Looking back at my PS3 review, I was probably too generous in the final evaluation, or at least playing this Wii U version made me wonder if I didn’t score it about a half of a point too high. The same could be said for the 2005 release which, again, was such a great idea but it just wasn’t polished. There’s still plenty of clipping issues and other miscellaneous quirkiness, none of it game-breaking, but much of it discouraging and sobering. Instead, the first few missions played out as familiar as they did over a year ago, enemies in exactly the same areas and reacting the very same way. Revisiting the missions of SEV2 was enjoyable, but I had hoped for a lot of the AI and other flaws to be cleaned up. What I benefited from the most with the Gamepad was the heart rate monitor, which is crucial when playing the game on high and custom difficulty settings. Quick access to inventory and weapons is marginally useful, but I found it just as convenient to use the d-pad to scroll through my items. The map is a no frills, 2D, top down affair that is somewhat useful but it’s not a game-changer. The only advantages, if you can even call them that, that the Wii U version has is Gamepad integration which boils down to being able to play the game on your Gamepad so dad can watch baseball on the TV, or acting as a secondary screen which provides a map, quick weapon and inventory access, and a realtime heart rate monitor for your character. Not only was the single player gameplay exactly the same as the PS3 version I played over a year ago, flaws still intact, but co-op mode is gone and no DLC is available. On the other hand you have rare, curious releases like Sniper Elite V2 ( SEV2) for the Wii U. Generally, that’s the way it’s done we’ve all seen “Ultimate” and “Legendary” and “Game of the Year” Editions before, and as long as they have enough content and aren’t released too close to the original I really like those releases. It ought to make fans and owners of the original release envious, and newcomers interested perhaps to a degree they weren’t before. Re-releasing a game for a new platform outside of a tablet or a mobile should be an opportunity to make it the best version of your game yet. Use it wisely.Note - my original review of Sniper Elite V2 for the PS3 can be found here. Organs shred, bones splinter, teeth shatter, as the true impact of the sniper’s bullet is brought to life.Īs World War Two ends and the Cold War begins, every shot counts.
