    I love this game, and I don't see myself playing anything else at home for a good three or four months. [Sept 2002, p.11]

    The realistic weapons and possibility of one-shot deaths give it a visceral excitement other shooters lack. [Oct 2002, p.186]

    Possibly the best reason to own a PS2 network adapter. The team-based miliary tactics work better online than off. [Feb 2003, p.93]

    The game is also annoyingly dark during night missions. Even with the brightness cranked, it was pretty hard to see.

    One of the greatest features of this game, by far, the headset lets you tell your computer-controlled teammates exactly what to do...makes SOCOM such an innovative title. [Oct 2002, p.28]

    SOCOM: US Navy SEALs isn't quite PS2's online killer app, but it's a worthy beginning.

    The frustration factor, however, runs needlessly high in SOCOM as a one-player adventure.

    I gave this game an 8 because of the one player adventure mode. It is fun and stuff, but if you die you have to start all over, whick makes I gave this game an 8 because of the one player adventure mode. It is fun and stuff, but if you die you have to start all over, whick makes it frustrating. I hope SOCOM 2 makes a better one player adventure. I had heard that the online play is awesome so I bought a network adaptor because I already had broadband, and SOCOM online rules. It is so much fun. I don't have much time in a day, but I find myself playing SOCOM for hours on end. It is an awesome online experience for any PS2 owner.… Expand
