    Pretty much this. Not bad for a game made by Rebellion, though.

    They also have Nier a 5.

    I still have to play the first Sniper Elite (I own it, but my first copy came bogged down with Starforce, and it fried my DVD-ROM, and my second copy (a Steam version) was purchased shortly before moving out of my parents place, making it unplayable (as I only own a netbook)). The demo was great though. Really captured what I felt sniping to actually be about (the patience needed to line up the prefect shot).

    I too can't wait to see how Shake reacts.

    Yeah,my bad,I never really payed much attention to the threads and was always under the impression it was about SGW2,for some reason I think I saw him hype the graphics of that one once and since then thought he was talking about SGW2 lol.
    Shows how much attention I pay to SW these days.

    well, my copy is in the post i should get it today hopefully. some of the other reviews on metacritic are more positive.

    I enjoyed the demo, the thing that appeals to me about this game is that it is much more slower paced and you can plan your attack. to me, this appeals much more interesting than charging in and quick scoping 5 guys, run a bit, quickscope rinse and repeat.

    That review sounded pretty positive. Sounds like more thana 6.0 honestly. Then again, the same guy gave SS3 only a 6.0 even though it was easily the best FPS of last year. Also gave Modern Rehash 3 a 8.5...so yeah, I'm gonna assume this game is way more fun than he gives it credit for.

    Lower than I expected (I thought it would score 7.5), but still seems like a fun game. I'll probably get it this summer during the Steam Sale.

    Shakes, you have some damage to control

    Oh, that's right. Poor guy.

    I too will pick this up in the Steam summer sale, might go 50% off but even if it goes 33% off I'll pick it up.

    Still looking forward to it. I loved the demo as getting headshots never got old. I just hope it doesn't force too many CoD confrontations. Gamespot has changed their numerical scores one lower and have become more strict in what they hand out. A while ago they'd have given this a 7. We haven't seen a 10 forever. The review was not overly negative and didn't strike me as a 6.

    good news. can you take your time and think things through properly, the demo was pretty restrictive in terms of your options, but the word on the official forum is that it occurs early in the game and the next level is way more open. can you confirm?
