When chances arise to take out multiple enemies at once or string together an elaborate distraction plan, this is where Sniper Elite shines and shows off what it should do more. Whilst many of them see you planting explosives and retrieving packages in forgettable street settings, there are moments of something greater when you have to infiltrate an explosives compound or make your way through a bomb-stricken church. The shortcomings with the save system are relieved every now and again when a satisfying set-piece crops up within the otherwise bland set of missions. This wouldnвЂ™t be such a problem if you were reloading because of your own mishaps or negligence but most of the time a reload will be forced because of the AIвЂ™s sensitivity of detecting a threat but more of that later on. One save could see you restarting halfway through a mission whilst another might send you all the way back to beginning. Your progress is marred somewhat by the unreliable checkpoint system which will either save your game periodically or not at all and nowhere in between. There are missions where radio transmissions, church bells and bombing runs will all mask any noise you make from your weapon which is a neat little feature.

To some extent it does anyway there is more than one way to take down a street full of soldiers, whilst a lot of environmental help will also creep into your methods. So as youвЂ™d expect from a title that is keen to let you kill your enemies in your own way, Sniper Elite does exactly that. Much like James Bond he has a licence to kill anyone he sees on his way, Russians included, even though they helped the allies throughout the war, and heвЂ™s just as cold hearted when it comes to dispatching them as well as the remaining Nazi forces. Why? Because he is trying to kill the scientists behind GermanyвЂ™s devastating V2 bombs before the Russians can get their hands on them. Nothing much has really changed from the past two titles though as protagonist, Karl Fairburne, is on the same mission as before which sees him infiltrating Germany in the last few days of WWII. Yes you read that right a remake only seven years later of a game that hardly anyone heard about.

The first title was seen on PS2 in 2005, whilst the second title launched on Wii in 2010 and now we see this remake of the first game on PS3, 360 and PC.

Sure we have had the occasional flutter in the form of Sniper: Ghost Warrior and the token gesture of a sniper level in your big-named First Person Shooter (FPS) but weвЂ™ve never had anything worth shouting home about.ДЇor the 99% of you reading this that are unaware of Rebellion DevelopmentsвЂ™ previous titles, going by the same Sniper Elite brand, then this is not the first title to be released boasting sniping entertainment in abundance. The problem is though that the gaming market is filled with metaphorical tumbleweeds when it comes to decent sniper titles heading our way. Patience, precision and proficiency the three pвЂ™s that you need in order to be a successful cold-hearted killer.
