I played one level of this game on the demo disc to OPM magazine and I was quite impressed. Lightning-paced action, unusual attack methods (bombs), good graphics, and a comparably old-school approach that's rarely found these days.

Silent Bomber isn't all good: OPM's review mentioned "awful voice acting" and I thought it wouldn't matter, but at this level of ineptitude it did. I don't want to save my teammates, especially that "Tim" guy who doesn't want to shut up. So the story for this game's a total bust. Controls are also not as good as they should be; when too many enemies appear onscreen, the computer will sacrifice your button response; I can't tell you how many times I've been hit just because the slowdown prevented me from detonating bombs I've already set.

Other than that, a good game, fairly mindless, with its unique charms. I just wish they would've worked on the story and character aspects if they were going to include any story at all.

Silent Bomber is like a cold ice pack down your spine on a hot day - one of the most goddamn playable, challenging, fresh and ADDICTIVE games on the PS. Alas, it would seem that this gem will fade into obscurity and never get the deserved attention it should and become a cult classic. Which would be a travesty because the control system is so tight, the graphics are nice - not mindblowing but nothing to complain about, the explosions are HUGE and totally excellent (which make up for the "really rubbish" voices in the game), but the gameplay... ah, the gameplay. Sweet as nectar is the gameplay. Like the total opposite of Metal Gear Solid because blowing stuff up instead of sneakin' around is about 99% of the game. This may sound pretty lame, but it ain't. The satisfaction of blowing everything up when you are totally outnumbered is immense and quite disturbing as a result. Silent Bomber is big, bad and very very cool. Check it out.

Silent Bomber is definetly one the coolest games I've ever played, but it's also the hardest. It offers incredible (and nearly impossible at times) missions, good storyline, and great CGI movies. The characters voices can be somewhat lame and the main character, Jutah's, appearance in the movies borders on shemale. The worst thing about the game is the difficulty. I can't beat the last guy even with the new gameshark cdx! It does offer amazing vr training and cool enemies, though. Like I said, experts only!

This is the best game I ever played on the Play Station game counsil. I never realy liked shooting games, but mines? Thats a hole difrent story. Silent Bomber has no guns what so ever. You can only usu mines to blw up your targets. It's more then just run and gun. It's blow and go!

About 10 years ago, I played the demo for this game and loved it. I gave the demo to a friend who wouldn't stop begging me to borrow it because he thought the game was so cool. I gave it to him, and never got it back. Anyway, life went on and then I thought to myself, "all those great Playstation classics that I lost, I need to get them back." So this game came to mind and I was really pleased with it even after so much time had pass. A really innovative platformer, Silent Bomber is fun and challenging. I'm in the process of completing it so I can play the other classics I lost. Great throwback game if you feel the need to take a break from current generation (PS3) games. I got 8 more PS classics to go.

What I like about it most is just well all you do is go around blowing up things loved it. If I have a bad day at work I can come home and take it out on the game. Ok so the voices suck, but the idea of just blowing things up is great...

"Silent Bomber"....Save your $. This game is a waste of time. If you have a life don't even rent this game. If somebody gave this game away for free I wouldn't accept it. This game is so easy you can beat it in 2 hours tops. It has the worst story line created. Now I'm like most people and like multiple games, but this one sucked big time. Please listen to me and do not waste your time on "Silent Bomber."
