Sniper Elite 2

I missed the announce for this. Xbox Sniper Elite was AMAZING.

The only way they could make the sequel more tense (without resorting to electrical USB (or mains?) powered plugins) is to have it pay-per-life with a limit of one life per day (after an initial training session).

Due in April 2012 from 505 games.

Don't give them ideas!

I'd play it.

"Insert virtual 50p"

[presses OK]

"Press start"

[crawls to trench]

[pokes head out]

"Game over. Use the mirror on a stick tomorrow"

Dark Souls as an FPS?

I still own this for the PS2.

One of my fave games of the last gen. It makes Ghost Warrior look even worse than what it is, but thats not hard to do I guess.

Anybody tried the Wii version that comes with an actual (plastic) sniper rifle?

[SuperDanX]

What formats is this on?

[Brad]

Is this the same as the PC games? Sniper Elite 1945 is $4 on gog.com at the moment

This is a new game for Xbox/PS3 only. Not on PC.

Wooohoooo!

I loved Sniper Elite too. Got it for the Xbox 1 Xmas & ended up wasting the whole day playing it cos I got so sucked into the game .
Ghost Warrior was alright to fill the void, but this is great news.

Good idea with the death idea too charlesr. Wasnt Kojima thinking of doing summat similar with the Metal Gear franchise at 1 point?

Yeah I loved the original Xbox game. People who love quick scoping in COD should look at it for a reference of why real sniping is cool.

Will this have multiplayer as well?

Just wondering...have been looking out for the original of this (on the cheap) on the XB for a while...seems the PS2 version is a *lot* easier to source, though I've held off picking it up because I've heard the Xbox version is the 'ultimate' one to get.

Is there really such a massive gulf between the two versions, or is the PS2 version an acceptable enough way to enjoy the game - I know the Dual Shock 2's pretty scabby when it comes to fine-tuning analog aiming but is this a dealbreaker?
