User Rating: 8.3 | SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs (Greatest Hits) PS2
So here it is the thrid Insatllment of U.S Nay Seals. Now the Ps2 isn't getting any younger and the rumors and excitment of the ps3 and Xbox 360 have started to leave the ps2 in the shaodws, Socom tries to bring players back with a bunch of cool and unquie gameplay features. I am going to reveiw the online and offline portion seprate so here we go.

OFFLINE

Offline Socom is the same as always you are in commmand of a 4 man squad and you must beat mission that take place in Poland,South Asia, and A desert setting. The A.I Isn't that well done you will find that Bravo and Ab;e do not respond to commands effciently and there accuracy has been reduced greatly. The enemy A.I has been boosted now when enimes are shot at they will see cover, prone and try to ambush. Though if you playonline this will not affect you really. The maps have been given a overhaul they are over 5 times bigger then before. The number of enmies has been increase so now the average number of terroist attacking is about 10. Another fine installment is the use of vechiles you can use these to make movemnet on the map quicker and sometimes safer. With and assortment of cannons and guns you may wanna stick near one of these. One sad thing overlooked is that your fireteam cannot drive the car/boat. You must always be the driver. Now you are not limited to only land vechiles water is also something that has been added. Now you can swim and dive underwater to avoid detection. Another thing Zipper added that not many will notice is Zipper has added relide events and areas to the game. Such as the capture of Sadam has been retold in this game almost perfectly. Though you are not really catching Sadam another terrosit leader.

ONLINE

Now Socom has found its way into our hearts with this mode. Metting firends and not doing homework has been something people have always done. Now I have never bought a Socom game under it first realse but it seems the always be choatic. Not that it isn't solid online is almost perfectly upgraded in this installment to the socom series with vechiles and larger maps. Zipper has only scrathed the surface on what they could do. Another great feature is 32 players are now able to be in a single game killing spree, and with 10 diffrent options and gameplay modes such as breach,convoy,extraction,control point it adds to the fun. Also every map can use and support anyone of these features so you can play suppresion and breach or whatever. Now so far online has been good but there are some major bugs in the early online days that need to be addressed. And Zipper is working on them, First the Mic is having alot of trouble allowing people to talk or keep a stable mic connection. Lag is also huge becasue of the amount of players on right now about 50 000. Though these are annoying they should not be used aganst the game as they are unexpected problems.

OVERALL

If you are a socom vetran you will love this game and most likley make you love socom more. If you are new to socom these is either gunna rub you the right way or the wrong way. All in all another fine installment and with a week or two the fix the bugs it will be even better.
