SNIPER ELITE 4 IGN REVIEW FREE

Most matches devolved into nobody moving until the timer ran out. I found that waiting around to get a kill was much less interesting when the targets knew I was after them. ItРІР‚в„ўs exactly like single player, except now there are two of you!Р”В¬ompetitive multiplayer isnРІР‚в„ўt quite as good. It was incredibly tough to find a match pre-release, but hopefully once the game is out in the wild, thereРІР‚в„ўll be enough players to join in with.Р”В¬o-op is easily the pick of the multiplayer offerings, letting you and a friend team up and take on each level however you like. Of sport instead of murder.Р”Р„side from the campaign, thatРІР‚в„ўll keep you busy for at least a dozen hours, Sniper Elite 4 comes complete with co-op and multiplayer.

I started to think of Sniper Elite more as a game of golf. It adds to the satisfaction of lining up a perfect shot from 400m away to watch the full-scale damage of the bullet as it travels through the targetРІР‚в„ўs head, ricochets off his helmet and travels through his buddyРІР‚в„ўs intestines. The kill cam is incredibly gruesome, incredibly detailed and incredibly disturbing but I canРІР‚в„ўt look away. Not because it was funny, but because I didnРІР‚в„ўt know what other reaction to have. IРІР‚в„ўd starting to worry that IРІР‚в„ўm a bit of a psychopath after playing.Р”В®very time I shot off a NaziРІР‚в„ўs jaw, saw his eyeballs explode (or his testicles for that matter), shredded his lungs, smashed his bones to pieces or even watched as shrapnel from a grenade or mine tore through his fragile body I laughed. Then again, just being there was pretty damn good in its own right, so who am I to complain? Sniper EliteРІР‚в„ўs most infamous feature - x-ray death cam - is back with a vengeance in Sniper Elite 4.

I never felt like anything I did needed to be done. I felt a bit lost while playing, sort of just wandering about, killing enemies and moving on. Look, having a game that takes a while to complete is obviously not a bad thing, and playing Sniper Elite 4,Р’В I definitely enjoyed myself, itРІР‚в„ўs just that being open-world removes some of the immediacy. Crank it up and youРІР‚в„ўre going to be spending a lot of time in Italy. If youРІР‚в„ўre a completionist though, youРІР‚в„ўre looking at closer to 2 or 3 hours per mission. The non-linearity helps confound the issue.Р’В You can probably complete each of the eight missions in an hour a piece of you fly through and donРІР‚в„ўt worry about collectibles. Sure, theyРІР‚в„ўre pretty and the views are occasionally breathtaking, but when the pace is already so glacial, having to spend lots of time travelling to the next area with enemies can become tedious. ItРІР‚в„ўs true that the levels are large and open, but itРІР‚в„ўs also true that much of these levels are just empty.

YouРІР‚в„ўre free to go where you want, when you want and do whatever you want. Rebellion has worked hard to remove restrictions from its fourth visit to World War II and has largely succeeded. Each mission comes with a main objective and several optional ones which can be completed in any order and as you see fit. The sandbox levels are massive, in comparison to the linear levels of old, and lend themselves to Sniper EliteРІР‚в„ўs slow, deliberate pace. Moving the established framework of Sniper Elite has done wonders for the franchise.

ItРІР‚в„ўs not that it was bad, I just really couldnРІР‚в„ўt have cared less, but only because the gameplay was so good.

IРІР‚в„ўll be honest, the plot seemed like a very thin window dressing and IРІР‚в„ўd struggle to be able to tell you what actually happened. Set directly following the events of Sniper Elite 3, 4Р’В sees Fairburne tasked with getting behind enemy lines in Italy to assist the efforts of the resistance there against the Nazis. However, if youРІР‚в„ўre ok with seeing various body parts blown to smithereens, slow motion, x-ray vision footage of brains, hearts, lungs and even testicles eviscerated by rifle bullets and countless Nazis slaughtered in the name of freedom, then Sniper Elite 4 is definitely for you. By the same token, if youРІР‚в„ўre not a fan of gratuitous violence and graphic gore, you might want to give this one a wide berth. If you enjoy subtlety, then Sniper Elite 4 probably isnРІР‚в„ўt the game for you.
