== Gameplay == [[File:JFK Reloaded screenshot.png|thumb|right|The player aiming at [[John F. Kennedy]] through their [[Telescopic sight|scope]]]] ''JFK Reloaded'' is a [[first-person shooter]].<ref name="Game Studies" /> It recreates the [[assassination of John F. Kennedy]], the 35th [[president of the United States]], as it occurred on November 22, 1963, according to the report of the [[Warren Commission]].<ref name="The Guardian" /> The player controls [[Lee Harvey Oswald]] from the sixth-floor window of the [[Texas School Book Depository]] in [[Dallas]].<ref name="The Independent" /> As Kennedy's [[motorcade]] passes by on [[Dealey Plaza]], the player has to take three shots at the president with their [[sniper rifle]]. They gain points based on how closely these shots match the Warren Commission's report: The first has to miss the car, the second hit Kennedy in the neck and [[John Connally]] (the [[governor of Texas]]) in the chest, and the third fatally wound Kennedy in the head. The perfect score is 1,000.<ref name="Slate" /><ref name="Salon" /> While the game does not halt the player from pursuing alternative scenarios, the score is deducted from when the player deviates from the event, such as by hitting [[Jacqueline Kennedy]], the [[First Lady of the United States|first lady]].<ref name="Salon" /><ref name="CNET" /> ''JFK Reloaded'' includes a "Chaos Meter" that controls how heavily the motorcade's drivers are affected by panic.<ref name="NYTimes" /> Following each game, individual shots can be replayed in [[slow motion]] and with a [[close-up]] on each bullet.<ref name="The Independent" /><ref name="CNET" /> The scene can be viewed from several angles, including from the [[grassy knoll]], the location of the [[Zapruder film]], and a virtual camera mounted to Kennedy's limousine.<ref name="CNET" /><ref name="GIbiz" /> The player can further enable [[blood splatter]] effects and exaggerated [[Game physics|physics]].<ref name="The Independent" /><ref name="Eurogamer" />
