Avis sur le produitSniper Elite (Sony PlayStation 2, 2005)

Sniper sim, learn to set up the shot, not a run and gun

niper Elite is not for everyone. If you are looking for a "run and gun" style shooter, then this is not the game for you. This, is a thinking man's shooter, which is good and bad.

The thinking part of the game plays out when you have to covertly position yourself (translated: a lot of crawling) in a strategic firing location and then make adjustments to your aim considering factors like gravity (adjust for bullet drop), your heart rate, wind, etc. There is a lot of front work that goes into taking just one shot.

Oh, but what a payoff! If you get all of your calculations right then you will be feasting on a buffet of single, double and even triple headshots! The best part of it is the "bullet cam". When you make an exceptional shot, the camera switches to a bullet cam that follows the bullet from muzzle to point of impact in satisfying albiet grizzly cinematic payoff for your effort.

The AI in the game can prove to add to your frustration as they are pretty good at flanking you after you reveal your location. The ensuing firefight is equally frustrating because as a sniper you are not well equipped for such an engagement and usually killed rather quickly.

Overall this is a solid game that offers something different from the glut of WWII and Vietnam wargames that are availble on the market.Lire l'avis complet...

Very good game

I like that you have take into account all of the natural surroundings with gravity, wind speed/direction, heart rate, and position. The bullet camera is one of a kind. This is the only game that I've played that had a bullet camera. The only couple of things that I didn't like was that when you compensate for gravity, you shouldn't have to aim two "notches" above the target at 100 yards. That's not realistic, especially with the rifles that you are using that are effective out to 1000 yards. You should only have to compensate for gravity out to distances of over 300 yards or so, that would be realistic. I also don't like that the german rifle used for this game is the G43, which is semi-automatic and not nearly as accurate as the Kar-98 mauser which should have been used instead of the G43. That last thing I don't like about this game is the story. It absolutely screwed up with you only killing the russians and that's only because your dressed as a german sniper. In the second mission, the russians are rolling around in Berlin with tank support from german tanks which makes no sense at all to me. Other than those couple of things this game is very fun to play. It would be awesome if someone could come out with another version or another game like this on playstation 3 or xbox 360 to see what the graphics would be like and the ballistics and everything.Lire l'avis complet...

Action packed and exciting FPS

This is a fairly rare title for the PS2 platform. It is not easy to find at gaming and video shops I frequent so when I spotted it on E-Bay I had to have it.

The action is fast paced and fun. When you use your scope and connect on a difficult shot the game responds by showing you the perspective of the shot just behind the bullet. You get to see the bullet as it travels and spins along the way to the target. Its sort of like the movie "The Matrix" if you recall how things slowed down when bullets were fired. You receive feedback on the distance of the shot in yards and of course you see exactly where the target was struck.

On the easy level, things are just that. Pretty easy. You can survive getting hit by the enemy and still play on though you definitely want to save your progress on most levels as it is time consuming to get killed and have to repeat certain things.

I like this game better than average. Playing two players is fun too but sometimes it is annoying to have to wait for the other guy to find you if you get seperated on the battlefield. The battlefield graphics are very good but the map function which you can switch to during combat to find your position is not all that useful in many of the scenarios. It's more or less a maater of intuition and keeping your eyes open for enemy troops and especially the enemy snipers who can be very good at popping out and shooting you if you're not stealthy.Lire l'avis complet...

Sniper Elite: Very good game for tactical-style players

This review is for the Playstation 2 version. I can't comment on the XBox game.
I play games mainly for the online experience, but single player is fun, too.
PRO's: Very tactical. You need to think before you move/shoot.
Graphics are pretty good, even online.
Great offline 2-player co-op, 8 player online with different game modes.
Easier to play than any SOCOM game.
CON's: Not many people know about this excellent game.
There aren't very many people online playing. BUY THIS GAME and
GET ONLINE NOW!!!
No headset/voice chat support online. Text talking is a pain to use.
I recommend this game for anyone who always grabs a sniper rifle while playing SOCOM or Battlefield 2: Modern Combat. It's like playing the sniper movie "Enemy at the Gates". If you like to stalk your prey, line up the perfect shot, then move to find your next victim, this game is for you. I hope more people pick it up and start playing it online. This is a great alternative to other WWII games and "twitch" style first person shooters. Look me up online: Blast4Me is my name.Lire l'avis complet...

Sniper Elite

I wanted this game as soon as I saw it, after playing a few minutes I loved it. The game works wonderfully, the shots react to gravity, wind and take skill to be good at. If you get noticed by enemies, they will react to anything you do, laying cover fire as one or two try to flank you. The good part is, you are also not restricted to a sniper rifle either, you get a silenced pistol, grenades, tnt and time bombs, and you can pick up a weapon from an enemy if needed for a close quarters combat situation. The enemy is incredibly hard, especially if you like going in guns blazing on the hardest mode (Sniper Elite).
Stealth and Shooting are a must, and the situations very. Missions range from meeting a contact in a war torn city, to assasinating a key leader, to helping your allies steal enemy tanks.
Plus, if you have played the Cabela's Big Game Hunter Game's, you will notice features like the camera following the bullet in slow motion for long range shots (pretty cool in a war game).
Overall this game has great gameplay and very good graphics, It's just sad that it's not that popular.Lire l'avis complet...

sniper elite review

sniper elite is a great ps2 game that takes place around world war 2. the game features a neat trick called a bullet cam that allows the play ( after making a good long range shot) to see from the perspective of the bullet. the game follows the flight of the bullet until it hits the target. two player action is great but the split screen (top and bottom) is a little cramped, also the replay value is a little low.Lire l'avis complet...

Stealth WWII Sniper Shooter

Excellent first person shooter game. You are sniper during WWII missions. Various weapons, but one used most is sniper rifle. Various levels can take into account distance, wind, and even heartbeat. Sentries and other soldiers react to your presence, so you have to stay low, and concealed. Taking an exceptional sniper shot follows the bullets path and shows the hit. Other weapons include silenced pistol, grenades, TNT, time bomb, and other german machine guns. Game runs on you being a stealth character, so often you are crawling, waiting, or otherwise concelaed, so don't look for a fat-paced action game, but if you want a talent-based, strategic game this is one of the best I have found. p.s. Check out Black too. That is the best shooter game, with more action than this, I have found so far. Cheers!Lire l'avis complet...

Sniper Elite (PlayStation 2, 2005)

In my opinion the best sniper games out to date. I absolutely love it. A mature, stealth thinking man’s game. They need to make a part 2 or revamp the original for the PS3. I have only played through a few missions. On the rookie mode but it is pretty hard. I’m doing a walkthrough of it then I plan on playing the sniper elite difficulty. The graphics are good not great. There are some minor mistakes that others have pointed out like The Russians having German tank support when they are opposing forces. There are also issues with the guns and the way they operate, not very real world like. Despite these flaws I give it a five out of five. On a side note xbox360 and pc gamers can look up a game called Sniper: Ghost Warrior, due out later this year. I really hope it comes to ps3.Lire l'avis complet...

Sniper elite

This game is fun and exciting. Great game overall, graphics are excellent and I love the bullet camra and x-Ray of the bullet impact. Missions were challenging and keep you wanting more and more play time. My husband and I play this game over and over.Lire l'avis complet...

Sniper Elite Ps2

I have to give this game a "good" 4/5 rating..Have enjoyed the game very much, however I was looking for more of an undercover long range type shooter game..this game does have levels that are true to that such as the "cathedral" or "train station" areas..but there is alot of crawling about close-up type of shooting..I thought the graphics are overall great, but again there is some instances of blocky images with some clipping..all that being said I still give this games "two guns up" for originality and playability with replay value quite high!Lire l'avis complet...
