Not bad at all. If you like the first game you will really like this one. As for the graphics, they are fine, but do not push the system, these graphics could have bee an early xbox 360 game. Also the color in the game feels/looks a little washed out, if it was a video I was watching I would go into controls and slightly increase the Color and vibrance settings and decrease contrast just a little. But maybe it is intentional to give the game more of an older feel.
I have not played many levels, just the first level and then i jumped right to the Assassinate hitler level. I have not got past half the level yet, not because it is so hard, but because I am trying to do it flawless and on the hardest setting, Not alerting anyone. Very stealthy etc. If I figure out how to do so I will put up a How To video.
The slow mo bullet kill cams are fun. You can choose in settings how often for them to occure from just once in a while to frequent.
I like some of the other Sniper stuff they have included, they go beyond bullet drop alone. Each type of sniper rifle has different bullet velocities so this increases or decreases bullet travel time so different rifles have different bullet drop for the same distance. there are 3 difficulty settings, each setting changes enemy difficulty and your weakness but as far as the sniper features...
Easy... no bullet drop or drift, where you put your cross hair is where your round will hit.
Medium.. Bullet drop added but no drift.
Hard... Bullet drop and wind drift added.
You can also set up booby traps such as a trip wire, which you can use like a claymore. You can place land mines on dead enemies so if any enemy comes to check out a body you left out in the open.. BOOM.
You can search bodies for ammo, take weapons, and even pick up bodies Hitman Style to move them somewhere safe if you do not want them found.
I will try my best to perfect the Kill Hitler level and post a vid if successful.
The cover controls are a bit clunky and could have used some more work before they released the game. For instance, when you press Q against a wall, car, box etc you go into cover against that object, but once in cover it sometimes takes a little work to get back off the object, some times just trying to walk back off of it does not work, you have to walk right of walk left sometimes, almost like the cover is a little too sticky, also you can not stay in cover mode against lets say a box and scoot around a corner to another side of the box, you have to uncover then cover again. and sometimes if you are in cover mode aginst a wall and right at the edge of the wall but not sticking out, the enemy can still see you somtimes, or if you are cover against a stack of boxes that you think they can not see you behind, they sometimes will. I guess it is more realistic, if they are at the right angle an can see you in real life around a corner or top or your head behind a box, I guess i am ok with it in the game as well, just makes it a bit harder... But then there are times like in the demo, where you walk across the street in the open, in broad daylight with like 6 guards about and close, and no one even notices you, that seems too easy. Then you will be in a train yard and some guy really far away keeps spotting you and you do not see him until you get out your binoculars and finely find him in the other side of the map with a sub machine gun. but then you do the level again and he does not see you. So again, is this a bad thing or does it keep it fresh?
I will have to play more before making any real decisions on the game as a whole.
as for the Multi-Player, Can not report back on that, but would like to hear from anyone that has played MP. I have no idea how that even works, bunch of snipers crawling around waiting for someone to make a mistake, or everyone running around with Machine guns, But I hear they do have slow mo bullet cam kills in MP, thats cool.

Yeah, I played the demo and the gfx are nothing special but this game was always about gameplay. As you say it is very realistic.
I haven't played the full game yet. By the way have check if you can make covert shots???, in the first game you could cover the noise of your rifle by firing at the same time an artillery shell fall (Just like in that sniper movie Enemy at the Gates) _________________________________________________________

At splinter,... Yes, there are covert shots, in this particular level, in the beginning, if you are in the right area near front of train, the whistle will blow every so often, if you shoot during the whistle, you will not be noticed.
I still have not played more than this mission and first level, I am sure there are many more types of noise cover as well.
VIDEO>>>
Still trying for full stealth perfect game on the Kill Hitler mission, no luck yet, so made a Rambo mode video. Guns blazing and no stealth, just straight to the point.
SPOILER, this is the DLC Assassinate the Fuhrer mission, do not watch if you have not played it yet and want it to be a surprise.
Only in 480p as I did not have all day to upload in 720 or 1080.
Double Head shot, 720p

I played the game yesterday. I am loving it.
Making a covert shoot like that will give you an achievement _________________________________________________________
