The single player mode is fun, but it only gives you 8 missions. That is the only problem with this game. The best mode is online play. You can do co-op or you can battle against others. The online play is the part of this game that will keep you playing. Get this game!!!!!!

Good game. The additional 2 team members add to the action. If you liked the game play of the previous SOCOM's you won't be disappointed with the newest version. However SOCOM 3 in my opinion is not as good as 1 and 2 and that is why I gave it 4 stars.

This is a game that I really enjoy. I had been anticipating the release of this third game in the SOCOM Fireteam Bravo series ever since thew title was announced.

Pros:

-many weapons

-weapons very customizable

-good graphics

-fastest loading time for any of my psp games

-great story

Cons:

-short story mode (consists of only eight levels and one tutorial level)

All in all, I highly recommend this game for anyone that is interested in a quality third-person shooter for the sony psp system.

This is a great game for the PSP, if you like the SOCOM's then this Story mode is a little short but they make up for it with an unbelievable amount of guns and costumes for multiplayer. Makes me wonder why Slant 6, now the makers of SOCOM, why couldn't have added these guns to their PS3 version "Confrontation". How is a PSP game gonna have more gun options than a PS3 game? Anyways...

Either way the main problem with this game, and should be for everyone who enjoys playing games on Sony's platforms, is that Sony launched this new plan to stop piracy by adding an activation code to the game so that way you need to activate your game to play online. The activation code can only be used on one system, new activation codes are going to cost 20$! This idea is to stop "pirates" from "stealing" the game. The problem being is that this is a scam on all those who enjoy sharing your games with friends, buying used, and trading in games.

For all the support that gaming stores give Sony it seems like all they are interested in is running a monopoly on their games. With the PSP Go you download the games so there is really no reason to even go to the game store. And now with this activation code it seems like they are trying to drive a dagger right in their heart. Whats the point of buying a used game if you have to turn around and pay [...]$ for some stupid activation code to play online. Im sure that there are more innocent gamers being affected by this tyranny than there are "pirates" stealing games.

Imagine if other companies in the world did this. What if you went to buy a used car and payed $5,000 for it. Then as soon as you go to start it up and drive off they tell you that you now need to pay another $20,000 to "activate" it. This idea is bologna and if any other companies tried to do this people would have a fit and boycott them.

Call Sony and complain... this was supposably a test run for this game to see how the plan went. Hopefully Sony Computer Entertainment isn't so out of touch with the gaming community to realize this is a horrible idea, and so is charging for online play... which i heard might be their next move.

Good game for on road or travel. Not the same as Xbox360....but only because of smaller format.

This was preordered for months and was delayed several times. It arrives and what a disappointment. It just lacks the smoothness of #2 of the series. Some of the graphics are good, some like the health regeneration, but over all it just is not as good as the Zipper made #2. Slant Six had already failed at "Tactical Strike" and now after years of developement time, they failed again......

This game is OKay to play. Not great, just okay. The combat is boring, there isn't a thing revolutionary about this game. Tactics are boring and missions are way basic and thoughtless.

The worst part of this game however is the DRM. The game must be activated by internet using a code. Once this code is used it can never be used again. Meaning even if you buy the physical game you can NEVER resell it. Sony will sell the new owner a code but for $20, who is going to buy a used game when it costs them more than buying a new one?

This is basically a marketing scam by Sony to get people to NOT buy used copies and force them into buying new ones. This is some of the most shady low life scum sucking marketing techniques the industry is using today.

Imagine if other companies did this? You go buy a car and you have to activate it and then pay 10K to get a new activation for a new owner. Can you imagine? Why do game companies get away with such sleezy things?

They want to complain about the Pirates being so bad, it's not the Pirates that are the bad guys now, it's the publishers.

I wont ever buy a Sony product again.
