CheatCC says, "There are a few nice things about SOCOM. The shooting, for what it is, is mostly competent, and despite issues following commands, your AI teammates will actually make a dent in enemy numbers. The multiplayer modes add some fun mechanics, like bomb squad defusing, making this more interesting than the single player game. Bear McCreary's score is also actually pretty good, though it may lean a little heavily on a couple of musical motifs. And, because not every military shooter can be about WWIII with Russia or Korea, it's very refreshing to see a game where the heroes' primary objective is as comparatively mundane as protecting a vital shipping lane in East Asia. How's that for realism? Still, SOCOM 4 is mostly forgettable."
Original-Gamer.com: "Sony has decided to shutdown the servers for SOCOM Confrontation, SOCOM 4, and MAG in January 2014. SOCOM 4 and MAG were developed by Zipper Interactive while SOCOM Confrontation was developed by Slant Six Games."
MAG community is far from dead, why?
And no wonder GameStop has been selling the game used for $0.99. It's an online-only game too
That's the only problem I have with digital downloads and multiplayer only games. If they shut the servers down your screwed...
H-Hour. We need you. Deliver the tactical third person shooter goods that we deserve!
Announced yesterday, a couple of former Zipper developers are lacing up their boots again in preparation to begin working on new tactical shooter, Takedown.
I was looking forward to that game but now that zipper is touching it? I dont know they been making crap for almost 10 years now Socom 1 and 2 are the only thing good they have done
"TAKEDOWN will be developed on PC as the lead platform, and then brought to consoles afterwards"
PC is lead platform then consoles coming after.
so the tags are messed up.
I can't wait to see what David Jaffe does on pc unless it's a facebook game.

Well written review but OUCH at the score and comments.
Umm i have the game and this review is wrong. The game is way better than a 2.5 i would at least give it 3.5 maybe even a 4. And i would say that the game is not mostly forgettable. But what ever to each his own!
The game isn't really that bad.
LOL. Zipper blows.
COD as dumbed down an entire generation of pseudo games journalists.
