The game truely is a must have for people wanting to do something other than sit alone and play with their PSPs. This game actually gets you interacting with people and has re-introduced me back into online gaming. Something that I've given up on back with the release of Tribes 2 for the PC (about 5 years ago). Basically, online games back then lacked the refinement that Socom FTB has and I'm simply amazed by that.

With an easy to pick up control system and plenty of weapon options it is a very well rounded game. I can get into the same things everyone else has said already about this game but I'd rather gripe and moan about why it's not a 100% perfect game.

• Even though the controls are good it would have been nice to be able to change them if one so desired.
• Short campaign with 14 stages.
• Graphics are pretty low tech but then again that's better than low framerates.

Basically if you ignore my petty little gripes above you got a solid 95% game with an amazing multiplayer setup. Then you get to the headset which isn't part of the game but it has made me mad enough to mention.

• You need your remote in order to use the headset. I found this out after I misplace my old remote forcing me to purchase a new one.
• Cord is black, my remote is white. Come on Sony, whats up with that?
• Headset didn't come with the game. I payed $35 for the game ($5 coupon rocked) and I payed $20 for the headset. I'd rather have seen a set of both for $50.
• Headset to me isn't comfortable. I'm in the process of making a new one. I've seen a few people online turn their old Xbox headsets into one that works with the PSP. Nothing too hard if you have a soldering iron.

Aside from all the griping the headset is still cool and I hope they adopt it for future games.

If I were to include the headset as part of the game review I'd be giving this game a 90% but it truely deserves better and I'm proud to give it a smooth 95.
