If that level of realism isn’t appealing, you can adjust the settings if you prefer the bullet to land in the middle of your crosshairs each time. Your trusty rifle feels like it should leading shots, compensating for bullet drop, and holding your breath are all part of the game’s entertaining attention to detail.
When you’re not trotting around in third-person, you’re staring down your scope. I consider myself wholly desensitized to video game violence, but some of these kills made my stomach twitch a bit. Watching testicles explode and skulls shatter may be a bit much if you’re a little squeamish. Watching a bullet blast through a Nazi’s rifle scope and the eye peering through it is a brutal and satisfying reward for lining up the perfect shot. Sniper Elite V2’s standout feature is the slow motion, Mortal Kombat-style x-ray kill shots.
Luckily, it’s a pretty capable World War II sniping game to boot. Sniper Elite V2 is a game for such sadists, with some of the most grisly kills I’ve ever enjoyed in a game. We’re the ones that clap when a horror movie slasher tears into its teenage victim or laugh when some poor sap’s head explodes into pink mist in a first-person shooter.
