Pushed the limits too far
Combined assault is an extremely fun game. It is also an extremely buggy game. There are a hundred ways to game the glitches in the game in order to gain an unfair advantage. One example is that certain combintations of characters, maps, and weapons give you unlimited ammo without reloading or a medium machine gun that you can fire from the hip on the move with no recoil. There is a way to jump off of some high ground on one map and end up under the floor of a house, able to shoot up through the floor at unsuspecting (and helpless, bullets only pass through in one direction) opponents. You can be blown through a wall by an explosive breach (without getting hurt), as well as shooting an opponent through a solid door while he is placing a charge on the door (you can't normally shoot through walls or doors in this game). My assessment is that the programmers really pushed the envelope of the PS2's capabilites with this one, with generally good results...but they went a bit too far, resulting in predictable glitchy play that is easily exploited to gain an unfair advantage. There are also some unbalanced features in weapons choices. For example, if you program a level to allow only pistols, the terrorists have access to a machine pistol, while the seals do not. In a wide open level, this is insignificant, since the machine pistol has a shorter range and low accuracy, but in a level full of hallways or tunnels with short lines of sight, it allows a weak player to crush an experienced one.

Overall, it's a fun game, and I cannot wait for a SOCOM title for PS3 to be released, but the problems with this game lead me consider it a step down, not up, from SOCOM II.

SOCOM Navy Seals
EXTREMELY fun for teens over 14. Best 3rd person shooting game. Player becomes Navy Seals. Graphics are good for ps2.

Great Game - Some Glitches
This game has a lot of levels and situations that make it very fun and challenging. There are a few glitches that take this game down a notch. You're team member(s) will freeze on a location and they won't move. Bad guys have popped out of nowhere and killed me. These instances are rare and the game, overall, is very enjoyable.

Great game in the series. (Review for Single Player Game)
I really like this series of games. They are very innovative in design. What's cool is you get to command your guys in combat.

There are a couple of glitches, where one of your members may be stuck moving inside a wall and you can't get him out. But, when you are in a new location and you happen to turn around, he's there with you. Even if you've been issuing "Follow" command the whole time.

But, overall, the missions are cool. What I like about this game is you get to try different paths. It's very challenging.

Now, here's what I don't like. The scoring. At the end of Socom III you had a rating. A, B, C, etc. Here you don't you have a point based system. Sometimes it's confusing. I actually completed some Bonus objectives, but even when I got to the scoring screen it showed that I had no bonus points? Very confusing.

Aside from this, the game is very well done. I love the graphics, the sound, the environments. Very, very cool.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys combat games that require you to be PATIENT and THINK about what you are doing. This isn't a "Call of Duty", or a "Medal of Honor" game.

Check it out. I'm pretty much a Socom fan for good!!!
