PSP - SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals Fireteam Bravo

PSP Socom Fireteam Bravo
Capturing the look and feel of the larger format SOCOM games, Fireteam Bravo for PSP is being called the best shooter yet for the PSP. In the game, you play “Sandman”, leader of a two person SEAL team. Lonestar, your partner, is at your disposal. You may tell him to be aggressive or defensive, as well as issuing more specific commands like “defuse”. Yeah, that sounds like a good thing to have the sidekick do for you.

The single player game spans 14 missions in four locations: Chile, Morocco, South Asia, and Poland. All excpect Chile overlap with SOCOM 3 for the PS2. This is where the “cross-talk” between games comes into play. By completing certain missions and secret objectives in each game, you can unlock skins and weapons in the other. The sync is accomplished by connecting the PSP to your PS2 via a USB cable. If only the PS2 supported WiFi, this could be a little less convoluted. The PS3 will supprt 802.11b/g, so I guess we’ll have to wait a bit for wireless sync.

You can play with up to 16 players in both ad hoc and online modes. Sounds like one of the most impressive online PSP games to date, with leaderboards, clans, message boards, and so forth. Modes include team deathmatch, hostage rescue, free for all, and a couple others.

    It will be very interesting to see how these games will move in upcoming years. In recent industry conference in Montreal (Quebec, Canada is one of the four important places that develop games), one speaker said, if we keep on making games prettier but make them only for men, the industry may not survive for long. He suggested to start thinking for games for children, women and other sectors of the society. I completely agree with this guy.

    the controls are awesome and flow very well chris(if you havn’t already played it). It also features an auto aim that can help you in a lot of ways using one analog stick.
