(More customer reviews)PS2 owners have been anticipating both online game play and this game for awhile now and it's nice to see both finally surface. SOCOM is an offline AND Online game.
SOCOM: takes full advantage of online gameplay, featuring a 16 multiplayer mode, 3 gametypes in 10 online multiplayer maps that were created specifically for online play, persistent servers, and great clan support. The 10 online maps (FROSTFIRE, DEATHTRAP, NIGHT STALKER, BLOOD LAKE, RAT'S NEST, DESERT GLORY, ABANDON, THE RUINS, BLIZZARD, BITTER JUNGLE) with each having a particular genre (either suppression-destroy the other team, demolition-blow up other teams base or hostage extraction). At max, 16 people can play at one time, 8 on each team...
The maps are extraordinary detailed from rain falling, water, trees and grass...to wonderful sunsets. Weapon selection is adequate from machine guns, silenced assault rifles to sniper rifles. You have 3 equipment slots which can be filled with grenades (HE, frag or smoke), claymores, 2x ammo.
The game is only available to broadband users for online play because of the rich gameplay, which should significantly cut the lag time so many other games have a problem with. Even better, SOCOM is free to play online. In online play you can also use the create a clan option to create your own clan. You can also join a clan.
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs is perhaps one of the most lifelike FPS/3rd person to develop, with Sony using actual SEALs for consulting purposes. The missions, movements, tactics and SEALs themselves are true to life and unparalleled. The weapons, which you can carry two of at a time, are realistically accurate and react to real-life factors like fatigue, movement and weapon recoil.
But for the majority, the most anticipated feature of SOCOM is the headset that is compatable with the game ... It boasts voice recognition capabilities that will come in quite handy during the game, as it's hard to shoot down terrorists while typing on a keyboard. Shout to your teammates for help and they'll (hopefully) come to your aide, all with minimal lag time. During single-player mode, enemies will also react to your vocal commands.
Overall, this is an excellent game. It's fun, exciting, and has great replay value. Dial-up(56k) users will be disappointed that the game is only available to broadband users for online play, but that feature will only help the game, making it much more enjoyable to play over the internet without huge delays and lags. But fear not dialup users, the game has an entire offline game as well as online. In single player offline mode you can tell your A.I teammates what to do via the headset thats included. For example, if you see an enemy through your brinoculars but you don't have a sniper to do the job, you can tell your teammates to surround the enemy. Cool stuff, huh? In single player mode you also get to use some different vehicles such as a helicopter, a boat, a snowmobile, and more. So if you can't go online with the game, you can still play the game proper offline, but the online mode is just so much fun.
