Things like sprinting and climbing all increase your heart rate, so if you go running up to cover and quickly look to take a shot then you’ll need to rely on your own natural abilities as focusing can only be down with a heart-rate below a certain amount. It also brings up a small red reticule showing exactly where the bullet will land, allowing you to perform impressive long-range shots without working out the ballistics involved yourself, such as bullet drop and wind. Aim down the scope and provided your heart rate is low enough you can enter a special focus mode by tapping RB which steadies the scope and slows time down by a small amount. Naturally as a sniper you’ll spend a good chunk of your time patiently watching enemies from afar, waiting for the opportune moment to introduce their heads to your pet bullets. To put it simply Rebellion’s third effort has been the most pleasantly surprising game of 2014 thus far, managing to exceed my admittedly low expectations by delivering something rather fun, if not particularly well put together. So, no, strength of narrative is not the reason to play Sniper Elite III, but that’s okay because it makes up for it in other ways. The closest thing to a compliment that could be paid is that as gruff, generic heroes go the voice actor for Karl does a good job of sounding really gruff and uncaring. Nor does Sniper Elite III attempt to paint a picture of the hardships of being a sniper, the horrors of war or anything else for that matter, leaving an empty story devoid of substance. As for Karl he talks to a grand total of two people throughout the entire campaign (one of which is Vahlen) which is understandable given his profession as a sniper, but it doesn’t lend itself to creating a lead character with personality. So generic is the script that, and I kid you not, there’s genuinely a “we’re not so different” speech by Vahlen, who might just take home the award for Villain With The Least Screen Time. The writing never manages to drag itself above being utterly bland and there’s no memorable characters, as proven by the fact that I cannot actually remember a single person’s name outside of the main protagonist and the villain, although it must be said that’s only because I wrote down both names in a notebook purely for this review. You venture from location to location, the links between each tenuous at best, attempting to discover Vahlen’s master plan. The plot centres around Vahlen building a super weapon somewhere in Africa and is mostly advanced through dull cutscenes between missions that are narrated by Karl Fairburne, the lead character and titular elite sniper/lone wolf. There’s some sort of storyline going on in Sniper Elite involving a typical bad guy by the name of Vahlen and the most generic, gruff white male protagonist imaginable, but it’s not what you would call a gripping narrative. I might have arrived late to the party, but I’m glad I got here. Having missed the previous two games, but heard from many people that Sniper Elite V2 was actually a title worth playing, I went into Rebellion’s later effort largely blind, having only an understanding garnered from videos and research rather than hands-on experience.
