Two words...BULLET CAM. Makes for an awesome gaming experience. This really is the best sniper game on the market. If you want a game where emphasis is placed on stealth and discreetness rather than a simple bang bang shoot 'em up, this is the game for you. You will not be disappointed.

Before I bought this game I was skeptical of the creator and of it being a let down of expectations being a sniper focused style of game. I could not be more wrong after playing it for only about 10 minutes. At first the controls and game play were new to me but once I got the concept it became very intuitive and smooth for my playing style. The campaign was a lot of fun and had some fairly challenging missions that, at times, needed a little of that tactical out of the box creative thinking to get passed certain parts or even survive.

After the campaign I was very excited to dip into the multiplayer and see if it would be as good as single player and hopefully better, and it was that and more. It keeps the same aspect of survival and tactical creativity as the campaign and is influenced more so by the opponents being real players. At first I found myself being overwhelmed and taken out easily but after a week my experience of gaming kicked in and I really took off.

All in all this is definitely worth $30 hands down...the Silver Star Edition is a must have as it includes a lot of cool stuff and extra weapons/side missions.

This game is a refreshing change of pace from other first-person shooters such as BF and COD (BF is more awesome :D) and the patience it takes to be great on the online battlefield is something that makes you feel more...idk how to describe it but...fulfilled, as a gamer.

I don't regret this purchase one bit...in fact this may be one of my favorite games of the past few years!

A great game for the PS3. The additional content makes the Silver Star Edition stand out even more than the regular version. Only thing about this I find unfair is I cannot give it 6 stars.

This game is an amazing effort. the graphics and sound are tight. The slow motion bullet cam of the bullet iinfliction massive wounds on the Germans is verceral fun ( I think they are Nazis) the Bonus DLC tucked away on this is nice too. Its unfortunate that the developers had to wash out all Nazi symbols. Its censored, Which does distance you from ;being there;

I'm still playing the game as of this writing meaning I have yet to finish it. Of what I played of the game so far, I can say that I like it more than Sniper Ghost Warrior part I, I never bought SGW P2 because it got too many bad reviews. (why do people come to the library & just blabber soo much about nothing, people using computers behind me are all talking about their kids & whatever who cares, go to Starbucks). So anyway, back to Sniper Elite. So the story, for those of you who don't know, is your an American Sniper during one of the World War's infiltrating Nazi Germany I think. Your job is to infiltrate areas & take out strategic targets, the common mission of the sniper. This requires lots of patience & waiting. Just like in real life, your not gonna go in & kill everyone & complete an objective right away, shots have to be timed & precise. It's a pretty good challenge. My only complaint of this game is the difficulty in killing some of the enemy's, for instance if you fire & your shot isn't exactly on target, it's almost like the enemy knows you've shot at him & ducks. Your mid sized weapon which if either the M1 or M40 is only effective at close range when by comparison, when enemy's are shooting at you with similar weapons, they hit even when your in the prone position at a distanced elevation they still get solid hits that can take you out. Your starting handgun, a Weld silenced sidearm, is only effective at point blank range almost. True to realism, your sniper rifle is without a doubt your best friend. Furthermore, I dont know how much vision soldiers had in those old World War tanks, but on this game, the tanks can see you & fire on you in varous locations, even when there's smoke & barely any light, it's almost like your wearing bright reflective gear & bells. Enemy snipers are able to locate you as soon as you enter an area, even if your sneak walking or crawling on your belly. When your looking back during bullet travel I know I'm like now how did that guy see me at this location? Key to staying alive is movement after shots, if you fire a shot & there's no background noise suppression like bells or whatever, then move right away because even if bad guys aren't in the immediate area, they will know where the shot came from. Overall, though i think the developer did a good job & if they're thinking of doing another then IMO I think the next sniper game should be of the Vietnam era, I dunno why one hasn't been made yet...
