Silent Scope 3

As in the previous games in the series, the player primarily controls a large sniper rifle. One rather notable feature of the home console version of Silent Scope 3 is the fact that a gun controller is not featured. The arcade game, Silent Scope EX, is included in the game. The main objective is for the character to continuously head to different areas such as at the top of the building on rails as to set a specific vantage point.

While at this new vantage point, they will be tasked to silently shoot the various enemies that appear before their scope. There is a constant time limit, and killing enemies adds time. After the first mission is completed, the player has the freedom to choose if they are allowed to either lock on to their enemy or not. R1 and L2 can also be useful by changing the player's set vantage point.

The game opens with Falcon raiding a drug smuggling ring at a harbor. He also battles with Cobra once again. The reason for Falcon working with Marine Colonel Robert is that the terrorists have kidnapped cloning researcher Dr. Scott, and hope to use that cloning to set off a genocide plot.

Falcon's objective is to capture the terrorist cells. He first heads to a research lab to rescue hostages that are meant to work with Dr. Scott and fights a flying assassin named Mosquito. The terrorists try to retake the weapons that were seized at the port out to sea, but Falcon intervenes and shoots down an armed plane piloted by Smith.

Silent Scope 3 received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40.
