IGN: Socom Confrontation Review
|
4.0 |
Presentation The manual and box list elements of gameplay that are blatantly missing from the game, meaning that the full experience of Confrontation is strangely missing. |
|
| 7.0 | Graphics Visuals are striking, but you have a lot of render and texture pop-in. Animations are good as well, but you can get stuck in some of them. |
|
| 8.0 | Sound The ambient music of the game is quite good, and the sound effects of the weapons are spot on, adding to the chaos of the battlefield. |
|
| 4.5 | Gameplay New controls and customizable options are marred by serious technical issues and missing features that makes gameplay hit or miss, assuming the servers cooperate with you. |
|
| 5.0 | Lasting Appeal There are plenty of games online – whether you’ll be able to play any of them or gain any ranks thanks to the glitches is a tossup, which hurts the overall enjoyment of the full title. |
|
|
4.5 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |

WOW Low rating for a hot game. This game is hot don’t care what anyone says. There lieing because I had no problems getting into rooms since the second day. Also the controls are fine, sounds like the dude sucks.

@MOE-GUNZ-JACKSON i agree with you bro. i love the game. i hate when he said “The manual and box list elements of gameplay that are blatantly missing from the game, meaning that the full experience of Confrontation is strangely missing.” LOOK you moron its GOING to come be patient everything comes in time and its most likely going to come over a patch or PSN so stop your bitchin’ and be thankful you have a great game!

exactly they even stated “we want to get the servers right before releasing the calendars etc” Games that actually make you think other than running out tossing random nades need more respect. /6 is one of the FEW developers that are actually communicating with the community. ZIPPER gets too much credit, because they just let glitches etc to stay in the game. I hate reviews man.

Roger Ebert and other movie critics, have never stopped me from watching a movie, same thing goes with Game critics(I didn’t listen to them when i bought Too Human). Besides, Its not the reviewers fault, its the developers fault. Reviewers could have torn Socom a new asshole, but they’ve been pretty kind to the game. 1up gave it a 58/100, but the full article had comments like, “It’s been a mess. But growing pains aren’t unusual for online games these days” and even the FULL IGN article had a some similar comments,”You can tell that the potential of the game is there.” These reviewers can only review whats in front of them, the can’t travel through time and see what it looks like in month. Don’t blame IGN, blame sony for rushing a game that odvisouly could have used more time.

@Moe
Good, because this game is on my christmass wish list. Even if its declared worst game of the year, it still deserves a rental just on the basis that its SoCom.

DAYUM i never buy games that go below a 8/10 lol so i guess its buh bye for SOCOM! same with the spider man haha…. i was gonna get it cz of the headset anyway and i know its like a £10 game but fuck it im gettin tom clancy’s end war instead (had my doubts bt when i played the demo i liked it) and it comes with the headset so i might just get that with the headset but it means the headset will be about £20
grrr or maybe fuck tom clancy anyway haha… gettin naruto instead 
yes i like naruto and what!

correct me if im wrong but it can all be fixed with updates right? I think the game was released too early IMO
10 / 31 / 2008 11:17 am
@Syanara
yes it can be fixed with updates and thats why im so mad that reviewers/other pple are giving it such a hard time.
@MOE-GUNZ-JACKSON
i agree with you again man /6 DOES keep communication with the community. they love feedback and fix the problems pretty damn quick (faster than warhawk imo) and i love SOCOM no matter what those shitty reviewers say about the game. like moe said its really not all that bad, they just make it out to seem that way
10 / 31 / 2008 11:46 am
well I’m taking everyones word on it cuz I seen a review like 2 days ago which said da game was good then I seen this and was shocked cuz come on now a 4.5???? thaz krazy but I think I’m still gonna get it either way I really want da bluetooth but da game will be a bonus.

@izzy071707
yeah i know same thing i said “a 4.5″ are you fucking serious??!
its a STEAL technicall. do the math the headset ALONE is $50 bucks, the game by itself is $40 bucks add that up and your spending $90 bucks (PLUS TAX) but if you buy the game w/ the headset for just $60!!! ITS A DEAL!!! and the headset is AMAZINGLY good. wayyyy better than my warhawk bluetooth (That i’ve had for like a year lol)
10 / 31 / 2008 12:23 pm
I wonder what Warhawk got in the beginning with all the problems they had.
10 / 31 / 2008 12:25 pm
Does anyone think they would give a better rating for this game if it was on the 360??
10 / 31 / 2008 12:43 pm
Hahahaaaa

I was getting ready to buy this game this weekend, now im having second thoughts. Is it worth it?
