    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 find socom to be This game is one of the best ever, anyone who thinks else either sucks at the game, or dosnt know what a good game is. I find socom to be very addicting, i got the game about a year ago and im still playing it 24/7. To me Socom could be better than the GTA series, if there werent any glitches or lag. I played Vice city for about a month and i got bored of it, the same thing with gta 3. Thats why this game deserves more than a ten.… Expand

It's dirt cheap nowadays so pick this one for your PS2. Even if the online is dead, the singleplayer is quite tense and deep. I hope Sony re-releases this on the PSN as part of an HD collection.… Expand
