A good weekend rental

When I played this game in the arcades, I thought it was a blast so naturally I was looking forward to the ps2 version. It's basically arcade perfect, except of course without the gun. Still,even without the gun, this game is fun and even addictive,if only for a short while.Unfortanately, it also becomes a little dull and repettive and at times you'll find yourself wondering "why would they release a gun game with no gun?" I can't reccommend purchasing this game, as any veteran gamer should beat it in a few hours. Like the headline says ,a good weekend rental.

Great game! Awful on console!

Since Silent Scope 2 was out in the arcades and if there are two arcade machines of Silent Scope 2, you would be able to play with your buddies or even duel with them.

Now with Konami's release of Silent Scope for DC and PS2, it was perhaps the biggest let down from Konami's game. Dont get me wrong... Metal Gear Solid was the greatest and still the greatest game! Even using the PSG1 was more fun than playing silent scope.

If you really liked the arcade versions of Silent Scope and Dark Sillowette, the console versions would just be a little let down since you cant use the large sniper gun. (although it would be a novelty to have!!)

My reason for only one star is the bad transition from Arcade to Console.

gotta find a arcade machine

i love the game to the extreme, even without the gun...but id give anything to find the silent scope arcade machine...the ps2 version is grand for at home and comfy shooting, but for me the thrill of the gun just heightens the experience...although unlikely to come out for the ps2 in origional format, seems how it probably would cost just as much as the console its self with parts and processor....i was thinking more along the lines of perhaps a monocular on a laser gun type system if they could pull it off..but something universal for all the shooters if possible..who knows..but in any case although limited, this game brings out the primal survival instinct in us all.. not to mention the pride of saving the day and the thrill of having the guy in your sights who doesnt even know in two secs hes gonna die...such a harsh and cruel world..muhahaha

the best game EVER

OK, I played this game in the arcade and it was the absolute best game I had ever played! Graphically this game was supreme!Smoothe round surfaces,laser sights near your head, it is the closest thing you can get without being there. It is one of the main reasons I'm buying PS2. Preorder this game now! Be cause it is certain to be sold out!

I got this game with my ... pal ps2 and it .... its cool at first (but only with a mouse, the joystick settings are terrible) but it gets boring, and it doesnt give you the arcade feeling of the cool sniper gun. the only thing that keeps me playing it are the cool secret modes for expert snipers (available in the official website)

Where's the gun again?

I'm sorry, but I still comprehend the fact that this shooting game is missing a gun. I know this is a slow sniper game, but still... Imagine playing Area 51, and all the great Sega Arcade shooting games without that big freaking gun. Besides, that, this game's great... I've tried shooting pedestrians, but was banned from doing so. Damn.

DISAPPOINTED VERY MUCH

This game is not very exciting except when you blow up the semi. It lacks gore and blood. Tooooooooooo easy. I can beat the whole game in 15 minutes.

This would be an EXCELLENT game if they'd managed to ship a light gun with a scope on it with the product.

Instead...I think it's best played at the arcade.

Arcade Game for 50 bucks only no gun

this is the exact game as you will find in the arcade only there is no gun, the best part of the game. There are only 6 levels that last about 3 minutes each. It will be fun for the first couple times you play, as is any other game, but with no new levels or features and no gun, this game is a dud. The gameplay is pretty poor to boot. buyer beware.

Junk

Pure junk. I played the game for 10 mins. Wish I could seal it back up and return it. I'd rather be playing astroids on Atari. Speaking of old systems, the graphics on this junk is similar to the old Nintendo. This junk has no business embarassing Playstation 2. I wouldn't even recommend renting it, it isn't worth the 5 bucks.
