The only saving grace for this game is the sniping. Creeping around like Solid Snake feels like it should be awesome, but the experience is marred by terrible AI that cycles between omniscience and complete, utter stupidity. Since the game auto saves at predetermined checkpoints, it takes only one "mistake" (e.g. the AI momentarily being either decent or godlike) to destroy from minutes up to half an hour of slow progress made to sneak into a base and take out your target. Welp, looks like some dude wayyy over there "saw" you and is now giving you a machine gun enema with accuracy that would make a real sniper envious. The only real tactic at that point is to either grenade yourself to start over at the last checkpoint or, if you're able, run away and hide and wait for them to reset. You can try running and gunning, but in order to push the idea of being a sniper, the other guns may as well be airsoft. About the best I can explain the AI... if you played the terribleness of the original Sniper Elite back in 2005, it's like they dragged-and-dropped the same terrible AI into this. Get this on a very deep discount only.
