In my humble opinion, the Silent Scope arcade game has been Konami s highest moment to date.
Lets look at the reasons it was a success.
Firstly, it actually included a sniper rifle complete with LCD zoom. Second, oh, it included a sniper rifle. Third, fourth, fifth you get the picture. Only people like you or I who weren t simply gasping at its genius in the presence of four beer-soaked friends, actually cared about the game s pace, style and, at the risk of evoking a P45, scope. Bringing it home was always going to be tricky.
