SO SOAug 02, 2010 This game is pretty solid the graphic arent good for now standerds but it has good fight action and story but it is hard to shoot at first overal pretty solid game and i reccomend if you like fps
Great ClassicJan 25, 2010 Combined Assault had more online game packs but this was still fun. The offline play was easier but still enjoyable.
Another Terrific Game!Dec 08, 2009 What more can I say, this is another action packed exciting game, at least that is how I see this game.
You can fight your battles in the safety of your bedroom or family room. And I am glad it is just a game,and not real life.
These men are highly trained,deadly killers,that are suppose to protect us from the evil forces that are very real as we all
know.
Thanks
ExcellentOct 30, 2009 Even though the Socom game series has been getting good reviews for quite a few years I had never given the series the time of day until now. Socom 3 is the first Socom game I have played and I got to say its quite enjoyable. Its obvious the developers poored a lot of time into this game and it works and looks great.
The missions are varied,fun and can be a challenge. There is a great selection of weapons and you can even drive vehicles and change the position on the vehicle you want to be. Say for instance if you want to man the gun mount on the back of a vehicle. One thing I was surprised about the online community is still pretty large and when I got on there was over 900 people playing in varied rooms. The biggest downer was getting things set up and I am not for sure why but I had troubles getting my account to register. I only got in on a few games and I did not experience any lag. The hard part is entering a game room. You might be asking yourself why. I am not sure myself to be honest. Either the games I was entering on were either over or when I got in they were close to being over. Some required passwords. Also a lot of them require map packs to be purchased which is fine. I am not going to invest in any map packs because I do not play the ps2 much online.
The graphics are a real treat on the eyes even on the aging ps2. Fire effects are quite nice and the character models look pretty sharp. The CGI cutscenes are well animated and have a life all there own. The sound is pretty good also. Controls work really well. My only gripes were my squad at times either did not do what I told them or they would get hung up on a wall or building. Whether the developers were lazy or did not have time to fix this portion of the game I do not know. There was also a bit of slowdown in places but it was few and far between.
It is really hard not to recommend Socom 3. It is a great game that really does the majority of things right. My only real gripe is when my squad decides to be stupid and get hung up walls or buildings. Other than the few gripes I have this is truly a top tier game. Granted the ps2 is nearing the end of its lifespan its hard to argue the fact it was one of the greatest systems of all time and this game is shining example of the sheer quality of not only the system but the games as well. I hope this has been helpful as this game is awesome.
Still Fun After All These YearsJul 17, 2009 SOCOM 3 US Navy Seals PS2 sends you deep into combat in a variety of large maps with varied terrain. You get a mix of vehicles, land, sea, and more to fight your way through.
The game is aimed towards realism. There aren't cartooney characters or bright colors here. Often you can barely make your character out against the background. You work your way stealthily towards enemies, trying to snipe them without being seen. The background music themes are generally soft so you can hear the sound of approaching enemies.
The graphics are really rather stellar for the PS2. From floating clouds to drifting dust clouds, from scraggles of grass to gritty textures of buildings, you get the sense that you're in a war zone. I really think they did the best they could with the PS2, in portraying a natural environment.
The maps are quite large and intricate. This is great for both single player and multiplayer purposes. Often a game is well geared towards one area or another, but SOCOM does a good job pleasing both sets of players.
Some of the key combinations can be really challenging, especially for newcomers to the SOCOM series. Trying to get your troops to get into a vehicle with you - or heck, figuring out how to get YOU into a vehicle, can be challenging. This is a game that takes a bit of time to get the hang of.
But that being said, there is a lot of wealth in here that can get quite addictive once you've immersed yourself. The environment is that compelling.
Well recommended for fans of combat / fighting games, even in modern times. The graphics might not be as shiny as current games, but the gameplay still stands strong. Well recommended.
