GameCollision writes" Incredibly addicting online gameplay where teamwork is a must.
The SOCOM series has always been the flagship online title for Sony's last-gen console, but with the new developer Slant 6 at the helm, can the newest entry in the series live up to the past? Yes, but it has some problems that need to be ironed out first. The graphics are not amazing by any standards, but SOCOM games have never been about looks. The audio is strong but the gameplay is the real standout here. There are a lot of issues with the game's servers right now, unfortunately, but many of the same problems had occurred with all the previous SOCOM games. If you can get past the problems persisting at the moment, you'll be justly rewarded with intense team-based tactical shooting"
Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my
love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer
online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a
new SOCOM game.
Baffles me as to why they have not done anything with this franchise. Seeing as how it was #1 on the official PlayStation poll.
With all the trash put up weekly on the App Store why has nobody done a clone of this yet. I've been playing Defiance as my go to 3rd person since 2013 but still nothing like that old school Socom/Socom 2 up all night gameplay.
the only game on that list that's like socom is wild land if you want socom type games then you will have to invest in a PC
RAINBOW SIX: is the closest you'll get to Socom.
Also, in response to @lookatthisi
They let go the creators, and I think socom is a game that's hard to clone even the creators had a hard time making Socom 2, Socom 3.

"Would you purchase a game you can’t play for a single penny? Video game retailer GameStop seems to think that it is worth trying to sell to this market."
Depends the situation. Usually if they have a trade in X and get Y bonus for preowned purchases, a store will let you have the excess credit if you make 1 purchase and 1 cent is cheap enough where I wouldn't have to bother returning it or eating the cost out of laziness.

MAG will be missed, my all-time favorite shooter. They're shutting servers down in January.
there it is, the first review, and a fair one, maybe alittle generous.
well when a game comes out that is only online there is a chance that it will have a few problems due to to many people loging on at the same time,but a patch is gonna be relased soon.
you didnt buy Socom for 60 bucks!
If you bought the bundle with the headset you bought Socom for 20 bucks! If you downloaded it off PSN you paid 40 bucks
give it time
like Warhawk they need to patch things up after it gets running with full servers. Online only games will never work well in the first week! Maybe 360 fans dont understand this because they dont have any online only games that count
Why did you buy it for $60? SOCOM MSRP is less than that....
Presumably you got the headset bundle - the headset alone is $40 so in effect you bought the game for $20
lol,i know were ur coming from bcuz u paid full price for it. but u must rember no company/game dev is perfect. every one makes mistake and im sure they did not plan the relase of socom propley.
