This is a whole lotta Silent Scope! Similar to Grand Theft Auto, this series is coming to the Xbox in a value-packed form, with one disc that encompasses the entirety of the SS experience, including Silent Scope, Silent Scope 2: Dark Silhouette, Silent Scope 3, and the Silent Scope EX arcade version. Basically, this will keep your trigger finger busy for a long time. I've always appreciated the franchise's gameplay, especially the way it's accessible to those who don't have the cash to spend on little-used gun peripherals. However, this bargain does come with a hidden cost – no visual enhancements have been made for the Xbox port. For this reason, these games are looking very archaic by today's standards. Still, three games for $39.99 is a great deal for shooter fans – I just don't expect Complete to bring in many new converts to the fold.

EXCELLENT arcade/adrenaline fun,
By Robert Ruffo (Old Montreal, Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silent Scope Complete (Video Game)
Reviewers have been tepid about this title, but reveiwers do not play videogames the way many of us do. For reviewers, videogames are serious business. For me, and, I would imagine, many others, games are supposed to be simple fun.Silent Scope provides oodles of it. Not much thinking, just fast, fast, tight, well designed action, with a cool scope-in, scope-out dynamic that actually maybe does require some strategy. A classic of the level of House of The Dead 1& 2. I play without a gun, and with just the controller, it's a blast. It would be worth the money if all you got was one game, but you get THREE FULL ARCADE GAMES, PLUS BONUS GAMES. Most gun games suffer from low longevity, but it would be very hard to imagine anyone finishing this title in under 30 hours. Very, very addictive and cool. Varied action, humour, branching paths... Sure, the graphics are not at par with the best of XBOX, but they're glitch free, and designed with a wink and a chuckle, and some environments actually look pretty good and do contain OK polygon counts and that. Bottom line, if you're tired of games that are so complicated they feel like jobs, so complicated they lack focus and direction, get this now. - P.S. - I set difficulty at 6 which offers optimal "resistance"- I recommend doing that and leaving everything else at default values, except for turning on auto-save, and turning off branching paths in Silent Scope 1 (the surprise of which path you'll randomly get adds to re-play.) Each game has its own options set.

Maximum FUN,
By Dave (BURBANK, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silent Scope Complete (Video Game)
The game it self has four games in it 1,2,3 and EX but if you really want to get the enjoyment out of the game pick up the light rifle. it not onle makes targeting and shooting easier but it also feels like your right in the situation.

Silent Scope Done Right,
By Chris (Washington, D.C. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silent Scope Complete (Video Game)
I played Silent Scope in the arcade. When it came out on PS2 I was dissapointed that it was not light gun compatiable. Now Konami has corrected it's mistake by making the X box version light gun compatiable. You get 3 great games in one package. I heard that the Silent Scope Light Rifle is horrible. If you are having problems calibrating it, go to your funcoland and get a pelican brand name extension. This solves the problem. As far as the light rifles performance, It is good. The kickback stinks,but who cares about kickback. It is fun to point the rifle at the tv and blast away at terrorists. I am so thrilled that Konami has brought all of the excitiment of 3 of its contemporary arcade games to x box. If you are a fan of arcade games but don't want to waste your money at the arcade, get this collection immeidatly!
