I take the body from the bottom of the stairs and bring it to the top of the stairs. At this point they funnel their way into the trap, and it goes off. This is where I run back up to the platform and fire off some more, this sends the bulk of those enemies near me to rush to my location. Now, I fire off some rounds from my machine gun, which of course will trigger the enemies to come find me. Now I have three trip mines placed and a booby-trapped guy above me that's by a doorway.

I then turn left again on the landing and go down and repeat the process.

Afterwards, I then turn to go down the stairs to the landing and put another trip mine at the bottom of the stairs. I then move down the hall and place a trip mine at the end. Then I move the body to a doorway and set a booby trap on it with a land mine. Maneuver your way behind a random guard (who provides some of the weirdest movement patterns I've ever seen) and silently take them down. Let's say you're at the top of a multi-level building and that there are hallways and stairs between you and your goal down below in the extract location. You start to feel that the missions become all about shooting, but then again, you are a sniper, right? This mundane trudging through the various missions means that you have to get creative to stay interested, that's where the fun begins. Then the very next level, you do the same, and then again and again. For instance, one mission you have to fight your way to a vantage point where you snipe the main bad guy and then have to run away to the extract location. Sadly, though this game's story misses its target for one simple reason, the inability to vary the mission platforms. That's not saying it's bad, considering this game was one of the first entries to do it, so being almost the original counts for something here. Let's see how things shape up.įor starters the plot behind V2 is essentially the same that you experience in every single other Sniper Elite game. Like a sniper, this remastered V2 has one shot to hit its mark.

Having done the review for V4, I was anxious to dive in and see what was behind this new remaster that warranted a $39.99 price tag. Originally, Sniper Elite V2 launched way back in 2012 on the Xbox 360, but now has been given the 'Remastered' treatment in an attempt to bring this dated experience to be on par with what would arguably be considered the best release of the series so far, Sniper Elite V4. Over the past 10 years, the Sniper Elite series of games have tried to establish a new level of production when it comes to being a one man army that's tasked with herculean efforts to stop a war.
