Lead a ruthless terrorist hunt as a sniper in this sequel to Konamis famous arcade hit. In the tradition of Namcos shooting games (Time Crisis 2), the principle of SS2: Dark Silhouette is to move a sight (that of your sniper rifle) on the screen and eliminate all the enemies present in the allotted time . It is possible to zoom in or out at will as in reality and even temporarily deactivate the zoom to allow a better visualization of the whole scene. Unlike the previous episode released on PS2 and Dreamcast, the latter offers to choose his character between two available, depending on which the course of the game is slightly modified (the branches are not the same). A two player mode is also accessible via the iLink cable to play simultaneously with another person in cooperation or duel mode. But this is not the only novelty. Accessories such as a thermal vision system and X-ray glasses are now part of the game and really add to the pleasure of the game. Finally, additional modes (Boss Battle, Shooting range, Duel ...) are also present and as such give an appreciable variety and lifespan. If Silent Scope 2 is still not playable with a light gun (unlike Namco titles), the many settings (viewfinder movement speed, zoom magnification, etc.) added in the pad configuration and the possibility of use a mouse on the USB port (your PC mouse will do the deal if it meets this standard) make it quite accessible. --Vincent Maulon
