Their scope if huge, from Metal Gear Sold 2: Substance to NBA Starting Five to Disney Golf and Evolution Skateboading.But something happens when you make this many games.
Given the size and productivity of the company's output, the statistical average of high quality games versus, say, less than average games, is simply going to be lower, due to the company's huge outreach and, not surprisingly, its demanding financial expectations. Where does fit into the equation? What is all this financial mumbo-jumbo? The arcade series that took light gun shooting and gave it a sniper rifle has always been good twitch fun in the arcades. It's easy to plunk down a quarter or four when you lift up that nice, heavy faux sniper rifle and one by one pick off evil polygonal terrorists. It feels real good. The scope gives a nifty, high-intensity magnification relative to the usually large arcade screen, and provides that perfect ratio of distance versus close proximity.
But the PlayStation 2 version of the first two Silent Scope games has never felt the same way, and unfortunately, Silent Scope III is no different. The sense of scale isn't quite right, the quarter-dropping tension/thrill isn't there, and most importantly, the lack of a sniper rifle in-hand on the PlayStation 2 version literally strips the player of the visceral, physical sensation of snipe-shooting.

Or that they're less fun at home than in the arcades; or that they were missing a giant piece of the puzzle (the peripheral); or that they're extreme short-lived experiences. For Konami, in the big picture of its worldwide operations, bringing the third game in the series, Silent Scope III, back to PlayStation 2 seems like a no-brainer. Gameplay Therein lies the biggest Problem. Silent Scope III, in every visible aspect of its existence, is exactly the same game as Silent Scope and Silent Scope: Dark Silhouette. It's a formulaic re-issue of been-there-done-that gameplay, which has not in any way blossomed or progressed since the first Silent Scope unit hit the arcades.
The question that begs to be answered is: If you own the first or even the second game in the series, why buy the third? Despite the two modes of play -, which was specifically designed for the home version and proves to.
