Sniper Elite V2 is the second part of the Sniper Elite series, one of the most interesting shooters set in World War II. In the game, we play as an American sniper. The game takes place in 1945 Berlin obliterated by the fighting armies of the German and the Soviet.
The main element of gameplay is the mixture of stealth tactics, avoiding unnecessary combat and numerous ways of completing the mission. Sniper Elite V2 PC gained many mechanics which raise the authenticity of sniper missions. To take an accurate shot, perfect sight is not enough – knowledge about ballistic parameters of weapons, weather conditions and the ability to control one's body is also required.
In closing, Sniper Elite V2 does a lot of things right. The tactical components have been well thought out, despite predictable enemy AI upsetting the balance somewhat. Minor issues aside, headshot enthusiasts and stealth fans will find much to love here.
I have to admit that my expectations were much lower, but it's fun to cower in the shadows and work out the perfect way to the target and then get the timing just right.
A ballsy take on the WWII shooter formula. [July 2012, p.65]
Your level of enjoyment will be almost directly mapped to how entertaining you find the visual spectacle to be, and - for me at least - it was perfectly good fun in short bursts.
Tactical systems and satisfying ballistics marred by irritating levels and punishing sight-detection by the enemy.
It's too bad that everything outside of the sniping is so mediocre.
Advanced ballistics system, Sniper Elite's saving grace, does not hide the game's flaws, but rather puts them out for all to see.
