I'm going to keep this review simple. If you want a really accurate viewpoint of this game just check out Scott Robert Ganz's review. He pretty much nailed it IMO. One thing I have to comment on though is the fact that the online community for SOCOM is one of the worst I have seen. I really don't know why they included a headset. Nobody uses it except to badmouth the other players on their own team!
Because of the fact that the majority spend most of the game in spectator mode (because they've been shot) most of the players are very angry and frustrated and tend to take it out on each other. You basically get a 360 view of whichever teammate you decide to watch play after you die. This means that if you get two kills but are ... Read More:

the game is good but incomplete on release. a lot of the features that are supposed to be there are not. what works is fun, and hopefully in time all game components will be there. i would wait till all things are fixed.

This is a great game and highly recommended, though you need to set some time aside and be patient playing this one compared to other shooters.

The game in its current form is a good game with a lot of potential, the basic premise is there it's just missing a lot of features witch will be implemented in upcoming patches like 1.30, witch will make the game even better.
It's a great online game if you have the patience for this type of tactical shooter games and for the developers to churn out the patches to make it an awesome game.
