Sorry BigMike, but you obviously do not know what a good war game is. I am a SOCOM 2 player, and I rented this thinking it may have been better. Boy was I wrong! Here, let me go through the game for you:

Graphics: 2.5/5 The graphics are blocky, cheap, and overall very bad. For a war game, I'd expect a game with better graphics than this. And I also hated this: the WHOLE GAME all you SEE is beige. Beige uniforms, beige sand, beige buildings, EVERYTHING is beige. Ahh.. drived me nuts.

Sound: 3/5 The sound is not TOO bad. Good: when there are guys talking over the com-link, it sounds pretty good, but it's also very quiet when compared to whats going on around you. Bad: every guy you kill makes similar noises over and over again: Ahh! Augh! Ow! and wow is it annoying.

Control: 3/5 Can't get much easier to control. X to get in/on/behind something, R1 to shoot, O to prone, crouch, or stand, and X to jump when in the middle of nowhere. ( which is where you are most of the time anyways. ) Very easy controls, but also pretty clunky and unresponsive at times. ( the menu. )

Fun: 2/5 This game is just NOT fun. One shot kills anyone, there is no recoil, and the game is just overall repetetive, repetetive, REPETETIVE... If you like first person shooters, I might tell you to buy this game, if it was good. If you like 3rd person shooters, buy SOCOM 1, 2, or wait for 3.

this game is SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this game for $50.00 it was really exiting and really made you feal like you were in somalia (africa) but when i played it i fond out that on the 2nd day i beat it beacuse thier was no more campain and the instant action was only for the missions i had already beat. the multiplayer mode was for areas that wernt even in somalie it looked like i was fightng in a place that didn't exist on earth. if you are going to by this you are wasting your money and time. thier are plenty of other things that you can spend the 50 bucks on. DON'T BUY!!!!!

Better than most shooters

When i rented the game i was expecting something like SOCOM: US navy seals. I was very wrong. The graphics were pretty good, and i like the fact that there are medics. its really nice that you can ask your team to give you health and ammo, but the best party is that you can walk around freely in the vehicle! In a helicopter you can fall off the edge and die, or you can shoot out of the side and kill bad guys. you can't drive though, which bites, but its not a bad game. the online isn't half bad either because its not TO laggy, and you can change rolls in the middle of the game (medic to gunner or sniper etc.) if you like REALISTIC shooters, don't buy it, but if you like shooters that have SOME realism to the game, but have fanticys like healing, buy it.

Online Gaming

The online gaming for this game is awsome. It's very hard though.
I recommend it to anyone who likes to think up tactics and likes to do tons of killing. Also had a great selection of different games to play. Do you have what it takes to take on the best?!

Good Game

Fun game. But some pros and cons.

Pros-Good graphics, most of the battles are well thought out, like that you can get in the humvee and shot using the mounted gun.

Cons-Game was almost to easy. Adid Died before you could get to him anyways, so the last level was useless, the rebels, and the innocent people in the city had annoying screams that were all the same.

BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game is extremily fun, the reason I gave it 4.5 overall is because it is short but that doesn't matter because even when you play the levels over and over again they remain fun! The weapon selection is great there are not to many so you don't take an hour to choose but there aren't to little so you don't have to get bored using the same stinking gun every time!

If you purchase this game your gunna be sorry unless you have a brain! You have to be resaursful like in real life. Ai is great compared to socom and GR DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT HOW BAD GR2 AND SOCOM 3 ARE!
I give this game an overal of 4.5 .

great entertainment

I like this game it has good graphic's on the back ground. Four players can play. I love the mission's fighting in the country Sombia just like in the movie "Black Hawk Down". I wish this video game was rated M for more bloody gore violence cause the movie was rated R.

Ok, average FPS for PS2

The games single player is cool and you can do co-op and go 4 player. When you go online though, it's awsome. You get to choose to be an Assualt soldier, Medic, Machine Gunner, or a Sniper. All the guys have different stuff and equipment. 32 players is like a huge battle. If you get shot down, in other games, they would mark you as dead, even if you got shot in the foot. In online, you can be saved by a medic and put right back where you were shot. But they keep the life savings realistic. If you get shot in the head, your autimatically dead. I heard you can also fly on Black Hawks! But I have yet to see one online, but, I just got the game. The life saving online brings the message clearer "LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND". Overall, I think this is a really good game.

Help!

For those of you who already have this game, can you tell me if it's worth the money. I can go online with it but, I don't know if it's worth $50. So, should I buy or wait for Socom 3?
