Sniper Elite V2 Remastered was reviewed on a Hisense U7A 4K ULED TV. Sniper Elite 4 is a better game, but if you’ve burned through the more recent iterations of this franchise and want to jump back to the front-lines of WWII, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is definitely worth picking up, especially at a lowered price of R549. While V2 is a unique game in it’s own right, it’s hard not to have the discussion whether one should just buy Sniper Elite 4 instead of this, especially given it’s lower price-tag at this stage in time. For the most part, it does work, but there will be those odd scenarios where your sneaky strategy is ruined by a moment of superhuman AI. Enemies’ vision paths remain somewhat inconsistant, whereby an enemy quite a distance away will spot you around a corner, whereas some will walk straight past you without a blink.

Of course, besides shooting members of the Third Reich, there’s a whole bunch of planting bombs, stabbing, and espionage-ing you need to do, and during stealth sections, this is sometimes where the game does show it’s age a little. The layout and design of the levels haven’t changed, but having the crisper, clearer draw-distance and sharper enemy models also help for the long-range shooting that you’ll be spending most of your time doing.Ĭontent wise, Sniper Elite V2 got a fair bit of downloadable add-ons, so you’ll get this all from the get-go with the remastered edition, including the fun yet difficult ‘Assassinate the Führer’ mission where you attempt to blow Hitler’s wig off, three additional challenge levels, and a bunch of new character skins, if you feel like ole Karl needs a break from the action. The greatest changes can be seen on the protagonist Karl Fairburne himself, with his clothing, gear, and movements being far more detailed. You must aid key scientists keen to defect to the US, and terminate those who would help the. Sniper Elite V2 polished things up and added the now series. Parachuted into Berlin amidst the Germans’ final stand, your mission is to prevent Nazi V2 rocket program technology from falling into the hands of the besieging Red Army. Sniper Elite might have been ahead of its time, with the open(ish) world allowing players to take multiple routes to objectives and choose whether to use stealth or go in guns blazing, and the ability to tailor the gameplay to be as difficult as you’d like. It’s a confusing timeline to say the least, but what baffles us even.
