Sniper Elite opinions? On sale for $2 on Steam for a week

As the title says, anyone played it? Looks pretty interesting and at that price point it is pretty hard to go wrong most the time.

But would be nice to know if it is actually worth the time to play.

My time to google it, make a review, etc. is worth more than $2. how much is your time worth? Just get it.

Obviously you are not someone I am asking then since you haven't played it.

Well, if you like the sneaky, wait for your target to get in to view type of game. You cant go wrong with it. It has different settings where you can turn on/off wind, bullet drop, ect.

Overall a good game I would say. If i didn't already own, I'd buy it.

I read a review of this about a year ago and thought "damn - maybe my kind of game. too bad I missed it"

Am downloading as of now. Glad I saw this thread.

lol - I guess my steam boycott didn't last that long

I picked it up the last time it was on sale. It's not really my style as I'm more of a fan Doom/Unreal/Serious Sam type shooters, but for $2 I can't really complain.

I've been playing this, it's fun.

But it doesn't look like a game I'll play twice.

To those who played this:

What difficulty should I choose for max enjoyment on my only playthrough?

Should I just use rookie for some relaxed sniping? Or should I go ahead and try the harder level with wind direction and breathing? Does it get too frustrating later?

I'm assuming I can't change difficulty level on the fly.

I remember playing a sniper game at the arcade; the controller was a rifle with a scope and you'd be given the scene from someplace and have to identify the enemy and kill him before time ran out with each kill giving you more time. If it's half as fun as that should be worth the price.
