1up has re-reviewed Socom after the glitches in the original game were fixed
The editor writes:-
"But the game's improved enough from its launch state that I'm comfortable recommending it, especially considering it will only get better. It may not suit the taste of every shooter fan; if Halo free-for-alls are your thing, for example, you're likely to find Confrontation annoying in its realism and challenge. But if you want a game in which brains are as important as marksmanship, you've found it. "
1up initially gave Socom Confrontation a C+. The new review stated that there is even more room for improvement and hence a chance of a further updated review
Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my
love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer
online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a
new SOCOM game.
Baffles me as to why they have not done anything with this franchise. Seeing as how it was #1 on the official PlayStation poll.
With all the trash put up weekly on the App Store why has nobody done a clone of this yet. I've been playing Defiance as my go to 3rd person since 2013 but still nothing like that old school Socom/Socom 2 up all night gameplay.
the only game on that list that's like socom is wild land if you want socom type games then you will have to invest in a PC
RAINBOW SIX: is the closest you'll get to Socom.
Also, in response to @lookatthisi
They let go the creators, and I think socom is a game that's hard to clone even the creators had a hard time making Socom 2, Socom 3.

"Would you purchase a game you can’t play for a single penny? Video game retailer GameStop seems to think that it is worth trying to sell to this market."
Depends the situation. Usually if they have a trade in X and get Y bonus for preowned purchases, a store will let you have the excess credit if you make 1 purchase and 1 cent is cheap enough where I wouldn't have to bother returning it or eating the cost out of laziness.

MAG will be missed, my all-time favorite shooter. They're shutting servers down in January.
but what is happening to 1up???
Wii music = A+
PGR4 = A+
Socom B+
Resistance 2 B+???? R2 got 9.5 from IGN
The site is going to dogs
????
I remember all the 360 fan boys talking all kinds of trash about this game. What a bomb. Again PS3=Older audience.
Now that is how reviews should be done, if a dev takes the time to fix the problems, the reviewers should fix their reviews to show that the dev has indeed fixed the problems in which lowered the score.
This site has been with the dogs. It started when that moron Dan Hsu took over as Editor. He is gone now but every bad decision and every bad hire he made is still around. Talk about someone that hated Sony. He epitomized the Sony hater. He was Idiot in Chief for EGM and some of the biased crap he pulled there is legendary in it's ignorance.
