    it was in this game that the "camera showing the x-ray" appeared for me until today this game is magnificent! The replay factor is incredible, so much so that every once in a while I download this game to play again. An amazing game but with a very short campaign. It's so satisfying and exciting to get a headshot and see the bullet shatter the skull.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ммм, Sniper Elite V2, еще одна из моего в общем-то безоблачного. И снова довольно низкие оценки как от критиков, так и от игроков, говорящие, что они не оценили в полной мере достоинств игры. Итак, мы играем за американского снайпера, в последние дни Второй мировой (Великой Отечественной) заброшенного в Берлин. Могу ошибиться в последовательности, так как пишу по памяти, да и подробности не хочу приводить - все по впечатлениям. Мы должны вытащить перебежчика с немецкой стороны, убить нескольких высокопоставленных офицеров, уничтожить завод по производству ракет "Фау-2" (или подобных, более опасных) и в конце убить некоего главного злодея, немецкого ученого-перебежчика, который перешел на сторону Советов. Противники сменяются с фашистов в начале на фашистов и русских в середине и только на русских в конце, что выглядит странно в контексте союзничества. Нужно действовать по возможности скрытно, тихо убивая врагов ножом и оттаскивая подальше, обходить позиции противников, ставить растяжки, чтобы они погибали подальше от нас из-за своей глупости и т. д. Это было для меня самым тяжелым, так как действовать из темноты я не привык, а особые задания выполнялись только так, так что приходилось перезагружаться. Можно идти и другим путем, уничтожая танки выстрелом в бензобак, поднимая автоматы с патронами и гранаты у врагов. На нашей стороне всегда эффект неожиданности и время на подготовку, поэтому каждый уровень можно пройти быстро, ведь мы играем за снайпера, который стреляет точнее, чем кто бы то ни было в этой игре. Конечно, говоря о снайперской стрельбе, нельзя не упомянуть кинематографичные прострелы организма противников: череп, сердце, суставы, яички; длинный пролет пули в застывшем времени и пространстве, завершающийся неминуемой гибелью "скелета", хочется наблюдать снова и снова, ты выбираешь место подальше и поудобнее, жертвуешь стелсом, лишь бы совершить красивое убийство. Все главные казни ты производишь только так, и в конце - дальше следует спойлер - забираешься, пробиваешься на Брандербуржские ворота и завершаешь игру самым длинным выверенным выстрелом точно в голову цели, едущей в машине чуть ли не в километре от тебя. Эпично! Геймплей мне зашел. Что касается остального, а именно левелдизайна, графики и самой истории в истории, то эту игру стоит пройти хотя бы ради подробно воссозданного разрушенного Берлина конца войны; графика приятная для глаз, точно передает детали вроде казней, о которых я говорил выше, а также взрывы и горение; история мне нравится до момента, где русские опять становятся врагами, спасибо хоть винтовку Мосина дали, ну и сам сюжет отчасти бредовый, потому что такого снайпера с таким заданием просто не могло быть. Твердые 8 простреленных черепов из 10.… Expand

    É um jogo com uma história um pouco fraca, mas vale a pena tentar e se juntar a esse game, pois o mesmo tem uma jogabilidade "OK", mas tem características próprias que te prende de certa forma.

    The AI are pretty weird. They either move around like idiots or somehow instantly find out where you are out of nowhere and start shooting at you. It feels like V2 tries to be a stealth game, but stealth is nearly impossible in most situations which can become frustrating if you're trying to do missions unnoticed.    … Expand

    Un gioco davvero originale, terribilmente divertente da fare con gli amici ma anche piuttosto tecnico.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Parlando della versione originale, e quindi non della remastered, posso dire che tutt'ora (2020) il gioco graficamente rimane godibile, anche se non nasconde il tempo passato.
    L'audio invece è ottimo sia per la colonna sonora che per gli effetti, oltre ad avere una perfetta stereofonia (che in un gioco così è fondamentale).

    Nota dolente, soprattutto a causa degli anni passati dall'uscita del gioco, sono le animazioni. Queste risultano infatti un po' "legnose" e spesso i personaggi finiscono a bloccarsi in oggetti anche piccoli sparsi per la mappa. Inoltre è possibile scavalcare alcuni elementi premendo l'apposito tasto, ma non è ben chiaro per quali si possa fare e per quali no, finendo a volte per esporsi inutilmente.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Il gameplay è veramente il valore aggiunto di questo gioco, in quanto essendo basato sui cecchini sviluppa molto profondamente meccaniche collegate a questo aspetto.
    Partiamo col dire che il gioco è in terza persona, e si trae molto vantaggio dalla cosa perché si può osservare l'ambiente senza sporgersi.
    Inoltre, per quanto siano presenti anche mitra e pistole, questi fungeranno da armi secondarie o terziarie, risultando imprecise e utili solo in certe situazioni.
    I fucili di precisione invece propongono diverte funzioni. I mirini hanno varie fasi di zoom, si può trattenere il fiato, si può usare un binocolo per "taggare" i nemici, ci si può riparare dietro agli oggetti e la stamina infinita è compensata dall'incremento del battito cardiaco (che penalizza notevolmente la mira).

    Il gioco dà il meglio di sé nel multiplayer, che può essere PvP o coop.

    In Pvp sono presenti le classiche modalità Deathmatch, Cattura la bandiera e Uccisione confermata (che possono essere fatte sia a squadre che in tutti contro tutti), oltre alla Re della distanza (sia team che solo).
    Mi è capitato di giocare a Sniper Elite V2 con altri 5 amici ed è davvero divertentissimo, solo limitato da uno scarso numero di mappe (una decina) e di armi (3 per ogni categoria, ma con i DLC possono aumentare).
    Per quanto riguarda le mappe devo dire che sono quasi tutte bellissime (magari non tutte adatte ad ogni modalità), adatte ai cecchini ma senza postazioni nettamente migliori di altre, il che le rende equilibrate. Inoltre sono grandi ma mai dispersive, cosa che invece avviene in Sniper Elite 3.
    Avrei preferito solo qualche mappa in più, visto che comunque durante la campagna e le missioni coop sono presenti anche altre location.

    Le modalità Coop invece sono davvero originali, ma purtroppo si possono fare solo in 2 giocatori.
    C'è una modalità tipo "zombie" di Call of Duty ma contro soldati, una modalità in cui bisogna raccogliere oggetti in varie postazioni nemiche e riportarli alla propria base (con difficoltà crescente nel tempo) e una modalità in cui un giocatore usa il fucile di precisione e aiuta l'altro giocatore che è in strada solo col mitra e deve completare degli obiettivi.
    Modalità davvero bellissime ma è un peccato che siano solo per 2 giocatori, almeno quella di sopravvivenza poteva essere da 4, e che abbiano davvero pochissime mappe (4/5 per modalità, di cui alcune che non sono nella modalità PvP non so come mai).

    STORIA:
    La campagna l'ho giocata secoli fa e me la ricordo poco, però è quella classica per uno sparatutto. Piacevole ma soprattutto perché è originale lo stile di gioco.

    In conclusione, il gioco ora si può comprare a meno di 3€, da soli non è particolarmente divertente ma se si ha un amico con cui fare le Coop o, ancora meglio, qualche amico in più con fare le PvP il divertimento è assicurato.

    I really liked the outfits of the enemies there was some variety and looked pretty accurate for their period but unfortunately the AI of the enemies was atrocious, those were the most retarded, blind and idiotic enemies you can fight against.
    The story was dull and nothing interesting happens so there is no point in discussing it.
    The gameplay was fun but after the first hour it gets so boring and tedious that you will wish to play another game that has at least a decent amount of variety and changes.
    I suggest buying this game on a discount and playing it when there is literally nothing and i mean NOTHING else to play.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Snipers always got me interested in FPS gaming, therefore a "sniper elite" game had everything to amuse me. It kinda did, actually; ballistic physics is super cool, good draphics and and kinda interesting missions.
    But the game doesn't really fly. The AI is extra stupid. "kill one guy somewhere his friend sees the body 'hey there's a body over there', come to check 'bang' another the dead this one's buddy sees the body 'hey i found a body' repeat".
    you can't even go full stealth because they are so dumb they'll end up doing the most dumb ridiculous thing and find you, ironically.
    Not an aweful game, but not a really good one either.

    ps: the thrill of the last bullet you'll shot in it is pretty good    … Expand

    To be honest, Sniper Elite V2 (I have the Steam version) isn't bad as stated by the reviews. Sure the game can be arcadey at times, but it's still enjoyable to play.

    If you play the campaign on normal, it can maybe be finished in 5.8 hours depending if you are good at the game or rush through the missions (it has 11 missions).

    The arcade feel would be best described in which the whole game is all crouch based movement. If you try to run, the enemy can hear you miles away. You have you stay crouched or else you will be heard (this is kinda stupid in my opinion). If Snipers are looking the other way, they immediately look towards you and shoot you. If there is a tank, they whip their barrel around in 1 millisecond staring right at you (which is not normal for real tanks) and they will mostly shoot at you in a first glance. But once you get a 2 kill one shot (collateral kill) bullet cam, get a grenade bullet cam (where you shoot a grenade on the guy's body and the guy explodes) or even timing your sniper shot to a background explosion to kill an enemy in silence is really truly satisfying. A small annoyance with the game is the looting. Sometimes your character will loot a weapon which you don't want him to pick up, you only just want the ammo.

    Other than that, the game is fine to play, the game runs great and the graphics are decent. I guess anyone who likes this type of stealth style game will like it and enjoy themselves.    … Expand

    I've only played the game in Cadet mode because I wanted to go up to the end. I found the game somewhat in between Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Call of Duty, without the frantic pace.

    Actually, the balance between sniping and stealth is pretty good in easy mode. But the medium range shooting is not that rewarding since it is much harder to aim. (For a game about elite riflemen, it's quite unexpected).

    I loved the recreation of the cities destroyed by the bombing, and especially the multiple paths to sneak around enemies. Otherwise, the levels are pretty linear, with long parts without enemies.

    The only element that eventually bored me was the camera and sometimes the aiming lag or follow through. I'm used to tight controls between the mouse and the aiming, and this was disturbing during all the game.

    Nevertheless, the developers did a good (not great) job recreating the unusual gameplay of the sniper, and that's the promise of game. So good work, Rebellion!    … Expand

    Sniper Elite V2, a sequel to Sniper Elite is developed by Rebellion Developments, this sniper action/stealth game is one I did not expect, it is a great WWII video-game, based on the Nazis trying to create the V2 rockets to destroy England, France and the rest of Europe.

Kind of like No One Lives Forever (where you have to locate someone or shoot somebody) but in the times of Hitler and World War II (WWII), the graphics are fantastic, the music is very good, the voice acting on both the English side and German side is great and it is satisfying game, especially when you snipe someone and the camera focuses on the bullet piercing through the bodies of the enemy. It is so satisfying, kind of makes me feel like I am playing Shadow Warrior with the katana, but this time it is a deadly sniper. Overall it is a great game, some glitches and dumb AI here and there but overall it is a great game to play. Especially now since it is free for 24 Hours! (04/06/2014)

    Although I haven't played the Co-Op side of the game, when I do get the chance I will edit this review again!

    The Multiplayer kinda put me of, with is bad servers, crashing all the time, lag, and bugs that are ridiculous, I kind of felt put off, now you might say "Oh, but it might be your Internet", please be rest assured that I pay for the best internet my ISP (Internet Service Provider) can provide, now if the ISP is lying to me and I am not getting the best internet on offer, then I can understand, other games like Battlefield 3 by EA Games and Primal Carnage by Lukewarm Media, I can run the perfectly with little to no lag at all, and I am kind of dissapointed that the servers on Sniper Elite V2 are not the greatest

    BUT, if you want a game that makes you feel satisfied in killing Nazis and set in the WWII era and includes a side of sniper action and stealth, then this is the game for you    … Expand

    Many better shooters out there, where you can assume a sniper's role as well. What does V2 have to counter-offer? Had it followed another path, with more emphasis on stealth and the preparation of the shot, it could have made a difference, as a game of another subgenre. [July 2012]
