A DIFFERENT TYPE OF FPSFeb 03, 2009
By J. caban The graphics are good, not great. The control set-up is good, not great. Online play is good, not great, due to the b.s. you have to agree to, in order to get to online play.
BUT! What is great about this game is that its not the typical run and gun game. The maps are large, the corners, second floors, hill tops, and hinden corners, are vast! You best be tactical, I mean really tactical on how you get around. You got to know when to move and when to sit on a tactical location...and be careful...someone can always be waiting around the corner. If your a true hunter of large game in the forest, you'll love this game; but if your a run and gun type, skip this one.

Great Online gameFeb 07, 2009
By Muhammad Khan I just purchased this game a few days ago even though I heard it still had a lot of issues. It will take up quite a bit of space on your hard drive, roughly 3 gbs, luckly I have a 250gb hdd. First off I didn't notice any lag at all, and I couldn't find any issues with this game at all. If you're a fan of great graphics, than this game is not for you, but the gameplay is superb. You do have to have some sort of strategy before you get the mission started. If you decide to run and gun you will probably get shot and killed, there is no respawning either, so you have to make sure you stay alive. Usually what my team does, we usually stick in packs of 2 or 3 just in case we need backup. Also I really like the fact that almost every socom player has a headset, and people actually do use it while playing socom. The headset comes in really handy especially if you decide to travel in packs. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys realistic shooters. Feel free to add me to you're PSN friends list if you wanna play socom PSN ID: solid_snake3656

Worth OwningAug 13, 2010

First things first. The CONS: There's no actual game. You just play against other players on a handful of online maps. It takes some trial and error to understand how to play well and find the kind of rooms you like. This can be frustrating, as you often end up playing with pros at first that kill you over and over.
With that out of the way though, this really isn't a bad game. It's actually my favorite online shooter. Most of the bad vibe surrounding this game was due to how much this game sucked when it was released. Patches have been released that make this thing perform light years better than it did. Third person is simply more fun when it comes to playing against real people and not computer AI. And these maps don't really give unfair advantage to anyone. It's hard to set up shop as a sniper and expect that no one will track you down. They'll come at you from all angles.
My advice: If you want to like this game (by which I mean kick ass at this game), then get online with one of your ps3 owning friends and create rooms for just the two of you to get a feel for the controllers, the guns and the maps. Because this really is a good game. Like with any online game though; it's fun grows in proportion to the number of people you know and can play against. At the end of the day, there's really nothing like shooting your best friend in the face with a shotgun and you both end up living to laugh about it.
