    sound and stillness of the game is what i love about this particular video game the graphics on the game are better than average but the most aluring about this game is the pink mist that you see after a head shot is priceless every shot is what you live for in this game good work Rebelion with this ww2 master peice.

    Wow, what a challenging game!! The sound, weapons, and all around graphics were awesome. I just want to know if they will come out with a second one or at least a sniper game that is just or more challenging?

    Absolutely excellent game - compared to the tedious repetition of Call of Duty and Medal of Honour etc this is a breath of fresh air. I love FPS games, especially when I get a sniper rifle eg Halo, FarCry etc so this is manna from heaven. A really clever game - watching a bullet fly across a square from my hiding place to hit the enemy never gets boring. Every "kill" is a thrill (and no, I am not a psycho) - the strategy employed to outflank the enemy, the need to calculate variables to get an accurate shot and the timing to avoid being detected makes for such a satisfying experience. The gameplay is also very varied - you can use heavy machine guns and charge about if you like. The graphics are hardly xbox360 standard, but are fine - as for being muddy, that is part of the camo experience. The sound is excellent. Overall I agree with the top formal review - this is the best WW2 experience on a console.… Expand

    Sniper Elite is simply the best World War 2 game I've ever played, period. I am playing it right now with my roommate in a co-op mode and it's totally awesome. The whole post war atmosphere, the music, the graphics, the sound effects, and most importantly addicting gameplay are all there. I would strongly recommend anyone to check this game out; it's definitely a jewel of gamming. Sniping is just awesome: my personal best record is 305 yard head shot (I had to aim about 6 notches above the targets head just to hit him)… Expand

    Sniper Elite makes headshots a grizzly reward that becomes addictive and, because the battle is always weighted against you, filled with air-punching satisfaction every time you make a connection. Bravo. [Nov 2005, p.96]

    What lies beneath its rather unspectacular veneer is a really well designed game that approaches the conflict from a different angle and provides a solid platform for a hugely entertaining game.

    The less patient and more action-oriented gamers might not warm to it so much, but if you're the kind of gamer that enjoys the chance to get a good sniping spot on your favourite online shooter, then this really is one game you must play.
