actually like to play it when I am trying to relax after working or when my brain is too tired to study.
San Celini is a nice introduction to the game. There are no snipers in that mission. Good one for distance sniping. The second mission (the Village) is more difficult. If you are not stealthy, the radio guy will call in the Jagers and you will have your hands full. You can hear the Nazis killing the Partisans in the background, so there is a sense of urgency. The visuals are stunning. Lots of the missions are near water. The quality of the water and waves is great. During night missions there are even bugs around the lights. During the Viaduct mission the scenery is lovely. I highly suggest you wear headphones on that one and some of the others because you hear crickets and birds, depending on where you are. I have all the extra missions too. You have to have those. The trophies are fun sometimes. You can even shoot out most of the lights, just for fun. Depending on the mission, you may wish to use generators as a sound masker or rig them so one of the Nazis will get blown up when they fiddle with it. I killed an officer just the other day by rigging the generator. You can choose what weapons and other devices you bring with you when you start. I am a fan of the silenced rifle ammo.
Again, this is my favorite game. Everything is winnable. There are no missions that are too challenging. I would have rated God of War better if the last Valkyrie was not so hard to beat and there were a little more too it. I also liked the Lara Croft series of games but again, they have silly bosses that are just put in to make it difficult. The crazy difficult bosses actually detract from fully enjoying the game when you have to play a boss over and over again to get to the next location or level. I don't find that enjoyable.
All around, for the reasons that I have mentioned, Sniper Elite is fun to play, as challenging as you desire it to be, and not distracted by levels that are too hard to beat. You can play it over and over again and still get surprised by the programming. You can change how you approach the missions every single time. The extras are awesome! Scenery is realistic. Movement of people is realistic, although not perfect. Bodies can end up quite contorted when they die or sometimes float above the ground. Aiming is very good, although yesterday, there was a lot of drift and the Nazis were jerking around a bit. Part of the design. It changes based on what level of difficulty you choose or if you customize the difficulty.
If you are going to buy any video game for a first person shooter, I could not recommend this one more strongly. Just buy it. You will thank me. :-)

Absolutely fantastic game! - Stealth, self paced, slow motion kills, explosive kills - Hugely satisfying game!
Absolutely fantastic game! In most of today's fast paced games, this comes as a welcome change. I love how you can take your time and wait for the right moment. You can play as fast or as slow as you like. There are so many ways you can complete a mission. The graphics are decent but what takes the cherry is the slow motion capture of the speeding bullet as it shatters the enemy's body - HUGELY satisfying! And needless to say, you're killing Nazis! So no guilt factor too.. as if you had that playing video games :))
