![]() ![]() Get the headshot and you’ll see it, it’s gruesome as hell, but oh so rewarding. The kill cam is almost a reward for an excellent shot. Of course, most will have seen the kill cams by now, some of which are long, some are short, but somehow it never gets old. ![]() Indoor areas are excellent too, creating tension at every corner with well placed enemy shadows and lighting. Character models are realistically done, environments that play host to Karl’s hiding spots are well designed and suitably rough around the edges to match the situation. GRAPHICS: On the whole, Sniper Elite V2 is a good looking game. Functional with some twists, the gameplay is the star but the story is most certainly engaging. The locations vary, meaning that most of the time the progression feels natural, though there are rarely examples where the narrative is fully fleshed out, most of the time the next level you’ll be in will be the place the previous level suggested you’d end up. Starting out in Berlin, the story quickly takes twists and turns to keep the player engaged at all times. STORY: Set during World War II, the player is cast as Karl Fairburne on his mission to apprehend, or kill, key Nazi scientists. It’s an interesting idea, rather than make a full-on sequel, they’ve remade the original game but added so much to it that it’s barely recognisable, but is it worth the discerning public’s hard earned cash? The gaming world has moved on quite a bit since then so Rebellion have decided to revisit their original title, bringing it back up to date with V2. The original Sniper Elite was released way back in 2005 and was reasonably well received. Available on: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC (Reviewed on PlayStation 3)
