My eyes aren't so good anymore. After extended playtime with Silent Scope Complete, sitting 3 feet away from the television, scanning for targets the size of dust mites, my peepers gave out before my thumbs did. Next went my mind—blown to smithereens by the excruciatingly bad voice acting and absurd cinemas (which show their low-budget arcade roots all too well).
I actually enjoyed the gameplay, though. It has smooth controls and intense moments, and it's as solid as any sniping moment found in any other shooter. Just watch out for that crazy difficulty spike that happens about halfway through each title—and don't forget the Visine.
