SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals
Winning is the objective. Losing is acceptable. Quitting is intolerable. This is the U.S. Navy SEALs.
To fully understand why SEALs put themselves in harm?s way?and love every second of it?you are put in charge of this well-respected group of warriors in the U.S. military. As a commander of a frogman squad, your duty is to execute clandestine operations. To successfully complete these missions, SEALs pride themselves with strong team cohesion, and certainly SOCOM pushes this dynamic in the gameplay. An easy-to-use control system allows you to direct your three-man team to do just about whatever you want them to do. But even better, the included headset lets you command your men by voice recognition?an innovative and totally exhilarating feature for a game. Realism plays a gigantic role in SOCOM. Game characters are modeled after actual SEAL commandos, from equipment loadouts to their various stances and movements. Even the level designs are based on real SEAL missions from around the world. The sounds in the game are just as rousing. Your ears will actually ring if you?re too close to an explosion, and enemies speak with clarity in their own language.
Though the single-player mode is exciting, SOCOM?s online multiplayer option is the core of this game. You can create your own SEAL clan and compete with anyone else across the country while speaking to them freely via the headset. The reality of unconventional warfare is just a button press away. Ingenious gameplay based on real-life tactics of America?s elite armed forces deserves to be played more than once.
