There already exist a few ways to dispatch Nazi guards and make their deaths appear to be terrible accidents, such as shooting precariously suspended crane loads when the enemy are within radius or blowing up parked military trucks etc. My only gripe is where I feel Sniper Elite could have borrowed more heavily from the Hitman series. The physics are reliable and bullet drop over distance etc all seem quite believable. The action can be intense - especially on harder difficulties and there are a weath of hidden challenges to complete. Set in WW2 Italy the environments are lush with lots of details and continuous game flow as you move around - no loading sections during play. This the fourth outing of the living sniper Elite versions is the largest yet - with huge maps and multiple objectives. I confess I was a fan of the first game which came some time ago and I really do enjoy Zombie Army Trilogy - by the same makers although in that iteration it's you killing the undead nazis - sort or a paradox then.
