zebber: Out of curiosity, why Deus Ex?

Collie: Interesting that I keep going into my local Game store and seeing 3 games for �10 offers. The games offered usually the ones on sale here! Sniper Elite is another one the store is trying to offload and GOG pick it up too. Just a co-incidence, but most of the games in the offer I was interested in, GOG sell and I'd bought them here first. Sniper Elite is not one I've thought about getting though.

Delixe: It's not the first time Steam have done a sale just before GOG have launched a title on here. Valve are not above the odd dirty little trick.

StealthKnight: This is a good game guys. You need to think tactical and not rush. It's not impossible to beat on any difficulty. You got to have a different mindset when playing this compared to a fps.

StealthKnight: Enemies do not know where you are unless you make enough noise or are spotted. Even if you fire one shot they will not know exactly where you are but they may search where they heard the shot. You have to time your shots to the sounds of the environment and the paths of the enemies. Getting multiple kills is important to remain stealthy. If they start searching for you, you need to move to another location to avoid being found. It's not impossible and I beat this game on hard. If they know you are behind them then you need to sneek. Also the tank is already in the level and only activates based on a script.

Red_Avatar: I got to agree with juancho - go read my review. Basically, spawning and scripted events ruin this game. It's far from its only flaw though - reloading doesn't make you stop looking through the scope for starters, the controls are RIDICULOUSLY complex and could have been tweaked a lot more. Hold a button to search? Come on - just use a single "use" button with context sensitive menu like Hitman.
The game does have a lot of touches but it's just all wasted because of the scripted spawning, invisible walls everywhere, a lack of freedom, etc. I never felt like a real sniper because of these. A real sniper would sneak around, get into buildings and snipe from a hidden spot. In this game, either buildings are just one massive texture or you can only rarely get on the second floor or there's some invisible wall preventing you from entering. The invisible walls got on my tits REAL quickly. This game isn't even as good as Hidden & Dangerous!
