If Sniper Elite left you wanting more, this is where you narrow it down. Was it the simulation or the third-person shooter that hooked you? There is a list of just that. And if you play on PlayStation and Xbox, filter by platform and skip the games you could not play anyway.

That is what these rankings are for: no comparison to anything, just the highest-rated games. And if you feel like widening the net, the Shooter Games ranking is a good way to run into something you were not expecting.
