PlayStation 2

More of the same, as once again you take on the mantle of a sniper, knocking off the naughty people with your precision and skill. And once again the complaint is that there's no real gun (as there is in the arcade version), although this Mark II version has a slightly more sophisticated feel to it, allowing you to set up your scope to fit in with your own preferences.
This begins in London, so there's a nice little shoot-out on Tower Bridge and the surrounding area, but Silent Scope 2 is so similar to the original, there seems virtually no point in picking this one up. Not unless you like a change of scenery, anyway. (NP)

Thunderbirds

Game Boy Advance

The situation is desperate, time is scarce and there's only one way to unveil the Hood's plot - a new International Rescue agent is required! Here's your chance to take charge of the Thunderbirds' craft, joining the lovely Lady Penelope, Parker, Brains and the Tracy family in their quest to thwart evil. I'm afraid puppets on strings aren't really my thang and that Brains is a complete plonker.
Nevertheless, if you're a diehard fanatic then this baby has it all: mysteries, perilous rescue missions, over 30 levels across seven environments, including a 3-D Space Shooter, utilising the fire-power of Thunderbird 3. (HM)
