Its AI is still the village idiot but there's still plenty of fun to be had here regardless. Put up with its niggles and you'll get your money's worth.

Sniping enemies is immensely satisfying; Huge; sprawling stages with multiple paths; Delightfully grotesque slow-mo X-ray killcams

AI can be a bit "see no evil; hear no evil; Detection is too harsh; evasion too forgiving; Lack of melee attack makes for sloppy close-up combat

I'll keep this short and sweet- If you haven't yet played the second game, buy that one for cheaper. It is essentially the same as this one, except that you are fighting in Germany instead of Africa. Mechanics, controls, AI, bugs- it's all the exact same in V2.

Whenever I wasn't setting up a shot, emptying my lungs, and pumping a sharp metal bullet through the thick skull of an unsuspecting enemy soldier, I was frustrated with Sniper Elite III.

Devilishly satisfying slow-mo kills; Level design that encourages creativity; Colorful vistas are impressively improved over previous iterations

Dull stealth sequences; Uninspired story; Broken matchmaking

Sniper Elite 3 is rough around the edges and lacks the polish that you would expect from a next-gen game. But underneath it all is a decent campaign, co-op missions and an extensive multiplayer that nearly makes up for its flaws.

I have never played any of the Sniper Elite games until now. This one, while good, requires some more polishing to be a really good/great game. However, with updates and patches, greatness could be achieved! I've played Sniper: Ghost Warrior and Sniper: Ghost warrior 2.

Sniper Elite III features both competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes, allowing would-be snipers to decide whether they want to work together or against one another. For those who want to take on other snipers, the game allows up to 12 players to fight competitively against one another in...

Sniper Elite III (SE3) isn't what we think of as a good game. It betrays almost everything we've come to understand about what makes a game good. There's no consistency in the way it presents its world through gameplay, it almost deliberately teaches you how to play it wrong, the story it tells is...

As a sniping game, Sniper Elite III is pretty fun. The kill cams are brutal, but you won't be able to look away, and it's hard to fault hitting a man between the eyes from across the map.

+ Sniping is fun; + Spacious maps; + Kill cams

+ Horrendous AI, + Obviously cross-gen, + Boring story, + Mentionign the AI once isn't enough; Awful

With how popular sniping is, it's really surprising how few games there is based around killing from afar. Still, when it comes to military shooters, it's the Call of Duty mould that most developers seem to strive for, which makes series' like Sniper Elite all the more welcome, as it's a series that...

I'll admit that I was a little skeptical going into Sniper Elite III. I've never been a big fan of military shooters and I'll often go out of my way to avoid video game sniping. But despite my numerous hang-ups, the ultra-violent sequel instantly won me over and left me eager for more.
