Offline is great!

The offline portion of the game is still very fun to play. Online is terrible though because it is almost impossible to find a game without some idiot cheating. Not really Zippers fault though so it still gets 5 stars.
 

Navy Seals PS2

My son is in the Navy and has a lot of fun when he gets a chance to play this.
 

Greatest game of the socom series

I didn't need the game that much however. I just wanted the headset. It's one of the more durable good headsets to get. I went through a lot of headsets.

As far as the game goes though. Everyone thats a fan of the SOCOM series knows they need to remake this game the exact same way but with more maps, weapons, and customizations and it would be perfect. Really fun gameplay
 

Fun game, but if you're one who throws controllers in anger, stay away!

Socom U.S. Navy Seals is the first of three games in the series. In this game, you are the leader of a Seal team fighting the war on terror. You will be able to give commands to your teammates via headset or button controls. The mission locations vary from remote locations in Alaska to the jungles of the Congo. Missions include attacking terrorists on a tanker ship to rescuing kidnapped ambassadors, and for all you gun lovers, you will not be dissapointed with the armory in this game.

The missions and objectives in Socom are a lot of fun, but there are some things that can lower the fun level. The first thing is that the friendly AI is, how should i put this, horrible. Many commands you give your team will not be followed and if they are, it will result in them getting themselves shot and it can become very frustrating when a team member gets stuck behind a wall or a rock, or even a door, especially when the mission depends on them. Enemy AI is pretty good most of the time, and sometimes, even too good. You may find yourself getting very angry over losing a mission because you were sighted by an enemy, when in real life, he never wouldve seen you.

Another downside to this game is that there are no save points during a mission, so if you fail one objective that needed to be completed, you have to start all over. This can make you throw your controller through the wall especially after being slow and carefull through the whole mission. This may happen very often and you need to be patient to play this game, you might find yourself repeating missions several times before completing them.

I dont play my PS2 online (i do Xbox Live instead) but ive heard that this is one of the leading series for PS2 online. So if online play is a factor for you, any one of the Socom games would be a good choice, the later games improving in quality.

Overall, Socom is a great game that will leave you feeling like you've really accomplished something after beating it, and with multiple difficulty settings and several unlockable items, you might even find yourself playing through it a couple times. It's not a game for those who throw their controllers in anger because you will go through many controllers playing this game. Its very challenging, but very fun at the same time. A must have for any action/stealth fan.
 

good game with a few mistake!

Socom is without a doubt the best third person tactical shooter. I love this game if only if i could save in the middle of the game. That right, the dumbest thing any one can do to a game is not allowing a person to save in the middle of the game. Now you would than expected it to have checkpoint where it will automatically save for you, Right? Wrong! Now i probably understand it if it was any other game, but Come'on do the creator believe that we can really go commando? I Don't Think So! Now on top of that, there is absolutely no tutorial in the game. In fact the menu is very plain, just think of halo, and you will understand. One thing that ubisoft manage to do right with the ghost recon and rainbow six series, is let the player switch individual, which made it easier. Sadly USNS doesn't ultize any aspect of this great gameplay. Instead you take the role of kakuna, and if your kakuna die, you lose the mission regardless if all your teammate are alive. However anyone looking for a ghost recon type gameplay will also find it in this game also. What i call the ghost recon shooting mode, where you have a reticle in first person without any gun, well ghost recon has it as well, and surprise, it is done way better!
Even though there are so many thing wrong with Socom us navy seal, i still find it more enjoyable than both the rainbow six and ghost recon series.
Simply put Socom us navy seal is the best third person tactial shooter out there!
