Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When Silent Scope hit the arcades a couple of years ago, the idea of just playing a sniper got a lot of people excited. After all, it had always been alluded to in the multiplayer games on the PC, but never really concentrated on. Since that success, no multiplayer game today dare be released without the sniper rifle included.
To answer these cries from hungry gamers, Konami has finally turned their arcade game into one for the console. Now before you get excited, unfortunately it doesn't come with a sniper rifle--imagine the fun the Daily Mail would have with that one--but what it does offer is the snipers viewpoint just like in the arcade.
For those unfamiliar with the darkest of dungeons; the arcade, and lets face it, that's most of us, Silent Scope is a pure sniper game. Playing the part of a rifleman in a police swat team, your tasks are to take down as many bad guys as possible in the limited time you have. The more bad guys you shoot the more time you get, take too much time and the game soon ends, but luckily this time that doesn't mean another £1 in the slot.
The scenery varies from building rooftops to circling helicopters as you try to increase your accuracy and hit ratio. The controls, you will be pleased to know, are easier with the help of the joypad, although you can't but help wish that you really could play this with a sniper rifle to add to the realism of it all.
If you have whittled away many an afternoon playing in the arcade while you should have been someplace else, this is definitely worth the investment; and for new players this offers what everyone has been screaming for; a pure sniper game.--Stuart Miles
Product Description
With the amount of ammunition players are expected to use in the average shooting game, one could just as well crush enemies under the weight of their spent shells. But not so for Silent Scope, where the plan is to drop the target with one squeeze of the trigger--even at hundreds of yards away. In this game, you are a highly trained sniper with the most advanced long-range weapon available, outfitted with night-vision scope and a laser sight. You will line up your target while it's just a dot to the naked eye, then put the cross hairs on it in your long-range scope and make the kill.
In a variety of anti-terrorist missions, Silent Scope will have you working on targets as varied as camouflaged foot soldiers and Harrier jets. A meter ticks off your opportunity to fire the shot, but you can sometimes buy a little more time by ringing a shot over the target's head. Since the element of surprise is the key to your profession, you will need to learn to aim accurately and shoot quickly. Fortunately, the game includes a training mode to help you do just that.

dull, dull, dull....as mentioned before, this game is boring, you dont move, just move the scope and shoot - thats it! why anyone needs to be 15 to play it is madness...For PS2 expectations its really bad. Graphics are not bad for the enemy, but i had bought it thinking of Goldeneye on N64 - a superb game, thinking it might be in a similar style, but permanently sniping...sadly disappointed, i would have got more entertainment watching my money burn....

It's really not very good, this game. All you do is move a cursor with the analogue stick, press the button and Bang! the enemy's dead. Then repeat a hundred times or so.
Whilst it's a faithful translation of the arcade game, it makes for a woeful PS2 game. The story line is next to non-existent, as is the replayability : unless you are very bored, there's not much to do when you've completed the game (which will be about 1 hour after you've started it)- who really wants to play again and again just to increase your point score? Even the sniping sequence on Metal Gear Solid is better than this. There is no attempt at realism. When you get hit, you get cracked glass. The gun has no recoil. When you shoot a bad guy (all seem to be dressed as ninjas for an unknown reason) they just flash. What is the deal with that? I want to see blood and gore if I'm going to shoot someone with a powerful rifle!
Don't both with this game-if you haven't got MGS yet, get that instead. Even though its for the PSone, it's streets ahead of the drudgery.

Oh Dear, what can i say, this has to be the worst game i have played on the Playstation 2 yeah sure the graphics are okay, but isn't it all about gameplay. without the gun from the arcade the game is boring, lifeless and not much fun if i was you i'd spend your money elsewhere

The game was a bit of a dissapointment. I really thought the graphics would be better, the gameplay more interesting and the "grab" factor larger. Read more
