Requires credit card validation

Be aware that Socom 3 REQUIRES credit card validation to play on-line, INCLUDING your verification code and answer to your "secret" question. This is a huge risk and an unnecessary security violation. Just wait until their servers are hacked or one of their employees decides to cash in on the database of complete credit card information (currently worth $100 each record). Can you say "hello, identity theft"? Unacceptable. My purchase is going back.

Learn the facts first.

After owning both previous Socom titles, we were anxious to get our hands on Socom 3. My husband has quite a network of friends on Socom 2 and wanted to join his buddies in new maps. He'd heard rumors about credit cards being required to play online. Cool, we thought. One way to keep the noisy cheating kiddies out of the game. Well, the rumors are not entirely true. The first time he played the game online, he was able to create a profile, join and play in games, talk using the mic, etc and never saw anything about a credit card. Finally we searched around and found the credit card verification section. It it NOT required to play the game online. It's only required if you wish to join the "Online Community". This simple verification process allows you the ability to earn ranks, join and create clans and create a friends list. I'm not really sure why this is was considered something that required age verification, considering the chat feature is where most under agers cause problems. If you don't want to give out your credit card information over the internet (uhh, then why are you shopping Amazon.com?) you can still play and enjoy the game. Clans and friends lists are fun additions and it's nice to play with people you've come to know, but there is nothing whatsoever stopping you from joining a room and enjoying a good game of shoot the terrorists! For now, I'm rating it a 4. The game is still new and we haven't gotten to check it out completely, but first impressions are nice. Hubby was disappointed that he had to learn a new controller preset since the "Precision Shooter" preset was not included in this version. And we were both disappointed that the rumors about age verification being REQUIRED to play online were false. I'm guessing the ones complaining the most are the kids who can't get ahold of mommy and daddy's credit cards. LOL

the best socom so far

ok, i agree with the other guy about the online credit card thing, but that is just going on what he said, i have never tried to play online, i am happy playing by myself. OK, i love it, it is by far one of the most well put togather games i have ever played. the draphics are amazing and so is the new AI. the vehicles also make it a lot of fun. i give it 2 thumbs up all around.

Wish I could Play more

Got hooked on Socom I, and loved it. Same deal with Socom II. Now with Socom III, it's even better. Very similar to PC games like Counterstrike now. Unfortuanately I don't get to play as much as I'd like anymore, but when I do, it's easy to kill a few hours at a time. They did a great job with the new game, and I can't wait for future versions down the road!

I bought Chicken Little for Christmas and I loved it. It is like the movie Chicken Little. I don't know what made me buy this game. The games I usually play are vet games and I loved it. I am looking foward to Chicken Little 2. Otherwise, cool game.
