excelent

et me start out by saying that I'm almost exclusively a First Person Shooter player and almost always on an Xbox. I've logged time on (and have beaten as well) BFBC2, CoD Black Ops, and Crysis 2; I also own and have beaten CoD Modern Warfare, MW2, Red Dead Redemption, etc...

I've just gotten into the PS3 scene to get the killer Blu-Ray player and try some of the exclusive titles on it. The SOCOM series is a PS exclusive. SOCOM4 is my first taste of a shooter on the PS3 and sadly, this game doesn't measure up, and that's too bad. Granted, it's a Third Person Shooter game on the PS3, but more than close enough to compare. Gears of War and RDR are both TPS and awesome.

Having carried a real gun for the 32 years of my entire adult life from 17 to 49 in the military and law enforcement, I wanted to experience something close to actually pointing a weapon in a video game and was excited to try the PS SharpShooter system based on its reviews. I found after pricing the components locally, the SOCOM4 'Full Deployment Edition' with the SharpShooter and all the other PS Move gear actually cost less than just the hardware. Ergo, the game was free - to me. So, if you got the game with the package it is an awesome deal as it's an 'OK' game. I'll review the SharpShooter in its place...although I will say it gets high marks.

GREAT GAME

Socom 4 is a GREAT game!! The campaign, although predictable, is a blast! While it challenges you, you get a very fun time enjoying the campaign. the tactics are crazy good and for once tea teammates KILL!! The multiplayer instead of just classic socom, also has normal games where you DO respawn. I've been following Socom since day 1 and this socom is one of the best!! 5/5

There are Navy SEALs in this game? Oh wait, no.

SOCOM has always been one of the more polarizing franchises. Some people just can’t get into it, and that's fine. The multiplayer for SOCOM 4 is solid, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I wish there were more game modes and maps to make my purchase feel worthwhile. The story mode has interesting squad command gameplay, though I found myself enjoying the co-op missions more because I could actually yell at my sniper to kill the dude with a rocket launcher. If the single player were longer, and the story was worth following there'd be a great game here, instead of just the good one that might get ignored.

Game is great, move control sucks, better price on Amazon in most cases.

Ive only been playing for about an hour and I must say this is another great installment. The return of the single player campaign was quite a stroke of genius considering the epic FAIL of the PSN network for a month. The sharpshooter attachment and move compatiblity is lame though. It doesnt work like a point and shoot that you would have expected, like say time crisis. All it does is make you move the gun in a direction and then the cursor will move in that direction. Speed of cursor movement dependent on how fast or how slow you move your gun. Lame in my opinion, makes you a sitting duck in online play. But if you are dead set on getting the move controllers at a very good price the Full Deployment pack is a good deal. And as of 5/16 if you are paying more than $142.99 after shipping you are being ripped off. Check Amazon if you cant get it for better than that price on Ebay.

Ot with the Ol in with the New

Great Fun but not like the last ones so expect a new change and hard to get used to but overall fun. It was hard to get used to the changes since I have been playing Scom since the firs one. Throwing grenades is different the lobby is different there are no servers now.
