I sure hope Socom 4's multiplayer is better than the single player.

I'm not impressed with the single player at all. Feels like GoW only really cheesy and I sure hope the multiplayer is a lot better.

I agree that the SP is hot garbage. One of the least original and most frustratingly linear shooters I've ever played, and it's all backed by a God awful story. If you're hoping the MP will save the game, I think you'll be disappointed. Especially if the beta was any indication of quality and the reviews about it being broken are correct.

The MP is just as bad if not worse.

I hope not. I don't buy many PS3 games so I'm going to be really upset if it's not decent.

To me the single player just feels so pointless. Move from one point to the next killing stupid AI just does not cut it for me.

Who knows you may end up liking it. I've been a hardcore fan of the franchise since socom 1. And I don't like the direction they went with, with this game.

How many days ago did you buy it? I would return it man. That game doesn't deserve your $60, the online isn't good neither.

TL;DR: Game sucks, return ASAP.

I thought it was. The SP was boo boo in my mind, but I enjoyed the MP during the beta and the one day that I could play it.

I just want to try the online to see if I like it or not. Does it feel like the last Ghost Recon xbox 360 games? Is it more like Confrontation?

This PSN crap is starting to piss me off to be honest.

The online is a mix of COD, gears of war, and uncharted 2.

i agree with u about it being really fun, not to sure about jumping off the bridge lol.....but seriously for those who have the game, like u TC just hold on to it. i mean i liked the SP mode im enjoying enough that im going back for a 3rd play through, i beat it on the hardest difficulty and now im going after the rest of the intels. the online part i played maybe 2 or 3 games before psn went down and it was fun, but then again iw as enjoying the beta as well. yea they went to a new direction with the game, and u know what it aint that bad, its fun and playable. ppl just like to complain half the time. i understand if the formula aint broken dont fix it, but sometimes a new direction is good, in socoms case, only main fanboys are complaining that it aint like socom 2, well news flash if they really wanted to make it like socom 2, they would make a remake of socom 2 in hd....i say stop ur complainants give the game another shot and make sure u have few friends u can play with when u go online and ull enjoy it

Hopefully PSN being down means Zipper will make the MP more playable.

The SP is a joke, it's honestly one of the worst experiances out there this gen, I mean in the 45 missions all you have to do is crawl and you basically become invisable. It's a poor man's Geow. I haven't played MP yet because of stupid sony but the beta was amazing, honestly at least give it a chance.

If you liked Confrontation, you will have no choice BUT to agree. This game is nothing like Confrontation and therefore, nothing like Socom. Online is just as much of an arcade sprint-n-shoot fest as SP. No character, no fun, no thanks!

I like it because I love the intensity of Socom. As long as you have one life you have to plan every move you make. In this game you have to earn your kills and doing well in a round feels great. The SP is just mindless, it's like playing the MP with bots. My only complain is the crosshairs, I hate the way they expand but the good news is that the camera's a bit more zoomed out in MP, in SP it's way too close.

I think the biggest factor in whether or not you will enjoy this game is the extent of your experience with the previous Socoms. I have played the series since its inception and the RADICAL departure in 4 from the formula does not sit well with me any more than it would if the next Call of Duty was a flight sim. Series should evolve, but they should definitely not change their identities entirely at the expense of thier character. The heart and soul of Socom is gone in Socom 4, and because of that the game and by extension the series is dead to me.
