Silent Scope is a rail shooter video game developed by Now Production for the Game Boy Advance. It was first released on September 4, 2002. The U.S. First Family, including the President of the United States, returns from a function in Chicago, Illinois when their convoy is ambushed by terrorists. In the resulting confusion, the terrorists manage to capture the entire First Family, and are demanding the release of their leader (the dictator) in exchange for the safe return of the president.

Washington officials have decided to resolve the problem quietly, using military force. The player assists police at the scene of the kidnapping, from several high rise structures and after making a choice on tactics, the player defeats one of the terrorist leaders and manages to rescue the president’s daughter in the process. The game uses a rifle that is mounted on the console, requiring players to physically alter their position in order to shoot accurately.

In addition, the rifle’s scope displays a close-up view of a small portion of the screen, representing the sniper’s long-range view of the area where the rifle is pointed. Certain stage areas are dark and require players to use night vision scopes to spot and shoot opponents. The player can fire five shots in succession before reloading is required.
