    That game being Socom Confrontation, this game is the fifth game in the Socom series and from what I have played the worst. I know that is me being unfair and honestly just making a harsh statement being that this is only the second Socom game I have played since the original on the Ps2. I have very sound reasons why I can’t stand this game.

I know that is me being unfair and honestly just making a harsh statement being that this is only the second Socom game I have played since the original on the Ps2. I have very sound reasons why I can’t stand this game.

    First of all this game has no single player you are buying a game purely for the multiplayer. I know a lot of people who will do that some of which won’t touch a single player aspect of a game. I feel like that is robbing yourself of the full package you receive and being this game offers no single player to speak of I feel like the legs of it, well it has no legs.

    The game starts you out with downloading a long installation for something that doesn’t play or look to incredible. I would love to know what the hell I am installing on my PS3 is it some type of military server that tracks how well you do? Maybe it is some type of government conspiracy secretly training us to be Navy Seals. Whatever the installation is you might as well go grab a beer, mow the lawn, and take your dog on a walk because the **** is long. Once you finally get started with the game you get to create both your Seal and your Terrorist character. This basically dissolves to a semi-cool looking military guy and a person who grew up in the third world. The terrorist never look like they should be much of a threat to the Seal characters they look like they should be well hooligans. Once you picked out the way your avatar will look then you can choose his load out of weapons. The weapons aren’t half as cool as the Call of Duty franchise these are just the same boring crap. You know the ones shotguns, machine guns, snipers, pistols, and big ass assault rifles. You can buy better gear and other customizable things to go on your character or weapon. These things are purely a sad attempt to keep you playing and have no effect on how good you do.

    The game looks below average, now I do understand that this is a fairly older game for the PS3 but it just doesn’t look half as good as any game made today. This game has a rated M for it which I have no clue why. The box says for blood which there is hardly any, it says language which I never heard anyone but the people talk unless the internet mongrels are what they are talking about. Last the box says violence; all I have to say to that last one is **** duh. The game is about Navy Seals what in the hell did you think was going to be in the game, fluffy kittens on Sprinkle Mountain.

    The game plays rather clunky which I do remember the original Socom being rather hard to control. Now the only way you play is by joining a lobby, being how old the game is I saw about five lobbies that weren’t just one dude sitting alone waiting for others. I give it to the game for supporting up to 30 players in a match but I never had more than 20. Once you get into a match it really feels like Counter Strike where they give you objectives sometimes but as long as you kill the other team then you win either way. You also have team death match where well it is team death match. One thing I hated was if you die you must sit and sit and sit just to respawn which in a multiplayer game is a lot of down time. I say that but the game isn’t your typical Call of Duty where it is a fast pace die respawn , this game is a very slow multiplayer. It is so slow it makes Assassin’s Creed’s multiplayer feel like Sonic the Hedgehog. The thing is usually with games that play rather slow when you get a kill it is satisfying. When I got a kill in this game it was just eh. I was so bored by the time I found someone I almost want to be like oh buddy don’t shoot let’s just chat for a bit. The game does have smaller maps which are a little faster pace and with those I just died left and right. This game is a camper’s best friend, you can sit in one spot and no one will ever find you unless you mess up. My biggest problem with this game is the fact from what I saw friendly fire is always one. Occasionally I will accidently shoot a teammate because he walks in my line of fire. Well he will think I was being that team killing troll and start shooting at me and eventually a civil war will break out with the team. You also will get that troll who will just ruin the entire match which just makes the game even less fun than it originally was. The last point I have to make on why this game is bad is the fact that this series has always been about squad tactics, the way to succeed in this game is by working in a squad. The thing is no one will ever do that everyone has to be John Rambo and it just ends up being a boring version of Call of Duty.

    Overall this game is old and not very good, I can’t even recommend you online junkies try this game. If you see it on the shelf then just keep on walking by    … Expand

    Being a long-time SOCOM fan, I really love this game, other than the cheating and technical glitches. Sadly, it's best played with a bunch of your buddies, rather than logging into random games. I thought it was a great update, and was really looking forward to more from Slant Six, since the newer Zipper versions just weren't cutting it for me anymore.

My first match was plagued with bugs and a heck of a lot of unbalanced kills/deaths in the couple hours. I may love some stuff, but they do NOT steal you from other juggernaut multiplayer games , and with an era that we live , full of FPS and smooth gameplay, SOCOM:Confrontation doesn't last at all, and it's not good , it's a little wimp . But, if you want to play a good exclusive from the PS3, play Killzone 3 (multiplayer side of course ).… Expand

Old SOCOM was the **** There never has been a game like that since!!! Not sure who designed all of SOCOM 1-2 but I'm sure the one's after that have been some young kid who should be working on COD which is nothing more then a baby sitter. These games have lost story purpose heart and the addiction feeling. People (sad as it is) use to live on these games lol. COD there is not about a team or involves any real thinking and definitely does not require any skills just a bunch of ADD kids who's parents dump them on it so they don't have to deal with them. It is electronic Ritalin. Why put the SOCOM name on something that really has nothing to do with the original SOCOM? The difference of SOCOM vs. this new stuff like COD is that any one can play COD. In SOCOM you had to be smart a good gamer and put a lot of your self into each mission or you would get voted out. Bring your A game. The games today are just reactive games very little thinking or skills involved. Us old guys are looking to SOCOM to give us that. Plus there is a lot of younger people who are not challenged enough by COD (because it is pathetic display of tards). Geeks are not known to listen or connect with people well. So remember this with out fans there is no "SOCOM". You should have BETA the game and tweaked it from there and taken some feed back. You could have been bigger then COD but now your just a game with out sole. Who ever made this shows what they have inside them selves, not much... SOCOM Confrontation is another baby sitter!!… Expand

You can't rush in guns blazing and expect to last very long. You need to have good teamwork. I personally like this change from the typical console shooter. The levels are very well done and allow you to play the game the way you want to. Whether you favor a sniper or a sub-machine gun in your hands, there are always places for you to do your own thing on each map. The different game modes aren't anything new (team deathmatch, escort, capture the flag, etc.) but that doesn't mean that they aren't still fun. Plus, when you only have one life to work with each round, the tension adds a completely new level of excitement. Obviously, none of this would matter if the game didn't control well. Thankfully the controls are spot on and, if you die, you can rest assured that it isn't the game's fault, it's yours. Basically what I'm saying is that, if you liked Socom II or you're simply looking for a fun new experience, you should disregard the initial reviews of this game. They don't do the game justice for where it stands today. Go to EB Games and get a used copy. If you like it, great. If you don't like it, return it. Hope to see you online.… Expand

My only real issue is that the controls are sluggish. I played a ton of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark back in the day and loved the way the n64 controller felt (even though it wasn't the best looking controller), and I found Halo to be acceptable (but I still didn't really like the game), but I generally do not like the feel of a controller for shooters. This game did nothing to change my opinion. The precision, accuracy, and quickness you get from using a keyboard/mouse will never be matched by a controller and most people do not care to accept that or understand that. I have played a ton of Goldeneye/Perfect Dark on the n64, and the PC versions of Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike, and Call of Duty 4. If you know what a real shooter is like, then this game isn't for you. I bought into the Socom hype I read on forums, but after giving it a try I really think that the Socom series is overhyped.

    It's been a mess. But growing pains aren't unusual for online games these days. These sorts of kinks get worked out in time, and there's no reason to doubt Confrontation's issues will be smoothed out in the process of a patch or two. But in the meantime, the game is available for purchase at retail and via download through the PlayStation Store, and you deserve to know what that game's like right now. [10/20/09]

    SOCOM has always catered to the hardcore and Confrontation is no different in this regard. Slant Six has done an admirable job updating the formula of past games, but the decision to wipe the single-player slate clean and the copious amounts of bugs are standout problems.

    Despite an arsenal of moves, the process of switching between weapons is labored and will most certainly result in your demise. The lack of a dedicated single player campaign mode hurts as well. Worst of all, Confrontation includes a ridiculous amount of technical bugs.
