Great Game, but way too short

This game is great if you like the training mode of shooting targets, but as for the arcade mode it is way too short. I had a great time the first few times I played it. Now it is boring because there you do the same missions over and over. RENT THIS GAME BEFORE YOU BUY IT OR YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!

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.

When I played this game in the arcade, I really got a kick out of it. When I first got my PS2, this was one of my first games. Actually it was the first I played. The game is very disappointing. First of all, unlike the gun feature at the arcade, using the joystick makes scoping in on targets difficult at best. This is even more true when shooting at bosses. The sound was nothing special. The graphics were ok. These short-falls in the game would have been ok if the gameplay was there. So, if I could go back in time, I'd rent it and never rent it again. The only good thing I can say about this game is that it is worth 18 bucks for trade-in on another title.

Play once and trash, better yet RENT

This game .... When I buy a game I want to be able to play it over and over. But with this game if you play it once you know all there is about it. The snipers are always in the same spot, doing the same thing for the same amount of time. If you like arcade games like this rent don't buy this game it's a waste of [money].

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...

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.

where's the zapper gun????

Silent Scope cannot be played using a control pad. The "scope" moves so slowly, and it is rather frustrating to look for enemies while being shot sixty million times because it takes twelve years to move the gun scope around to find targets. A good PS2 zapper, if included, would make this game 4 or even 5 stars. The graphics are crisp and clear, the sound is good, but none of that matters when your game is over in ten seconds because you can't look around fast enough.

Silent scope?

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

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.
