Manufacturer's Description
WW II was a theatre of war for many specialized combat units, working together to ensure an army's victory. Among them a unique role was played by hidden and deadly marksmen. Their ability to lay motionless waiting for the perfect shot together with their professional equipment allowed them to change the course of the history with one pull of a trigger.

Become a sharpshooter and take part in the turning points of the WW II. Eliminate the Nazi general, who came to support the Germans lying siege to Stalingrad. Make your way through areas occupied by the Third Reich to your unit. Aid the Alliance forces during their offensive on the Italian Peninsula to break the resistance of the retreating Wehrmacht forces.

Customer Reviews

Disappointing.
This is the second game from the same distributor that I have been very disappointed with, and I will not be buying anymore. The concept is a poor man's Sniper Elite, a game I found to be very good, with good graphics and gameplay. But this game, forget it, unless you are a young child just starting out.
At first it seems OK but as you get into it, you find you can become trapped in the game area boundries (which are ridiculously small), be this a pile of rubble you are not supposed to cross, or a line trees you cannot pass. I reached the the german sniper hunt(5th or 6th game), and having completed all the preliminaries, gave up because the sniper could not be found at all, and I could no longer procede with the game. I spent a long time trying, systematically searching the buildings where he was supposed to be hiding, but he hid so well I never caught sight of him and was therefore stuck. At this point I just uninstalled the game and gave up.
In general the graphics are poor for this day and age and the whole concept appears to have been produced on very small budget. It is intended for up to 16 year olds, but no gamer of 10 would be satisfied with this.
My advice, don't waste your money.

Good Overall Game
I found this to be a little like Medal Of Honour although the graphics are a little poorer which was probably indicated by the price of the game. In you like these kind of games and dont want to pay out the full whack for MOH then this is ideal as it gives the same type of game play and stratogy with a little less on the graphics side, saying that the graphics are still very good indeed.
Some levels were hard as it took a little working out on how to get the enemy, also 2 levels froze on me but a reboot of the game cured this.
It was a well worth purchase and is very good gaming unless you are a 100% gaming buff and anything less that MoD wouldnt do.

Very poor
Game play is poor - moving is awkward. Too many places are blocked where logically you would expect to go through i.e. instead of going through a large open window you have to politely go through a nearby door. Many items are solid which shouldn't be For example you can often not fire through the gap between railings - the gaps are solid! Enemy muzzle flashes are not visible when you look through the scope making it very difficult to see where fire is coming from. I bought it for about three pounds - if I'd paid more I would feel cheated
