Stack it up against either of the sequels that came after and parts of the game are still pretty rough. In additional to stunning new 4K support you also get all of the previously released DLC, a new photo mode to snap grisly pics of your favorite x-ray kill cam shots, some new playable characters along with seven multiplayer modes and co-op support for the entire campaign.ĭespite some remarkable improvements in various aspects of the visual presentation, Sniper Elite V2 still shows its age, but that’s not to say the game isn’t stunning, but only when compared with its former self. It’s worth noting that owners of the existing game can get this remastered upgrade for only $10 and rookie snipers can buy into the full Sniper Elite V2 experience for only $35. When I learned the game was being remastered for modern day tech I was very interested in seeing how this game would (or could) hold up after almost a decade of competition and even two direct sequels within its own franchise.
At the time I found the game enjoyable, and despite having a few game gimmicks, offered a reasonably challenging and realistic sniping experience with an interesting self-insertion into WWII historical events. Seven years ago last week (to the day) I wrote and posted my original review for Sniper Elite V2.
