If you are absolutely in love with the arcade version of this game, then by all means, go out and buy this. But, if you're buying it as a good PS2 game, save your fifty bucks for a game that really showcases the PS2's power.
The graphics fall very short of the total capability of what a PS2 can do. They are blocky, and do not look at all real.
The game play is very difficult. The game was orginally made to be played with a sniper rifle in an arcade. When you try to play a game like that on PS2, the game controller is no where near like playing the game with a scope.
Also, since this game is from an arcade, the gameplay is very static. You will play through the exact same mission with the enimies in the exact same place over and over. Needless to say, it gets very booring.
Then, to try and make the game more "replayable" which it isn't, the creators of this game added bonus modes. The so-called bonus modes allow you to practice your shooting skills. These too have poor graphics and non fun gameplay. The music behind the bonus missions gets very old after only a couple replays of it. Read: there is only one song.
The game has very little replay value. With only about two different modes to play in: Arcade and bonus, you see most of the game pretty quickly and it gets old.
So, don't buy this game unless you are completely in love with the arcade version. The graphics are sub PS2 par, the game play is aweful along with the terrible control system. Save your money and wait for better titles.
Don't even rent it

I bought this game because of these reviews and all I can say is too many [people] reviewed the arcade game and not the PS2 game. The Arcade game is great. Worthless controls makes this one not even worth renting. The game is average to dull until the first time you end up in a helicoptor at which point the controls simply leave you helpless. In the arcade the same scene meant a challenging headshot that made you feel like you could work for the CIA if you made it. On the PS2 it's a frustrating attempt to push too many buttons and still not be able to move your scope quickly or accurately enough in sniper mode. When you finally make the shot it makes you feel like you're justified in throwing the disk out the window. ....
