A splash of paint gives this old game a new look. A shame so many other things went wrong with this remake. The end result is a remake where I'd rather play the original. I mean, only 1 Doom Star allowed? What madness is this?

A qualified recommendation. This game felt like a shorter, less interesting revamp of Sniper Elite V2. Which is weird because Steam says I played 26 hours in SE3 and only 16.8 in SE2. Maybe it's because I spent so much time in Sniper Elite 3 sneaking around and plinking with my silenced pistol instead of doing what the game is named after.

I suppose that's on me. A lot of the levels suggest a stealthy approach but it's not really necessary. The AI is pretty bad, so you're expected to kill a few soldiers, move positions, and the survivors will forget you were ever there. Even if they march across the corpses of their buddies while on patrol.

This game takes place in northern Africa so the levels are mostly wide open deserts and generally not that interesting. I was surprised when the game ended because it wasn't a big spectacular finish, just another dull mission.

Only a little different from Tropico 3, but all of the good stuff you loved.

Wildly frustrating, wildly fun.

Not so much an empire sim as it is a nobility relationship sim.

Barely a game. Not a fun one at that.

A great re-imagining of the franchise. Really down to earth. I can't believe all the nonsense controversy that surrounded this game before it came out.

Build rockets! Launch rockets! Crash rockets!
