Product Description

Product Description

With the amount of ammunition players are expected to use in the average shooting game, one could just as well crush enemies under the weight of their spent shells. But not so for Silent Scope, where the plan is to drop the target with one squeeze of the trigger--even at hundreds of yards away. In this game, you're a highly trained sniper with the most advanced long-range weapon available, outfitted with night-vision scope and a laser sight. You'll line up your target while it's just a dot to the naked eye, then put the cross hairs on it in your long-range scope and make the kill.

In a variety of antiterrorist missions, Silent Scope will have you working on targets as varied as camouflaged foot soldiers and Harrier jets. A meter ticks off your opportunity to fire the shot, but you can sometimes buy a little more time by ringing a shot over the target's head. Since the element of surprise is the key to your profession, you'll need to learn to aim accurately and shoot quickly. Fortunately, the game includes a training mode to help you do just that.

3.0 out of 5 stars intresting sniper game, March 25, 2001

This review is from: Silent Scope (Video Game)

i think this game is o.k. it's certainly not as fun as playing it in the arcade with a giant sniperrifle with a t.v. screen in the "scope". the game is extremely hard because it's hard to make the right shot with a really sensitive joystick.the gameplay is not all to good becaus there is only like 2 paths to choose besides training. some parts of the storyline are also pretty lame. who would sneak into a mansion using a sniper rifle to take down your enemies? a little bit fun to see how far your friends can get into the game but without the "quarters" like the arcade it's impossible to get to the end. good graphics, but not enough game. i hate to bash a video game, so i won't. The game is fun to wath with your friends, but there isn't to much to do in the game itself. please click whether this info was useful or not. thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a snipe game, November 24, 2000

Finally! I've waited for ever for there to be a sniping game! This is just the ticket! This is one of the better console conversions ive seen, though, nothing beats the arcade gun. And thats the ONLY problem, no gun. Dont get this game unless you are VERY good with the DC controler or have a DC gun, otherwise you will be disapointed in the results. When i bought it i didnt have a gun but was OK with the controler so it was still fun, but oh my gosh how much better the gun makes it! So yea, its a great game but if your getting it for yourself or someone else get a gun as well!

This review is from: Silent Scope (Video Game)

I have played Silent Scope a little bit, and I enjoy the graphics and the different senarios. One of the main reasons why I purchased the game was so that I had another game in which to use my light gun on (besides House of the Dead 2 which is a great game with the light gun), but I found out that the light gun doesn't work with the game. I was very disappointed. I was mislead into thinking that this first person shooter would allow me to use the gun, but it does not. Maybe it is the gun (but it works fine on HOTD2), I am not sure. I would be interested in hearing if other people had the same problem.
