SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs Image
  • Summary: In online mode via broadband gameplay, up to 16 players (eight per team) can create their own SEAL character profiles and join the fight to take down hostile forces in 22 different online missions (12 new SOCOM II online missions and ten updated, enhanced SOCOM online missions) with five different mission types including new Escort and Breach missions. Using a SOCOM-compatible headset, enhanced online communication enables team members to more easily communicate either in-game or in the game lobby while viewing the new ?who?s talking? display and use sub-channels for offensive and defensive gameplay strategy. Players can also use a friends? list to easily find their friends online and vie for the top position on the player and clan rankings board. Expand

  1. Even if you focus strictly on the single player game and ignore the massive improvements to their multiplayer world, there are so many details in the game that it almost comes to life... A near-perfect game. [Dec 2003, p.84]
  2. The single-player game represents as solid a shooter as has graced the PS2, while the online game captures the gaming spirit that so many PC enthusiasts claimed would never reach a console. Updated graphics make use of more detailed character models and environmental effects, completing a package that can't be rivaled on PS2.
  3. Problems do arise however, mainly down to the computer AI. At times they can act obscenely professional, and at others fairly dumb.

    Give it a 6 or least, teams & player usually throw grenades so close that explosions catches them; player usually have to use silenced guns in all missions, and with 'em, enemies got down only after 4-5shoots; Hey! we don't need a rocket launcher, but give us more powerful guns!! We need to see Socom III soon. Expand

  3. This game nowadays is crap do to the fact that there is no longer multiplayer, and the campaign is lame, the story however is better this time around, but in the end it's just more of the first game, I can't recommend this game, you can safely avoid. Expand
