Socom Confrontation is a great game. If you were a fan of the previous Socom titles, then you should definitely consider buying this game. The graphics are really nice, and the game itself is very fun as well. However, there is no campaign mode. The entire game is on the Playstation Network. This is kind of stupid, but I stil recommend buying this game because the multiplayer gameplay is beyond fun. Another nice feature about the new Socom is that they brought back maps from Socom 2. Now you can play on Crossroads and Desert Glory. The games can also be played with up to 32 players, and this can be very fun in the new large maps that have been created for the game. The weapons are nice as well. They are your typical Socom weapons. However, they sound much more realistic in this game than in previous title. Overall, I think this game is great.
What's great about it: Fun, Graphics, Weapons, Maps, Communication, Nice Mic

This game turned out to be really sweet. It had advantages and disadvantages. The online play is fun, but it's not as fun as the first game. The character customization feature online is sick (as in awesome)! If you have a bad connection, trust me you're gonna hate online play. The weapons are really cool and represent real weapons. Overall it's a good game, and I would buy it if I were you.
What's great about it: Online Gameplay, Weapons, Character Customization online
What's not so great: Not as fun as 1st games, Bad connection = horrible online play

If you read haloandCoDfan's review, he gave it a 1 because he is obviously a XBOX 360 fan. This game is amazing. It has great graphics, the storyline is amazingly fun, and the online gaming experience is one of the best available today. I would suggest that you pick this up, and if you don't, your missing out on an amazing game.

The only new thing in Madden 08 is the players. I don't mean graphics... I mean rookies and trades. The graphics, dynasty mode, and the superstar mode are almost exactly the same as the 07 version. I would only recommend this to the people who want the new players. If you don't then do not buy this game.

The only fun thing on this game is Campus Legend. The dynasty mode was much better in the previous titles, but in the 08 version it't totally ruined. The graphics are horrible, and I mean HORRIBLE! If you play a game in the snow... It doesn't look like snow. It looks like they're playing on an artificial white surface. I wouldn't suggest buying this game for any reason.
What's great about it: Campus Legend Mode
What's not so great: Everything else especially GRAPHICS

This game came free with my PS3, and if it didn't I wouln't have bought it. It's not really fun when you have better games. It's not something that you would play instead of games like Call of Duty 4 or Madden 08. I don't think that you should buy this game, because your only gonna play it for two days. If you are bored and don't have any good games, then this might be fun for you. The cons are just things like unrrealistic sound effect, but you don't have to worry about that. I wouldn't recommend this for anybody who has fun, exciting games. :-(
What's great about it: Fun when your bored
What's not so great: Sound effects and stuff like that

This game is okay. It's not great, it's not horrible. . The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is pretty good, but I am still very disappointed. The online play isn't good at all. It is kind of boring. I don't really think you should get this game. If you want a tps, then wait for "Socom: Confrontation" to come out.

There is no fee for an online membership on the Playstation 3. However, if you are talking about the xbox 360, I think there is a yearly subscription for $50.
