This is the first and only review I have seen so far for SOCOM (PS3). I have never played SOCOM, but I was curious to see how this game turned out. Enjoy!

Visuals: 8.0 - Simplistic and clean, nice to look at, and they get the job done.
Audio: 8.6 - Great sound effects and decent music. Firing your gun sounds powerful and fulfilling.
Gameplay: 9.3 - Lots of options make the controls a little complicated, but once you've gotten used to them you're in for some great online shooting with lots of teamwork.
Entertainment Value: 8.8 - There are a lot of problems with the servers at the moment but with the promise of a patch, and very addicting gameplay, SOCOM will be a great purchase for fans of the original series and newcomers looking for a great team-based shooter.
Overall: 8.9 - Outstanding
"SOCOM: Confrontation is a sweet package overall. It looks good, sounds great, and plays beautifully. The only real significant problem with the game is the damn servers. I'm not going to review this game based on something that will certainly be fixed in time, but rather on how the game plays... and it plays great. It may be a hassle to get into a game, and there may be problems with the servers, but as I mentioned earlier all the original games had similar problems, as do most online games at launch. Once these problems are taken care of, SOCOM will make a great addition to any collection of a gamer looking for great team-based online shooting. I would recommend waiting for an inevitable patch if you really don't have the patience for screwy servers. Otherwise, I would absolutely recommend it to hardcore fans of the series and curious players alike. "
