You can leave this one where it lies. Man, who in their right mind greenlit a sequel to this? I mean I'm thankful because I adore the ensuing series, but good god.

Envejecio muy mal, es un juego con un esquema de controles muy raro y parece que en vez de caminar, el personaje patina.

Joguei muito com meu pai esse jogo no PS2... Sim, a franquia sniper elite começou com um jogo que dava pra jogar cooperativo local olha que top né? Não sei pq tiraram isso do game! Mas enfim, nunca cheguei a zerar ele mas eu joguei bastante e me divertia muito vendo os efeitos câmera lenta, peguei paixão por essa franquia graças a essa pérola do PS2

9/10

Commander, press ";" to open your inventory and select the time bomb by navigating using "Arrow Key Left" and "Arrow Key Right" to move horizontally, and "PageUp" and "PageDown" to move vertically.

Once you select the item, wind up the seconds timer by pressing "F6" and "F7" to add and subtract time. The same applies for the minute timer but with "F9" and "F10" instead. If you press "F8" the bomb immediately blows up.

After setting up the timer, press "Shift + Delete" to place the time bomb and "Ctrl + ñ" to activate it. After that, press "Print Screen" 300 times or else the game crashes.

The future of our nation relies on you, good luck.

Tried playing it 2 days ago. I didn’t like the controls that much.


Çıkış tarihi itibariyle oynanış çok eski ve hantal. Eski savaş oyunlarının atmosferine ilginiz varsa sevebileceğiniz bir oyun. Lakin ben oynanışa alışamadım.

Lo recuerdo como un juegazo. Era muy divertido y también muy difícil. Lo pasé en modo cooperativo, pantalla dividida con mi prima. Éramos adictos a este juego y en la última misión del aeropuerto, logramos el tiro más largo de 1.024 metros. En esa época no existían los logros, pero nos sentimos realizados cuándo lo logramos, ya que nos costó MUCHOS MUCHOS intentos.

Played this as a kid, remember it as a pretty fun game, so it's a win in my book

Well, I am disappointed.

There is a bug after bug in the game. Other than that, I played on Sniper Elite difficulty. I really had to replay two or three episodes again because of some bugs.

Artificial Intelligence is terrible. Sometimes they can't shoot you even though you're in front of them, but they headshot you with an MG or SMG style weapon from sniper distance. As if that wasn't enough, they already know your place. Guided grenades are a different matter. It made me laugh that the German tank and the Russian tank passed without firing even though they could see each other. It is also a pleasure to be shot in the cut scane part (!)

There is no logic in missions. I witnessed especially incredible comedy events. I think what I should explain is here. They were all disasters.

It's a backward game in many respects, even for its time. It can be taken to see how the Sniper Elite series starts, but I do not recommend it.

My overall rating: 6/10

The oppressive atmosphere created from the clunky controls, hard Stealth and early Hitman game design is excellent. Karl can barely walk cause of enemies camouflaged in the distance, his low health and delay to change weapons isn't suited for close direct combat and forces the players to move slowly, observant and always afraid. Therefore, Sniper Elite has a great game loop, going from high and low dangerous areas, the game rewards the player in the best way possible, with rest, as now you can save peacefully and progress towards the next objective.

Unremarkable by todays standards and there's not really a reason to play it with the newer games building upon the same and polishing everything up, but if you're like me, you like to see where things begin.

Sniper Elite is a mission based shooter where you're.. well, a sniper, but you're mostly "in the ground" rather than high up on buildings, looking through a roof or a window, like in V2.

While basic in execution, Sniper Elite features most if not all of the core mechanics in future entries. Shooting at tank's gasoline.. uh.. tanks(?), slowmo of the bullet hitting an enemy, and setting up traps to kill your enemies without you being there.

The Stealth system barely exists, but it is there. Barebones, but it is there!
Overall, unremarkable but not bad.

A pretty rough mission-based shooter. It was okay, but nothing great.
