Sniper Elite?

[sidereal]

Anyone played this?  It's $5 this weekend and the reviews are surprisingly positive for what looks like a cheapy stealth FPS.  I need confirmation that it's good.

I say go for it. Sounds like it would be entertaining for $5.

I'm actually very surprised about the 76 average on metacritic for a $5 dollar game
I might actually give this one a try ;)

It's alright.  I have complaints. . like no jumping.  And more importantly it seems it's confused about what kind of game it wants to be.  Getting shot is pretty bad, so you're encouraged to treat it more like a puzzle/stealth game where the goal is to find your way through the objectives without getting seen.  But they kit you out with SMGs and pistols and things that have no use outside a run-and-gun game.

But for $5, it offers a lot of sniping.
