Game may actually be better than I reviewed, it is worth trying...I was unhappy simply because it was NOT compatible with the playstation move gun I purchased. Besides that. Seems like it could be a good game

Though it has a long history of bringing tactical third-person shooter action to Sony systems, the SOCOM series' debut on the PlayStation 3 failed to fully capture the excitement of its predecessors. Yet while SOCOM: Confrontation disappointed, SOCOM 4 delivers. The substantial campaign makes good use of setting and characters to create an engaging tour of duty in which squad tactics play a nicely balanced role. The online cooperative mode lets up to five players band together for stand-alone missions that can offer a serious challenge and engender a good sense of camaraderie. Those looking for competition will find plenty to like in the online multiplayer, where up to 32 players compete on large, well-designed maps in a variety of game types, including tense variants with the classic SOCOM rules that disallow respawning in the middle of a match. Both single- and multiplayer do have some issues, including imperfect stealth action, visual oddities, and intermittent network problems. Fortunately, these limitations don't spoil the fun, and SOCOM 4 makes it exciting to experience what each mode has to offer.Read full review
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.Read full review
First off, this is nothing like the other Socom games made by zipper. The feeling is not an improvement. With that said, for a third person shooter it is very fun and addicting to play. the graphics are outstanding with the sounds and weapons from the original socom. There are no handguns tho which to me is a flaw. You can equip your person with two primary weapons and some other small tactical equipment like frags or mines. However, the gun upgrades work by a different system than usual. In order to upgrade the weapons like sights and grips exct you must use that weapon for so many points before you can add attatchments. It makes it a little harder to get a comfortable setup at first but does help you learn the weapons and how they shoot differently. This is a good game, its not amazingly great but it is fun to play. If you are a fan of the previous Socom's made by zipper this is not like them and not for the better.Read full review
