The previous entry in the series is 2012’s Sniper Elite V2. The franchise’s gameplay is slow moving sniping with stealth kills, setting mine traps, and throwing rocks for a distraction. Sniper Elite V2 does require two handed gaming with minimal customizable controls. The subtitles options are unique with both Subtitles and Enemy Subtitles available separately. The Enemy Subtitles shows the enemies’ speech thus the dialogue and the knowledge that enemies are nearby are available to deaf and hard of hearing gamers. A demo for Sniper Elite V2 is available on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 which allows disabled gamers firsthand experience with the game prior to purchase.
