The action of the Sniper Elite 3 shooter takes place in Africa during World War II. It is the third episode of the popular shooter series from Rebellion studio. Similarly to its predecessors, the action of the game takes place during World War II.
This time however, authors decided to refrain from european location, instead they placed the game in the african regions. The main character however stayed the same. Probably, the role will be taken again by Karl Fishburne, working as a sharpshooter for the command of the United States Armed Forces.
Sniper Elite III: Afrika Korps brings back the trademark of the series, the extensive sniper mechanics. An already known patent – the X-Ray Kill Cam – will be used here as well. It is the X-Ray vision which allows us to see the bullet rip through our opponent's body.
On higher levels of difficulty, the game mechanics makes the wind and gravity influece the bullet trajectory.
Sniper Elite III is clearly the best game in the series. Rebellion managed to correct some of the previous games' glaring mistakes and improve on its already compelling game mechanics. The only thing keeping it from achieving a higher score is a lack of focus in the story department and a couple of relatively minor flaws. Otherwise, highly recommended to both fans of the series and newcomers alike.
Anyone who enjoys a good tactical shooter, especially those with an affinity for the long-range kill, would do well to check it out.
Sniper Elite III has some flaws - the AI works in mysterious ways and the storyline is silly. These minor issues don't cloud the complete image - the game is a well thought-out package with a good single-player campaign (full of semi-open missions), satisfying co-op and a solid, original multiplayer mode. You should definitely give Sniper Elite III a Chance.
Fun sniping and great mission design just barely eclipse bugs, exploitable AI, and other issues that would make a lesser game impossible to recommend.
Fun enough for some dedicated campers, with some truly tense multiplayer action. [Aug 2014, p.50]
Sniper Elite III is like working from home for me. Although I enjoy the tasks and executing them, I feel like there are ways to make doing them more rewarding and engaging.
Good atmosphere, lovelly weapons but the many bugs and the idiotic enemies makes for a pretty big let down.
