The only thing better than dropping a Nazi to the ground and knowing they'll never get back up, is dropping dozens or hundreds of Nazis to the ground and knowing they'll never get back up. That's what you'll be doing during your time with the Sniper Elite: Resistance campaign but, as ever, this is no simple shooting gallery. In fact, this game balances action and stealth with a level of success that very few games manage.
It's occupied France, 1944. The look and feel of the game will be immediately familiar to series fans but, this time, you're not playing as Karl Fairburne. This time, former supporting character Harry Hawker takes the spotlight. Or perhaps I should say 'arry 'awker, as his cockney accent is thick enough to style your hair with. Indeed, there's enough ham and cheese in the dialogue and delivery to give texture to an otherwise straightforward story, which serves as an ample backdrop to the hugely enjoyable act of blowing fascists away.
