Naturally when the last enemy is lying dead at your feet, the music drops away again. The music is low or non existent when you are sneaking around trying to listen for any movements, and quite intense during the heat of battle. The music is terrific, and is integrated into the user interface quite well. ItвЂ™s not distracting but you do eventually notice the same lines being spoken as you move through the game. The soldiers, both Russian and German, sound fairly appropriate, though I cannot say that there were too many voice actors employed. Explosions can be heard almost all the time in Berlin, and the game makes use of it to mask your shots if you want to take advantage of all that distracting noise. You can hear soldiers speaking in muffled voices if they are in the building a floor below you, for example. In a game where you always need to know whats going on around you, Sniper Elite V2 does a pretty solid job of building the soundscape. Sorry, IвЂ™m just going to sit here and let that imagery sink in for a few minutes. You play as Karl Fairburne but you could be Mickey Mouse for all it matters to the story. Other than that little quibble, I canвЂ™t say the story is especially deep, but it serves the purpose of moving the action along from one setting to the next. Towards the end of the game you finally get some justification but by then the die has been cast. Soviets who are presumably your allies, who have been fighting the same German threat you have for 4 years. Perhaps its a personal hangup of mine, but the game takes itвЂ™s time justifying why termination of Soviet soldiers is allowed. Unfortunately all is not right in Berlin. Reading that paragraph, the story seems to have all the right tools to be pretty awesome. You are a sniper, and your bullets will chart historyвЂ™s course for the next 50 years. You play Karl Fairburne, an officer in the OSS who has been dropped into Berlin with a single mission: Stop the German scientists from вЂњdefectingвЂќГ‚Вќ to the USSR, no matter what it takes. Weapons programs like the V2, the worlds first Ballistic Missile. The Soviet Union and the Western Allies are now locked in a deadly race to see who can acquire the scientists who ran GermanyвЂ™s advanced weapons programs. Nazi Germany is on the verge of total collapse, with the end of the war just days away. So Sniper Elite V2 has a lot to live up to when it get placed in the disc tray of my Xbox 360. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault holds a special place in my heart thanks to two things: Normandy, and the sniper missions. Games like Tenchu and Metal Gear Solid, where the stealth was done right and not tacked onto a run and gun game. I love me some good old fashioned Stealth Action.
