At the core of V2 was a challenging and entertaining sniping game. So pulling off a headshot from a mile away in stormy weather felt rewarding beyond the gratuitous presentation of its effects on said Nazi's braincase.

You'd aim your rifle in the general direction of a Nazi, and watch with morbid fascination as a bullet slowly burrowed its way through skin, flesh, and bone, along with a side-dish of heart, kidney, lung, brain or testicle depending on the precision with which you'd pointed your death-stick. Waltz through the game on Easy and it was one step up from a torture simulator. The quality of Sniper Elite V2 was defined to a considerable degree by the difficulty it was played on.
