I'm expecting very mixed reviews on this one much like warhawk recieved, but probably another .5-1 point higher on average.
Why I think so is because, there's alot of Socom veterans from the PS2 out there that understand what this game is all about, and if one of them happens to have any input on the review of this game they will no doubt score it well - i noticed some of the IGN guys are from reading previews. The game has 'mixed' graphics meaning the environments and lighting engine are very good, but the detail on the characters leaves something to be desired. There were some latency issues in the game as of the last beta patch, which could dock scores as well.
Another reason for the mixed reviews from my reasoning, is that this is a budget title, like Warhawk was - It either comes with a 49.99 headset(supposedly a lot higher quality than the warhawk one) and sells at 59.99, or sells without for 39.99. Some of the reviewers will see it as either a great value, or score as if it were a full priced game.
