User Rating: 8 | Sniper Elite V2 PC
The considered pace holds an intensity rarely found in a marketplace obsessed with the frenetic. Creeping through the blasted streets of 1945 Berlin, locating the ideal sniper's nest and booby-trapping its perimeter before settling in to await the perfect shot is a captivating trial-and-error experience. The smarter-than-usual plot about capturing V2 scientists as part of the real-life US Operation Paperclip also helps the game to rise above the sum of its parts.

Equally, little touches, such as waiting for loudspeaker announcements to echo across an enemy camp and hide the sound of your devastating rifle, add an enjoyably dark wit to most missions.

it feels like to be a sniper behind enemy lines in World War II. Like sitting in a church tower, picking off enemy soldiers one at a time, and masking rifle shots to coincide with bombs dropping in the distance, or landing a well-placed shot on an enemy tank's fuel tank, sending it up in flames.

Sadly, it still feels a little more like revisiting a great old game rather than being thrilled by a brand new one.
