TITLE:SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALS Confrontation

Platforms PS3

Something different from the series
SOCOM has always had loyal fans, and for good reason. It was one of the first truly great online shooter games in fact it was one of the first online games at all. At least for console players it was. Confrontation is the first leap to this generation, and it has a lot to deliver to the fans. Although it does have it's flaws, it is a fun game, and if you are a tactical player, who wishes to work with teammates to win then there is nothing else to compete with this game. Lots of microphone holders seeing as there is a package that includes a Blutooth headset with it, which happens to be the new PlayStation 3's official headset. Lots of interesting little developements in this installment, but it does include some struggles with lag, and console freezing at times.

Graphics: 6.5/10
It can pass as a next-gen game
There is nothing ground breaking or truly special about the visuals.

Gameplay Description:
Gameplay of SOCOM as I said before is the truly great part. It has a mostly classic SOCOM feel to it, but in parts Slant Six has just completely changed it. Some of these updated and new features include the proxiimity mic feature, which allows people to hear you talking even if you are not pressing the chat button. This includes the other team, so you have to be careful about how loud you are or you will give away you, and/or your teammates position! Another new addition which has become quite the norm in this gen is the sprint button, allowing you to well... sprint. It makes for faster gameplay, and some sticky situations if you happen to run into someone while sprinting! One other addition that is notable is the knife, you can now knife someone for a great kill to really slap 'em in the face! It is an interesting element, and it adds a whole close quarter fighting mentality to your head. Some old SOCOM game problems such as quick sniping have been fixed so that they will not plague the game, which is very nice for those who were aggravated by it in the past. If you absolutely need a reason to buy this game, it would be for gameplay, it is definitely the main selling point here, and it is what Slant Six clearly spent the most time on.

Gameplay: 9/10
Classic feel of SOCOM, with upgraded and updated features.
SUCKS NO TANKS
Proximity chat is a great addition and it really adds a new element to the game.
Sprint can work with or against you in small maps,
Some feel that it is too different from the older SOCOM games. but i think it is too much the same!!!! think they should of sold us the old maps in a map pack instead of the game!!!
sixacis controller is one of my fav parts of the game

Final Thoughts:
Confrontation is a great addition to the series in my opinion, but again this is only my opinion. Confrontation seems to be an acquired taste, but that shouldn't stop you from going and trying it out. Just be careful about it, and go rent it first maybe. That was shown pretty well in the beta, and already they have started to fix the problems that are slightly plaguing the retail copy.

Overall: 8/10
