  • Summary: Battle through 12 single player missions in three new, heavily researched Areas of Operation – each up to five times as large as past SOCOM AO’s. Utilize land vehicles and watercraft to traverse the terrain. Everything from a turret-equipped pickup to SEAL-team configured Humvee to the SOC-R Assault Boat are available. Pilot strikeboats along waterways for waterborne assaults and use swimming/water for cover and stealth ops. Defeat the world’s terrorists with over 30 highly configurable weapons – for a total of up to 950 total weapon configurations. A SOCOM-compatible headset can be used to communicate verbally with fellow team members during online games, either in game or in the main lobby. Improved voice recognition commands greatly assist tactical options. Lead your SEAL team into firefights in single player mode or battle online with up to 32 players per map (with up to 4 spectators). Compatible with SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo (PSP title).

    The controls are tight, the action tense and the graphics crisp. And, most importantly, lag was rarely an issue, even in 32-player firefights.

    SOCOM 3 doesn't innovate in any way at all, but it does entertain.

    It's like any flat stretch of road in the country, nice and smooth with some decent scenery that gets you where you have to go. [Jan 2006, p.89]

    This game is godly. It has large combat with vehicles and small combat with no vehicles giving you the best of both worlds. The only downside is some of the small maps are poorly designed, but most of them are great and so much fun. Very challenging and tactical game modes too.… Expand

    The graphics are horrible. They seem to be below socom 2. The command interface sucks. And the AI is pretty stupid. Conflict Global terror is better.
