If it has unlimited continues, it might be a tad too easy. The only concern at this point is that the game has only six stages. Other levels, like the football field chase are timed where you've got to prevent the terrorists from getting away with the president's daughter (see above picture). One hit won't do them in unless you can get a good head shot. For the master marksman, there's an extra mode that disables the zoomed scope so you have to hit enemies from afar.Īt the end of each level you face a boss character. In the version we played, an outdoor shooting range had been added, accompanying the indoor range from the arcade. Konami is adding new modes of play to the home version, but these will not include levels from the newly released arcade sequel, Dark Silhouette. But there are no 'jaggies' in Silent Scope, making the PS2 and DC versions of the game look nearly identical.Īll the modes from the arcade game are there-Story, Time Attack and Shooting Range. Some of the first PS2 games ( Ridge Racer V, Tekken Tag Tournament) were without anti-aliasing, making people question the power of the system. Besides, just imagine how much a gun peripheral that had a screen in the scope would cost! In addition to sniping enemies, you can also zoom in on bikini-clad women who will replenish your life. A gun game without a gun is usually a disaster, but this setup works surprisingly well. Red or yellow indicators appear above enemies (the color depends on how big a threat they are to you), you move the scope to them and zoom in for the kill. The answer-control the scope with the analog pad, and press L1 to zoom in. The question was, how would they duplicate that experience at home? A sniper game where the gun mounted on the machine has a separate screen, allowing you to pick off targets at close range.

So when Konami released Silent Scope, it caught our attention immediately.

They're about the only games (next to racing) left anymore, and for the most part they're all the same.

Gun games have become a staple in most arcades. This is nothing new to arcade conversions, but that doesn't help this innovative game avoid rental status. The training missions help you get accustomed to the controls, but the greatest failing factor that brings Silent Scope down a notch is the fact that the game is over in no time at all. The challenges are varied, whether it be picking off bad guys lurking in windows, or pegging a terrorist running across a crowded football field carrying the president's daughter. Without a rifle to impede your progress, moving around and zooming in and out with the Dual Shock controller works just fine, although it can be awkward remembering what button does what. The easiest tactic was to look directly at the screen, following the targeting reticle and the target, and once located, to aim through the scope and fire. Now that the game has come home to the PS2, does it survive the conversion, minus the presence of a controversial peripheral like a sniper-rifle replica? Yes it does, if anything, the game is even easier, as tracking bad guys with the rifle was always a chore. If you've actually played the game, you know it was cool as hell drawing a bead on a baddie's forehead and painting the walls with him. Anyone who strolled by the rifle fitted to the dashboard usually found themselves compelled to take the sniper-sim for a go or two.

Silent Scope was a very unique arcade game.
