Socom Us Navy Seals is the best shooter out there.
Well for starters it is a one of a kind game in that it is the first game for playstation 2 that used a headset. In the offline play you can give your team members commnads and they will do just about anything that you throw at them.
The offline play lacks a storyline. The lack of a storyline is really the only downside to the offline play.
Now the online play is a totally different story. Players can enjoy the variety of modes that the online play has to offer. Demolition,Suppression, and hostage are the three ways to play online. The online play is very realistic in that it only takes a couple bullets to take someone down. The variety of the maps is awsome. There are snowy maps, jungle maps, urban maps and desert maps. The ablility to communicate to other players via the headset is what gives socom an edge on any other shooter.
