Sniper Elite - 2

Anyone else pre-ordering this?

Best price is on Steam so far I think, £26.99 and includes pre-order bonus DLC of a couple extra weapons and an extra level where you can snipe Hitler!

Try ShopTo @ £22.85. It says you get something free so I'm guessing that'll be the preorder bonus.
 
Was very surprised by the praise the original received, I tried playing it 6 months ago and thought it was very clunky, graphically mediocre with shocking AI (you can just stand around gunning them down in the early levels). To be fair I didn't give the game much of a shot and maybe it improves later on but the game felt more like a glorified mod than a commercial release. I enjoyed sniper sections from other FPS more.

In related news, apparently Rebellion are desperate to make Sniper Elite 3, never mind SE2 :) http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-04-10-rebellion-desperately-wants-to-make-sniper-elite-3
 
I'm interested in this after seeing a playable PC demo at Gadget Show Live on Saturday. The guy there said that there will be a playable PC demo available to download from Steam very shortly.

Ah that's good to hear :) This looks pretty good :)
 
Just played the demo, twice.

They've canabalised the Spinter Cell engine and made it WW2. Add in hawk eyed enemies about as accurate as stevie wonder and a nifty wee shot cam that only sometimes turn on :/

Think i'll give it a miss..
 
Just got an email back from Shopto, if you pre-order you do get the bonus DLC's and they post a hard copy instead of just emailing a Steam code in time for the release date. They seem to be the cheapest at the mo - £22.85 and free delivery.

Very tempted by this myself, but would like a demo or something as I never really got in to the first one.

From watching the video posted further up I guess the kill cam only kicks in if you hit a vital organ... Like the testicles!

I had the original and didn't really like it but I do like the idea of the gory kills. We just need a new Soldier of Fortune that's as good as the first.
