Summary: Must have FPS for PSP Online and Off

SOCOM FTB is definitely a "must have" game. Theres not much else to say really.

This is a very well put together game. The controls are fairly well done considering the PSP's lack of a second analog stick. The graphics are great for being something you can take with you on the train. Sound is well done. The missions are a good mixture of elimination, capture, espionage, and stealth.

Controls
The control layout is fairly well done, although I still have yet to figure out how to use the under-barrel mounted grenade launchers. The Right shoulder lock on and left shoulder strafe buttons work great. I'm pretty satisfied with the control, and I'm a hardcore "keyboard and mouse is the best and controllers cause my death in FPS games" type of guy.

Missions
There's a good mixture of killing (or surpressing) the bad guys, stealthing your way into locations, sabotaging generators, disarming bombs, finding and capturing personel, photographing conversations, and others I have yet to come across. It's definately not just a "shoot everything in sight" sort of game.

Online Play
Online play is great! I've been trying out the Infrastructure mode, and while I haven't yet made much use of the mic, and neither has anyone else it seems, playing online with up to 15 others is a blast. There are a few things I'm starting to hate, but it's not the games fault. Occasionally you get into a game where it becomes an RPG versus AT-4 battle. Guys will find a spot and just sit there RPG'ing and lobbing grenades, which is not only very unrealistic, but sucks when the RPG can kill you through 20 feet of rock. Other than that, the online play is fabulous!

Conclusion
I'd have to say this is a very well put together game, and a definite must buy. Did I say that already? If you own a PSP, you owe it to yourself to go get SOCOM FTB. If you don't, you should think about getting a PSP and SOCOM FTB!
