Sniper Elite

It brings me nostalgic memory as a kid

The best Sniper Elite ever made.

I love shooting things!

each and every man under my command owes me 100 Nazi testicles

Didnt age well ,Im skipping this game in the series for sure ,very clunky

I won't dispute this game's standing as a classic, but unfortunately it has aged like milk. The quality and modernization between this and even the original version of its first sequel, Sniper Elite V2 (released 7 years later in 2012) is night and day. Considering how big of a gap that was in the gaming industry at that time I suppose it comes as no surprise, but regardless I see no real reason for anyone who hasn't played this game to get it. If you have played this game before, maybe you had it on disk as a kid and want to revisit it as an adult, feel free to ignore this review and get it anyway. If not, and like me your first Sniper Elite game was V2 or a later entry, you can safely skip this one and you probably should unless you like collecting old games when they're on sale.

nice

Yes

Childhood memories :')

This is probably my favorite sniper elite out of all of them, i dont know what it is but i find this way easior and more entertaining

i dont remember wwii happening on an ice rink but sure

I'm sure 99% of people don't read the reviews. So you may not know that Naruto can be a bit harsh sometimes. You may not know this, but Naruto also grew up without a father. In fact, he never met either of his parents and never had any friends.

its a classic, and offers a no hands held experience if you prefer it difficult.

No

Best classic sniper elite game ever

Good game

There's a patch you need for modern computers. Just search for it here on steam in "community" or "guides", or in the worst case scenario, ask an AI.

Anyway, it's the first in the series so it's a lot simpler than the other games, but I found it great

Very clunky mechanics which haven't age well. Will try the following games from this series.

Very rarely do i straight up abandon a game after a couple of minutes but if i actually completed Sniper Elite i feel like i would've regretted the time i wasted on such an unlikeable game.
First of all the controls are literally insane. Why did they ever think controlling the main character like driving a car was a good idea ? It feels as if you are ice skating. Also the game constantly throws stupid instructions that stop the game at worst possible times. Its an old game i get that but there are thousands of games from that era that didn't have such ridiculous things. I don't normally care if a game looks bad because its old but unfortunately in sniper elite, it hinders the gameplay quite a lot. It's really difficult to see the enemies.

I was pumped up to go through the whole Sniper Elite series because i liked the Nazi Zombies series but this game makes me question my decision. I absolutely wouldn't recommend this game even if you got it for free don't waste your time.

I don't know how to put it, but this game, despite its age, remains the most atmospheric of this series of games: all these explosions, shots, screams, even the noise of the surroundings makes it clear that this is not some kind of shooter, like Call Of Duty - this is a simulator of an ordinary soldier, where you can rely only on yourself. Unlike other parts, this one conveys the experience of a sniper best of all. No enemy marks. You yourself must determine the distance to the target and make an accurate shot. No minimap. You don't even know what awaits you behind the nearest break. Complete realism. Absolute Cinema.

Calling this game 'garbage' would be putting it into a game category it doesn't deserve. Flash games were better built that this garbage software.

Get Sniper elite V2 , Missions and narrative are different , but same story and back drop

Gameplay mightbe outdate & not easy to control but it is a good game from it era.

Will there ever be a remake?

Decent classic Third-Person Sniper Shooter.

The bullet travel to target. The physics.

Decent sniping game, gore blood and nazis spilling into them.

This one is my favorite in the series! but its for sure the hardest and very very clunky at times its got that old ps2 jank.The game runs fine on modern systems its just impossible to stealth much like SE 2 and the AI can be very unforgiving.If you have played the later games for sure pick this one up if you're new start any of the games that came out after this one.

One of the best sniper games, Knowing that the opening of the game is very bad, especially the first Mission, But as you progress through the story, you will find that the game was worth it and was fantastic at the time.

this is nostalgia, but lol i see not everyone is having a good time with this game. i remember playing it on the ps2 and it was a challenging experience, it's like the enemy's got wall hacks or sum'n lol. you do get cues of which direction the enemy shot at you from on the mini map, but that's all you get, it can still be hard to pinpoint them if you're a newbie at video games in general. this game also has realistic bullet drop and there is no guide for telling where the bullet will land due to the downward trajectory when firing long range shots, so you have to learn where your shots will land through experience. it's not that hard, but can be tedious/annoying. just like how most old games are, and the controls are ancient. one thing i will say though, they really nailed the WW2 style visuals. feels like this game was made in the 1980s or some shiii even though graphically that's not possible lol

at last i have become the sniper elite

Great game, beginning of one of my favorite franchises.

I remember playing this game when I was little and I loved it.
I tried it here and it didn't work
I guess I've grown up and it's not like it was when I was a child

If you don't mind moving like you're on ice and smart fckn NPCs, its a good game

Game feels older than it should, the movement feels weird and clunky, you leave the key for moving forward and the character keeps sliding for a bit. There are 8 missions total plus 1 that unlocks after you finish the game, every missions is split into sub-missions, usually from 3 to 5. The story is pretty bland and nothing really interesting happens. The only thing that saves the game is the sniping slow-mo, which is sincerely fun and addicting and never gets old. Overall I had fun and I recommend the game if you want to know how the series started. Looking forward to play the next games in the franchise.

I wish there was a middle thumb rather than just thumbs up or thumbs down since there is a lot in this game that really makes a true gem among old school games but I hate to say that it wasn't very fun. 2005 Was a while ago so who cares about bug and what not, that was years ago but for PC at least in this day in age it works... OK and no further.

I had zero issues running the game on win11, and it's directx8, I suggest checking the PCGW page if you're having issues.

the game mostly serves as a worthy proof of concept that would lead to the otherwise great sniper elite series.

the game is incredibly clunky. the ai constantly bounces between blind and omniscient, and the movement is straight up bad. karl runs like he's a freight train powered by vegetable oil. i have no idea what the devs were trying to do there. the stealth is otherwise okay, i guess. it is interesting to see the origins of the classic bullet cam that we have in the sniper elite series today.

another problem is length. the game entirely overstays its welcome and becomes an outright slog at points.

if you're a fan of the series, this'll really test your patience, with all the jank and all. it's completely unnecessary as SNV2 serves as a soft reboot of the series and this one isn't really connected to it at all, so you can skip it with little consequence if you're not a completionist.

Excellent game! Terrific graphics and game play.

Just the game mechanics were bleeding edge when this puppy was released but it has aged well and I play it through once a year now.

Terrible. Save your money and skip to V2 instead.

Very inglorious move to make an achievement in Sniper Elite 3 to own 3 of first Sniper Elite games, forcing players to buy more. So I only bought this because of achievement and it sucks. The game is really bad even considering it's old and all this..
So basically my main complaint is because of achievement forcing to make more profit for devs. Shame on you! Achievements never should be pay to win

I know it is a 20-year-old game, there are classics out there that are still worth playing, but this one is totally skippable. Voice acting is weird, gameplay and controls are clunky, 16:9 looks stretched

I wish I could recommend this however I tried playing it even downloading a file recommended for fixes. However, the majority of my playtime was just TRYING to do the first mission, I say trying because I was constantly bombarded with tutorial messages as I was going through the map, I also shot a tank nowhere near me and the explosion killed me, and when I went to reload it said I had NO saves even though the game had said that I had been saving.

very low space requirement i havent finished it yet but im about to stream the whole thing yayyyy

It's alright.

vey clasic game which i enjoy

I had a really good time with this game. It is obviously from the early 2000s but yet the graphics are still good looking, gameplay is smooth (literally smooth because you're skating all over the place), and sniping is very satisfying. It was great to see the beginnings of the Sniper Elite series. 7/10 for me.
