 Gotta love this game! October 11, 2008
My dad and brother got me hooked on this game one day when I went over to their house. I ended up buying it and have been addicted ever since. It gets frustrating sometimes, especially during the cathedral level (as some have already mentioned) but the realism is outstanding. It makes you plan and think in order to survive. It's a little bit funny when your character is crawling around and 4 different weapons are strung across his back. I still think the level of detail is outstanding, especially when you're peering through your binocs.
The only downfall that I found was the fact that Namco/Rebellion didn't include System Link play in the software. This game is one of the best, if not the best, sniper games I have played, and it would have been even better if you didn't have to pay and sign up for Xbox live to play against someone on 2 different screens. It was funny that they still printed the availability of an option for System Link play in the game manual. All in all, I can see why this game still has such a high resell value, despite being released a few years ago. I would still buy it if they made a remake or a sequel for the 360. This game (along with Splinter Cell- Chaos Theory) are the reasons I still have my old Xbox!
 Sniper Elite not backwards compatible August 30, 2008
I bought sniper elite off amazon and the games looks like it could be a blast, but not on xbox 360. The game is 100% NOT backwards compatible and will not play on the xbox 360.
The Perfect Sniper Game August 26, 2008
This is a superb game, I have played the PC version through once and I really enjoyed the game. I am currently playing through the game again just because it is that enjoyable. It is not a true first person shooter, while moving you are in third person view, which is really a good thing because it gives you the ability to peak around corners without revealing yourself. This however isn't a big advantage because the enemy snipers will use a mirror to look around the corner to find you. This is the most incredible game dynamic I have ever run across and was shocked when I saw a guy do it. This game is as near perfect, for a sniper based game as I have ever seen. This puts other sniper games to shame, with ease.
Best Sniping Game out there! February 13, 2008
I played (completed) this on my PC, and am seriously thinking about buying an Xbox version. Read the other reviews, as they are pretty accurate. I love realistic sniping and this game offers it and more. I did the first levels on easy mode then progressively ramped it up and did `Elite' mode the last of the game for challenge. This game spoils you on what others don't offer--mainly choices on how to play (run-n-gun, snipe, silent, grenades & explosives). For stealth, set trip mines, then toss rocks to get guards to investigate and trip the mines (heh, heh). If a tank is giving you trouble, shoot it in the gas tank for an explosion, or toss a stick of dynamite, then snipe the dynamite for an explosion. Rifle every fallen enemy's clothes for extra `goodies'. The slo-mo bullet to the skull gimmick makes me laugh out loud every time, and is especially rewarding when it's a difficult shot to the head of a sniper on a roof that's been slowing `pecking' your health away. GREAT GAME!
 I thought it would be better. November 21, 2007
Although the concept is great, the game play isn't as fun as I thought it would be. The graphics aren't too great and the movement isn't very good either. The camera bucked too much a couple times while I was trying to center in on my target. It's alright though. I wish they'd improve more on the game. Like I said great concept. Could have been better.
