    The D-pad tends to be a little slow and straight in responding and the joystick is a little too fast and wiggly. This can cause no end of trouble when you are trying to aim or if you or your targets are moving.

    Even though Silent Scope for the PS2 doesn't offer a gun peripheral like the arcade version (can we stress that enough?), it's still an exceptionally fun game that warrants attention.

    Not all arcade games work successfully when ported to a console; this is sadly no exception.

    Great fun while it lasts, which in most cases should wind up being as many hours as you can count on your hands.
  5. Suffers tremendously because of the control issues. Without the sniper rifle peripheral that made the arcade game a joy, Silent Scope is only a game that entertains in a brief, arcade-y way.
  6. The lack of lightgun support and the shortness of the game hurt what is otherwise a great title.
  7. If sending a single bullet through someone’s head thousands of yards away sounds like a good Friday night to you, then Silent Scope is right up your alley (and therapy might not be a bad idea, either).

    It's a gun game without a gun, and there's really no way to get past that one glaring omission.
