what happens when you take a successful arcade game and translate it to a console? success right? WRONG- in this case that is. This game was great in the arcade due to the inovative use of a rifle and scope. But when you take that away all you have is a very bad "Area 51"-esque game. This game should have never been translated to ANY console and you will notice this quickly after playing for a minute or two. The controls are sluggish and just like any other shooting game that doesn't have a gun peripherial, it gets boring FAST. Only get this game if it is the only game you can find when you are buying a PS2.

Silent scope?

This game was 10000 times better in the arcade. The playstation 2 game is kind of lame.

When I first saw this game I really wanted to get it.The bad part is theirs no light gun, but the good part is you can zoom in and out.The worst part is that when you use the d-pad it moves slower, so I use the analog.

fun... but a bit frustrating...

The gameplay is aight... it becomes more frustrating than fun, as you progress in the game...... so that's it and that's that... not really into shooting games...

Frustrating

I'm not a gamer really, but I do watch my friends play alot. My boyfriend bought his PS2 and the first game we rented was Silent Scope. I suppose I'm just not fast enough or coordinated enough to move my scope around and still shoot accurately. That darn scope is the problem...it is hard to put the sniper in the target and still shoot him before he moves. My guy beat this game in one day...he had to take a couple of breaks to let some steam out hitting his golf clubs. I have been told the arcade game is way more enjoyable. I find the "Dukes of Hazzard II: Daisy Dukes it out" to be the most enjoyable game so far...it's even one that chicks like me might enjoy...

buy at mid range

WEll, I know this games hasn't gotten killer reviews, but I want to do it a little justice. I think it is a nice game to just throw in the ps2 for a spin. Takes little effort, controls are quick to learn and when isn't it fun to cap a guy in the head and get major kudos for it?

One HUGE knock on this game is apparently it's too easy. First off I don't think so and secondly with the codes from ign.com I think the game gets remarkably more difficult with the other options available. Granted not sure worth the 50 clams, but I got for 30 and am happy to have something to else besides my EA Sports collection

This was one game that I remotely enjoyed in the arcade, but unfortunately what made the game worth its while was the gun. The gun was the whole attraction of the game, which was otherwise just a dull shoot-em-up.

But my question is why? Why repackage a game that was clearly marked for the Arcades with the extra guns and what-not. Yes, Playstation has had some success in repackaging some of the arcade games for play at home, and yes thay have made great games with shooter attributes without the gun, but if they were to re-package a shooter game where people have gotten used to using a gun in the arcade for Playstation-2, they should (and could) have gave us some sort of a gun for just a few dollars extra and at least made it worth its while.

The fun doesn't last...

The graphics are definitely awesome and the strategic choices abound, but the more I play this game, the more I wish I had a gun-type controller in my hands. Also, in a possible departure from the arcade game, the story mode could use more long-term progression using memory cards. Still, it's a good break from playing SSX and NHL 2001 all day.

MAKE SURE YOU RENT FIRST

Following my own advice I rented this game first before buying it. The game being a 5-day rental, I only kept it for a day. After 20 minutes the game becomes very, very, boring. I know this has been said many times before, but this game should have been left in the arcade.
