Everywhere else? Some dated ideas do begin to show through the cracks. Surprisingly, not too badly in the meat and potatoes department where it made its name. How well does Sniper Elite V2 hold up in comparison? Seven years, in which we’ve seen the franchise evolve to gloriously gory new heights in the superb Sniper Elite 3 and 4 sequels which moved the battle further across the European theatre of war. Sniper Elite V2 is back, with a fresh new coat of paint that makes a game of Aryan vs Predator look that much better.
Developer Rebellion decided to crack out a sequel to a 2005 game, heighten the sniping aspects even further and give players a gory new look into the biological inner workings of a Nazi as you dissected them with 303 calibre rounds from a Lee Enfield rifle.
It’d be a shame if somebody were to…misplace a bullet inside of it, know what I mean? Seven years ago, Sniper Elite V2 was that game. That’s a nice skull you got there, Adolf. The Fuhrer is having a bad day, and if there’s one thing that Reich Said Fritz doesn’t need right now, it’s an additional spanner being thrown into his crumbling engine of mass destruction.Ī spanner that happens to be especially adept at killing from afar and being able to improvise his way out of death traps. And by beautiful, I mean that it’s kind of rad to see Hitler’s war machine being smashed apart by the combined Allied forces who are busy moving in for the kill.
