Overall this game has it all for online expierience.if you cant get online i would recemend that you do and fast!

go cry about it =stalker= |
| Mr. Knives from usa says (27/Nov/2003): |
Ok, first offi think the game is great and a whole lot more realistic thatn the first one, plus the new additions to the older maps is just makin it a little harder so you have to have some idea of what your doing, or if your a noob and suck, then that's the point where you'll just walk around aimlessly until you do find an opponent. how the gun reciols now also makes it alot more realistic, which shows who can really shoot a gun, since most people (like =stalker=) cant handle the recoil, it just makes it more fun for me. The new maps are prettty good, and i kinda like how they added some new guns (noob cannons).the only thing i found a little funny is the scoring system, but i guess it makes it so you have to do more than just shoot people and get the most kills.

the most fun your going to have on-line with your ps2 |
| A gamer says (27/Nov/2003): |
Socom2 is a huge improvement over Socom1. Unlike most of the newbs who posted I know how to use my guns so I have no trouble getting kills. This game is more realistic in that guns have very different range, power, etc. People who loved running and gunning in Socom1 may be disapointed however because the days of strafing eachother while charging are dead. This is due to the fact that guns now have recoil, running makes you less accurate, and the new hit detection system which allows people to not take much damage from arm and leg shots. All in all, its a huge improvement and a must buy....

Time for a real review. |
| Kyle A.K.A. (. : AKUMA: .) from NC says (27/Nov/2003): |
Ok so hear it is. Forget about Xbox, that cheap screw charges for his servers. Sony at least rewards it's loyal gamers. but anyway...David you need a life...Many people can afford the what 39.99 codebreaker. It took 49.99 to buy socom 2 and another 39.99 to buy the network adaptor. By-the-way David, before you make fun of, try to talk trash, and utterly be an annoying jerk HOW ABOUT LEARNING TO SPELL AND TYPE! I can't stand how you immature kids get on and act all cool and tough, but can't even type or spell.
As for the game...recoil is part of real life, zipper only made it more realistic. Lag, happens, don't complain to the game makers or PS2, it isn't in their hands. The only people who can solve this problem is your internet connection provider. As for xbox, they are not hack proof either, no one is....we can see this with windows (the maker of xbox) had one of the biggest attacks made this year, and they were helpless. Large highly interactive maps with realistic acting camo, and life-like reactions to grenade shockwaves. high graphics for a game that has to deal with massive amounts of info transfers when online. new menus are easy to navigate. refresh automatic and when you exit a game it goes to the lobby not the main menu. friends list and easy clan lists. No need to make new names for your clan. it is added on by socom. Socom 2 is a very well made game and it has improved every problem of the original.
You people need to stop knocking it and learn to play it and not complain about it and cheat cause you refuse to learn. The game is good and rent it to find if it is a game you want, or better yet find a friend.
Try it for yourself and don't listen to all the losers who try to put others down while spreading false issues with the game.
Enjoy and see you online.

Socom 2 is awsome |
| (SIB)KILLER from NY says (25/Nov/2003): |
Socom 2 is awsome.The Graffics are great, the friends list is great 2.I just wish they would fix the ranking system a little better.the best part is know cheaters.I also read Ron Rossman from PA, USA comments (22/Nov/2003):And i just had to say your an $#< remove me > at ! get a life:)Cheaters are losers in life not only in games

YOUR BLIND, PEOPLE CHEAT ON SOCOM 2 |
| A gamer from USA says (25/Nov/2003): |
Ok Im sick and tired of you Blind S.O.B saying its Impossible to cheat.
Tell me this. How come on Numerous occasions A terrorist has started on the seals side or Vise versa? Tell me How comes people can Boost points? For about 2 and a half hours This guy was getting 50-100 points per match.
I have been killed By invisible players. But I guess its a glitch in a game like you people seem to think.
well it happens quiet often so you be the judge.

| Dead_EyE from Brooklyn, New York says (24/Nov/2003): |
What happened? I was expecting a lot more from socom 2. I was expecting more stealth abilities; such as moving silently under water and suprisingthe enamies with a stealth kill..or both members of a team taking down an enamy at the same time in stealth mode..There should have been more attacts than just the knife and butstroke. Also Navy Seals usually operate in even and eary am hours and carry three weapons: 1 side arm (pistal)-a riffel and a sub machine gun for close quarters attacts. Zipper should have done more research.
Graphics aren't all that great. WISH there had been an XBOX version WTF not?????? I would have much rather if they had remade socom 1 with smarter AI. the only improvement in the game is the teams intelligents. Socom 1 has better missions.

Down with the cheats! Rock On "Crack"COM |
| NUKE3 from Travis Air Force Base, Ca, USA says (23/Nov/2003): |
I played SOCOM 1 for a while after it came out. Cheaters ruined it. SOCOM 2 on the other hand has a very smal chance of ever getting invaded by cheats. DNAS does scan the game for any "uknown" lines of code while its loading. Tyhats the main reason it takes about 5+ minutes to get the game fired up and online. I am currently ranked in the top 400 on the game and lets just say it takes a lot more skill to play legit. and no skill to snake someone elses code. The ranking system is a bit shaky if you are ranked out of the top 5000. And it takes a lot to brake into that number. I have to say this game is better than the first. It is more "noob" friendly, but skill always outshines dumb luck. I love this game and if you want to p[lay or need help get ahold of me my user name is NUKE3

Uh... |
| Ron Rossman from PA, USA says (22/Nov/2003): |
Read what you wrote... you hope it's broken soon, as in by SOMEONE ELSE. You will just use the codes *THEY* generate... so pretty much you have no skill playing real, and you have no skills as a "cheater" since you DID NOT BRAKE THE CODES YOURSELF. Pretty much you just said you have *no* skills period. Sorry dude.
Theres alot of people that dont like the game and thats only because they probley FOCKEN SUCK AT IT, so of course there gonna put the game down, am and also a part time cheaters, i hope the codes will be broken soon and they will be broken theres notihn socom can do to stop it
and another thing it takes more skill to cheat than it does to play normal, it takes hackers the even break socoms codes with is a hell of alot harder than it sounds, soo all i cant say is haha ur a newb. =)

SOCOM 2 and the cheater factor |
| Solitaire from Chicago says (21/Nov/2003): |
I liked reading Davids comments about how the DNAS servers can't stop cheat codes. It's obvious that David doesn't know what he's talking about. The DNAS server registers your IP, your game disc, and your NA and your PS2 onto the network. It also reads your memory card, and blocks and suspends players for incorrect codes on the memory cards. The game IS cheat free so far. The DNAS can also be updated with ANY and ALL new codes that do come out, and can be blocked within a timely manner. It may not be immediate, but it'll be there.
Now, onto the game itself. Very little, if any glitches were found after the beta test. I rated it an 8 because of the lag. Well, big surprise. The internet has lag. I know. It's shocking isn't it? The game itself is awesome. The have redone all of the maps and added more foilage, darkness, turrets, etc to the game. The new maps are incredible. The team is based strongly on team effort, the days of runners and gunners are gone for the most part. it blows away SOCOM I by far. I have had the game since it came out, and STILL have not had the chance to play on ALL of the maps yet. get the game, you'll be feeding your addiction soon enough.
Oh, and a personal note to "David", If you were skilled to begin with - you wouldn't need the cheat codes now, would you?

Great Game !!!!!! |
| *Chilly* from Chicago says (21/Nov/2003): |
The online play is great, but for the average Joe who is buying it for just that, you have to now unlock charachters. Wich sucks its not a total loss though, its not like the locked players are any better than the unlocked ones. All in all a good game. As soon as the server problems are fixed it will be a whole lot better. Oh but wait Christmas is right around the corner and we all remember last year, Christmas day through jan 15th boot central . So i guess we will see!!!

MY SOCOM 2 REVIEW FROM A CHEATER |
| david says (20/Nov/2003): |
ok, socom 2 is O.K.. theres is alot of new stuff such as RPG's and M203 gernade launcher that really make the game more newby friendly, it takes almost no skill to kill anyone with thoses damn things. well i really do not like the newly added shellshock thing when it shakes ur screen when u are close to a nade but other than that ur a freakn awsome game. Theres alot of people that dont like the game and thats only because they probley FOCKEN SUCK AT IT, so of course there gonna put the game down, am and also a part time cheaters, i hope the codes will be broken soon and they will be broken theres notihn socom can do to stop it, because we do not pay for the severs like we do for xbox live, DNAS canot stop anything all it is , is socom sever provider, you fockn newby lookk in ur socom booklet and it clearly says severs provided by DNAS, it is not a hack stopers in anyway. other than that socom 2 kick ass, andi hope i kill all yall soon when the codes come out and so i can cheat over all ur crying asses and hear you cry because you cant afford a codebeaker, and another thing it takes more skill to cheat than it does to play normal, it takes hackers the even break socoms codes with is a hell of alot harder than it sounds, soo all i cant say is haha ur a newb. =)

Socom 2 is the "8th wonder of the world" |
| Robert from Amityville NY says (19/Nov/2003): |
This game rocks it combines everything U ever need. The weapons the locations especially the clan factor create ur own elite team of online players . U can go crazy and run and shoot everything insight or you can lay in the bushes with a sniper rifle equipped with an infrared scope that can see the enemy the distance of 2 football fields away. The online play is the best U never get bored I play at least 6hrs a day and on my days off from work forget who needs regular TV, when U got Socom 2 Go get it. After U get some pratice challenge me VIPER1 if U dare.

One Shot,One Kill-Or How I learned to stop worrying and Love the Thermal Scope- |
| pimpin' big daddy mike from santa monica Ca,USA says (17/Nov/2003): |
Well,How many times have we seen a game sequel that just did'nt quite make feel as excited as the first game? Do developers really listen? Hell yes they do! SOCOM 2 is a benchmark in the world of gaming.To start,I'm only going to talk about the single player game.I know the online tribe is huge,I'm still in the dark ages as far as online play.The first level is kinda weird.I must say I was worried that the game had changed for the worst.The level just seemed "different".Much like the first few minutes of Metal Gear Solid,I wondered if they worked a little harder on the first part of the game,fired it up and it actually looked WORSE that SOCOM 1.My heart sank,and I continued playing.It seems that the 2nd mission is more akin the the landcape and control I'm used to.Weapons are such an important part of the game and of course this was one of the first areas I looked into antisapating the arrival of the new game.In a word, SHOTGUNS AND ROCKETS! Well,seeing that some of us believe in Peace through Superior Firepower,more is better.So,let me be the devils advocate for a bit.Everyone's falling all over them selves on how great the game is,you've read that review.
Let's see if anything is lacking in this newer version.
1.Weapons toggle:took me a minute to learn to hold down or click twice.
2.Night Vision/Thermal Toggle:Why can you use night and thermal together one right after the other in some parts,not in others?
In Brazil,night vision is only availible with your pistol.(?)
3.There is no # 3.I can't think of any other problems.
I, in short,love this game more than any before it.It creates a "real world enviroment" that gamers will be enjoying for years to come.

The Best third person shooter of todays generation. |
| MasterBlaster from Warsaw, In says (16/Nov/2003): |
I would give a 10 but I was curious of Kahuna and Boomer but no word was ever mentioned of what happened. The graphics is outstanding and the interaction with the surroundings is awesome. The story is believeable and rich. the added extra of havin some reknown voices is a nice touch, but they do seem to sound alittle strained as if readin from a script. The stoy line part has hours of game play not includin the online multiplayer. The hidden objectives has a well rounded natural feeling that compliments real life situations of having to think on your feet and never knowing what is goin to happen. Overall this game makes me wish I had joined the U.S Navy Seals.(I think that was what they were trying for)

Game is great but a few bugs |
| Dave Johnson from Chicago,USA says (15/Nov/2003): |
This game is great but the reason its an 8 is because there is way to many bugs/glitches in the game, espically online. I think zipper should have held this game back a month or two and try and fix the bugs left in the game. Other than that this game has great graphics and a "im actaully in the game" feeling.

Could of done better |
| Sean from San Diego says (14/Nov/2003): |
Three words. Lag,lag,lag. First you have to be fortunate enough to not to have someone in the room not to have any lag. I hate shooting somthing thats mot there. Second if it is a massive shootout there is lag in the game. Now i know this is not the games fault it is the PS2 ,but still it takes away from the game. I can only wait for this game to evolve. yes the game did evolve, but but only a microcosm for example hostages stand around waiting to be shoot. It is so lame that they dont crouch when you have control. The ranking system is a total joke it means nothing. I was ranked at 19,000 and then i got booted from a game. My rank jump all the way down to 112,000 after 3 rounds! BOOTY. I will not waste my money again. I will wait for PS3 and a better version of socom.
