Often times I read reviews on PSP games complaining about the PSP's graphics, and how bland certain textures and environments are. However, its important to look at the gameplay. For me as a gamer, I want to play a game thats fun, regardless of its graphics. SOCOM is a great addition to the PSP's library, and it is definitely the best online PSP game that you will come across.
Like the PS2 versions of SOCOM, the single player isn't really what the hype is about. While it does have length, some great voice acting and a very involving story line, the true gem of this game comes from the online play which is so deep and exciting that you'll find you've lost countless hours of your life to this highly addictive game. I can usually control myself with games, but SOCOM took that barrier away from me.
16 player online matches involve strategy, regardless of the new auto target system which is perfectly executed, and if you've got a headset, get ready to start doing some trash talking or give out orders. Unlike the PS2 SOCOM 2, there is no weight system that will slow your character down, a feature which may or may not come to your liking when taken away.
The levels are not too small and not too big, and buildings can often add great places for defense or offense, while open terrain will have you in a modern day West Side Story. The new Captive mode has you reviving other teammates while you attempt to stop the other team reviving their own, and its really just an exciting and fun new mode that players will come to love.
Whether you know the SOCOM series or not, the PSP version of the game will definitely be on the top of everyone's list for their PSP games. As far as replay value goes, this game will have you coming back to it for a long while, so if you were ready to put down your PSP to collect dust, this game will definitely put it in its rightful redemption.
