Maritime special operations continues its reach in the PlayStation 2 universe.
Set to start their new mission in November, the U.S. Navy SEALs will once again show off their raw and focused talent on- and offline, promising even more action than in the first SOCOM game. To start, there will be 12 brand-new single-player missions that take place in the hostile environments of Albania, Algeria, Brazil, and Russia. Your equipment will be updated to include shotguns, rocket launchers, and anti-personnel mines. And as in real special operations, you can expect to team up with and take control of another country�s elite military group like the British SAS and Russian Spetznas to help complete your missions.Multiplayer gaming, however, is where Sony is really pushing SEALs operations�in fact, SOCOM is still the number-one played PS2 game online. The sequel will build on this success with added features like player and clan rankings, friend lists, spectator modes, stat listings, and an improved chat system. An early demo of SOCOM II displayed super-fast action online and clear improvement of visual detail. If you haven�t already, get prepared to gladly get your feet wet with the second invasion of the SEALs.
