Original Game
Silent Scope 3 for the PlayStation 2 is an adaptation of the arcade series of gun games. The arcade versions of Silent Scope all feature an elaborate sniper rifle-shaped light gun that you use to shoot at various targets from long range. A small screen is actually mounted in the scope of the gun, giving you a functional close-up of a small portion of the main display, and simulating what it's like to shoot from long range. Of course, when the game series was brought home to consoles, no rifle came with it, which inherently removes a great deal of what made the arcade series popular and fun. Relegated to gamepad controls, Silent Scope 3 still makes for a decent adaptation of the arcade series, and offers a sometimes enjoyable but extremely brief experience.
Silent Scope 3 actually features two games in one--Silent Scope EX, a direct adaptation of the arcade title, and Silent Scope 3, a game created solely for the PlayStation 2. Silent Scope EX contains a level progression similar to that in previous games. Your character moves around on rails to set vantage points, where enemies pop up, and if you don't shoot them fast enough, they start firing back. Clear them all out, and you get rated based on your accuracy and speed in bringing the enemies down. You are then often presented with a choice of which level section to go through next, though all paths lead to the same place at the end of the game.
The Silent Scope 3 game, on the other hand, introduces a new level-progression structure. After the first level is cleared, you are free to select any level or mission you wish to accomplish next, though they all must be cleared before the game is finished. While previous installments in the series have put a huge sense of time pressure onto the player, some missions in both Silent Scope 3 and EX stress patience and accuracy. The game will present you with levels containing incredibly difficult shots, but you can take all the time you need to make them. Miss one, however, and suddenly your enemies will become aware of your presence and will swarm all over the place, making your life very difficult. As in the rest of the series, health can be regained by locating a woman hidden once or twice in each level and keeping your scope on her for a short period of time.
