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...

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.

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 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.

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...

After the fighting in Berlin with their plans for the v2 rocket thwarted, the Axis forces gather in Africa. The Allied forces must root out the Axis foot holds for control of Africa. It's sniper time...........

It's my best shot so far. Right through the eyes of an unsuspecting German soldier, and shown in full sniper-porn-o-vision. Skull shards fly. Grey matter explodes. I thought I was getting bored of Sniper Elite III's exquisitely medical killcam, but that shot was definitely worth watching.

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.

If there is one thing that Shooting games have always needed, it's more graphic violence. Well, at least, that's apparently the premise behind Sniper Elite III, the latest instalment in Rebellion Developments' tactical shooting series.
