(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In SOCOM 4 you play as Cullen Gray, the Ops Commander on a five person NATO team, trying to stop a crazy revolutionary from destroying a waterway and taking over an unnamed Southeast Asia country. Only Gray and Forty-Five, the two playable characters, get any sort of character development. The other three are just there. If you want a better story than "five dudes defeat an entire army" look elsewhere, but the voice acting is well done, even if some of the lines are ham-fisted ("Here's his pen. Make sure you stab him with it.").

Socom 4 is a sqaud based game with some stealth Missions As the commander you can issue commands to move your sqaud to a position Or to issue them to fire on someone,Or just to follow you. when One of your sqaud Members go down They can be revived by other squad members. Unfortunately they cannot revive you the single player is really fun with its good moments and its bad it is hard at times and others you will think the game is way to easy. i have only played on Normal difficulty But i hear that hard is more challenging because you have to issue more commands and get your sqaud into cover more often At approximately six hours, the campaign short, though that is unfortunately a standard length for a shooter these days. Whereas games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 take you all over the world, SOCOM 4 limits you to a small area with a lot of very similar levels. Those levels don't feel restrictively linear, but they're not eye-catching – there are only so many dirt roads lined with underbrush and decrepit bridges I can look at before it starts to feel the same. Texture quality is not consistent through the game.


Outside of the single-player campaign is a set of co-op mission modes. The two mission types can be played on six maps, making co-op nearly as long as the single player campaign. Co-op with three other friends was by far my favorite experience with the game. You can revive each other, scream at each other through headsets to cover you – nearly everything the single player campaign offers. No one is actually the Ops Com, though, so nobody can mark targets or set waypoints, which would have been cool.


Presentation4.5
Its not really that great you have a sqaud of 5 against the hole of Southeast Asia.
Graphics7.5
I really like the graphics in this game its pretty realistic in its own way.
Sound 7.8The sound effects in this game are brilliant exlosions all the time during gun battles good gun sounds.
Gameplay 8.0The single player isn't log but still enjoyable bringing Sp to socom Online is as always good in socom
Lasting Appeal Multiplayer is amazing Not alot of gamemodes but still very good
Overall
8.4

SOCOM Confrontation was $50 and it was only online. I'd pay $60 for this one. I think the game is amazing
