Released in 2004 for the Xbox game console, it brings together the four previous Silent Scope games, Silent Scope (1999), Silent Scope 2 (2000), Silent Scope EX (2001) and Silent Scope 3 (2002), while adding additional levels, story branches, and features. The player is a professional, government-supported sniper charged with foiling different terrorist attacks.

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[3]
While the arcade version of Silent Scope received praise for its unique peripheral (players used a model sniper rifle attached to the cabinet), this novelty did not translate into the console version, a fact which reviewers made strong mention of. Most reviews describe the game as mediocre, and attractive only to fans of the core series.[10] Other reviewers noted that, while technically four different games, Silent Scope Complete falls victim to repetitive gameplay. Each mission is essentially the same, varying only in scenery and motive.[7]
