In reality, in single player it happens too often, so much so to be an annoyance. You'll get an x-ray view of the bullet impacting whichever vital organ you hit, along with the bones crunching as the bullet passes through or at least that's the idea. If you pull off a particularly fancy shot from a long way away, the camera will follow your bullet in slow-motion, right into the enemy. The entire game is one long horde mode, killing waves, and alone, it has no merit past the initial thrill of a long-distance headshot, where you're treated to a slow-motion kill-cam. The biggest issue, aside from the rinse-repeat nature of everything in the game, is that there is absolutely no reason to play alone, despite it being a selectable option playing with friends is not a viable excuse to release a dull game for a single person, but that's exactly what this is. Machine guns and pistols, as well as more specialised weapons are available should you desire, but these all use the standard over the shoulder aiming method. You'll control your character - either a Russian, an American, a German or a Brit - in a third person view, moving into first person only to look through the scope of your rifle. Gameplay is identical to that of the last game in the series Sniper Elite: V2. Shoot the weak spots to expose the boss, shoot the boss for a few seconds until he regenerates, rinse and repeat a few times to win. The only thing that breaks up shooting zombies and skeletons is tedious boss battles, which would seem more at home in a House of the Dead game. It can be enjoyable to begin with, but that quickly switches to an exercise in frustration. With virtually no story past "Hitler's gone and raised the undead, kill 'em all!" there's no real reason to be invested here, it's a very senseless experience. If you go ahead and repeat that sentence a few hundred times, you have your game. Over the course of your journey you will shoot some zombies, watch zombies die in slow-motion, shoot some skeletons, then watch skeletons die in slow-motion. He's unleashed the horde and you're there to stop it with some sniping shooty-bangs. You and three friends are charged with ridding Germany of a zombie outbreak, courtesy of that loveable rascal Hitler. It's a silly title for what is in honesty, a silly game.
