Sniper Elite V2: Painting walls with brains since May 1, 2012

I don't think words can adequately describe how deeply satisfying I find this game to be. The moment of lining up a perfect long distance shot, watching that single bullet fly some 200 odd meters and then blow chunks of a man's skull around the room behind him. There is nothing to compare it to. All I have to say on the subject is... Eat your heart out SAW, I found a new outlet for my gore driven urges.

"Clean up on vertebrae 4."
Sniper Elite V2's story puts you in command of an elite sniper set in Berlin in an attempt to... something  rockets, something Russians. The fact of the matter is that if you're playing this game for the story you came to the wrong party. The straight shit is that you're a dude with a gun that can shoot bullets very far away with incredible accuracy, and also it's amazing to turn brains into brain pudding. Anything else is clearly irrelevant to how the game is meant to be enjoyed.

"Nothing can save you now.... I will not be gentle."

The game has a pretty good set of options in terms of graphical customization. Even on a mid line PC it's smooth and pretty on a low setting.The audio in the game is top notch, from the sound of enemies shouting commands in the distance to the kick and reload of your bolt action rifle. With the addition of responsive and well tuned controls, the game delivers a very tight and impressive experience of making peoples insides be on the outsides.


I don't even feel like I need to brag this game up. The screenshots should speak for themselves. There really isn't a whole lot to add to what's going on here. Each mission gives you a variety of objectives but the ones that you're really going to be looking forward to are the parts where you get to use gun on man. If you're not entirely sold on this yet the game allows you to play the entire single player campaign cooperatively as well as 3 other cooperative game modes with a number of maps. As if the game wasn't good enough on its own, now you can bring a friend along to the slaughter or take them out if you're more interested in the Deathmatch/Team Deathmatch multiplayer modes.

"I don't mean to make light of your situation Sir, but I have a raging murder boner right now."





I can't stress enough how fun this game is. Even more so if you've got a buddy to pull along for the ride. It's a must buy, no questions asked. If you're still sceptical there is even a demo out. There is literally no excuse not to at least try this game out. Go play it. Now.

Weevils out~
