This is the only game on the PSP that has left me with the motivation to write a review. If by some crazy reason you havn't picked up a copy (I live in the UK and still bought it) I really must advise you to buy it. If you live in the UK, as the game isn't out yet, and won't be for a long time, you really should consider importing it.
Graphics - 85
Not the best by PSP standard but I'm sure the developers did this to allow smooth online (and offline) play. They still look great though, with detailed environments and good player models.
Gameplay - 90
I thought the gameplay would take a hit due to the auto aim direction of the game but it still feels and plays like Socom on the PS2. If you like no-brain shooters or you want something more tactics based you can all find inner peace with this. You can shoot your way through the medium campaign or think through the hard, it really does have something for everyone.
Sound - 95
The ear candy rocks, nuff said.
Lifespan 40+ hrs
This is where Socom takes off and leaves GTA behind. Both have similar length single player campains but Socom's multiplayer, good god. This is my first taste of online on the PSP and I am extremely impressed. Online is a wonderful experience, the load times are very good, comparable to PC games (thankfully shorter than Battlefield 2). There are ranked games for modding your stats or non-ranked for some friendly(ish) action. Then there are the different modes: suppression, captive, free for all, etc. Put simply the online is amazing.
thxs for the review i am goin to get socom tmorrow at Eb games anyways the only playing how do u communicate in the game with your squad and do u need to have the headset to play for mulitiplayer???/
you don't have to have the headset to play online. but online is the only place you'll be able to use it. Single player campaign doesn't support voice communication between you and your teammate. But using it online definitly makes it tons easier to get a strategy going.
i know i got it yesterday wow i loved it but the problems is i have troubles with campaing but defentely a game to buy it is so fun in the internet wow i cant beleive the graphics is so good this is top grade stuff buy while it last ppl buy
Yeah this game is prittyyyy sweet, bought it yesterday. this is most def a game every one gots to buy. now this is my first first person shooter and im pleased with it. and just to let you know you need to up date your psp to version 2.0 but the update comes on the disk so it shouldn't be a problem... although there have been some psps that just cant up date (just a small little bug) so if you know your system cant update then dont buy the game it would be a big wast of money...
