Abstract: It's never quite clear what you'll end up with from an iteration of Sony's stalwart SOCOM series. Part 3rd-person shooter and part tactical action game, the original was lauded on release as one of the first genuine attempts to get PlayStation owners onli...
In all, Special Forces meanders along the line of all-out action and low-key stealth in terrific fashion, where making your way through a moon-lit, rain-soaked dockyard in perfect solitude is a glance away from ordering an air strike on an invading tan...

"Socom"-Fans dürfen angesichts des soliden Singleplayer-Modus und der kooperativen Missionen bedenkenlos zugreifen. Alle anderen können gerne einen Blick riskieren, müssen sich jedoch bewusst sein, dass vieles in aktuellen Blockbuster-Titeln besser ge...
