"Sniper Elite" depicts the end of the European theater of World War II. The Germans are nearly defeated and the Western Allies and Soviets have begun preparing for the next war. Players assume the role of an OSS agent sent behind enemy lines in an Allied bid to keep German atomic weapons research out of Soviet hands. Taking place in war torn Berlin, a single bullet could change the course of history.
Peter Rezon, CEO of Reef Entertainment said; ‘The Nintendo Wii platform has been very good for Reef and we will continue to develop innovative and unique games for it. Following on from our recent launches of Free RunningTM & Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre, we are incorporating features to ensure that Sniper Elite will be an essential purchase for all shooter fans.’
The Wii version of Sniper Elite makes full use of the Wii’s control system with movement and gestures, is compatible with the Wii Zapper, and contains new levels and a raft of additional features, making this game one of a kind.
Peter concludes, ‘Sniper Elite represents our most ambitious project yet. We have taken a game which has been called ‘the Gran Turismo of War Games’ and we will fully immerse gamers into Berlin 1945. Rifle add-ons such as the Wii Zapper have been a primary focus to make the game as realistic and exciting as possible. We believe this will be one of the most fun shooter titles launched in 2010”.
