Son enjoys this game-it is a bit hard, but he is up to the challenge
Rating: - Best PS2 Game that I own
If you play online; this is probably the second best PS2 game you could ask for (Socom 2 is the best). The online undeniably fun when playing with friends and using a USB headset.
I actually never played the single player game; so I can't really give an opinion on that part of the game.

Rating: - Glitches are too damn much!!!!
I own the first two SOCOM games, I love them too, despite the mild glitches and such. This game is alot like the first two but with changes to the engine, most of them are positive changes making the game very enjoyable such as graphics and controls. On the other hand, these positives are heavily overwhelmed by the oversights, poor testing and shoddy programming destroying the enjoyability of the game. The worst change is that your fireteam is the most retarded and blind group in any game EVER!
In the early installments of SOCOM your team was picking the enemy off at great distances before you even saw them. Well, in this installment, often times I found a teammate getting shot by an enemy in the open and not returning fire, and this is when they weren't getting lost or stuck in the environment. I quickly found myself "carrying" the team, and babysitting them, not a very fun thing to do when trying to be an elite team of heroes.
Enemies just seem to appear out of nowhere at times, and they don't seem to die!!! How many 30 calibur rounds can a malnurished asian guy take?! So while your trying to put a super human weighing in at 98 pounds, your team isn't even helping you, they're most likely stuck on a post at the other side of a bridge while "Charley" pumps him full of rounds that work much better than your own. Some of the encounters with the enemy are scripted so they don't come from off map, they just appear from around a water line, a hut, or out of thin air. Very frustrating since your once amazing and well trained team are now blindfolded and stoned and firing blanks.
I never got into the multiplayer portion of the game, I never actually bother with it on any game, but the single player potion of the game is aweful. It really could have been great, it could have been a fun and unique experience, but sadly, it was plagued by so many problems, that it really came off as a third rate game slapped together and thrown down our gullets to try to appease the demand and create dollar signs. The SOCOM game has always been sprinkled with glitches and programming issues, but this time it's wayyy worse and it really kills the experience, I can't recommend it at all.
