Silent Scope 3

The next sharpshooter in the fantastic series includes the arcade hit Silent Scope EX and a new PS2-only game.

The definitive sniping series once again takes aim on the PS2, resulting in another deadly fun outcome.

Trigger Happy
The Silent Scope series centers on perhaps the most stressful yet sought after job in law enforcement and the military: a sniper. Indeed, the third installment of Silent Scope captures the intense and exhilarating feeling of sniping a bad guy with a high-powered rifle. The game contains all the missions of the arcade version Silent Scope EX and a separate, more challenging story exclusive to the PS2. But like its predecessors for home consoles, Silent Scope 3 doesn?t use the slick light-gun found in the arcades. Still, using the analog stick to aim, a button to zoom in and out, and a simple press to fire your weapon is all it takes to play.

Sign of a Marksman
Although not innovative, Silent Scope 3?s visuals are still solid?and mature. Deathly animations, gun-slinging bad men, and plenty of ruthless masked terrorists abound in each level. The arcadey graphic style, though, helps make the game more of a fantasy shooter than a realistic challenge. Even the corny voices go over the top, yet the sound of your gun popping at each trigger press is music to the ears.

Silent Scope 3 doesn?t necessarily revolutionize the gaming experience?the game does, however, offer a fine continuation to the already classic series. Plus, with an entirely new exclusive game and the complete arcade EX version, sniper wannabes will have their scopes filled for a long time.
