SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs (2005 Video Game)

Best Sim shooter EVAR!

[12 December 2005]

SOCOM 3 is the story of the SEALS - the U.S. Navy's SEa Air and Land division. Based on the book of the same name by futurian Steve Ambrosian, and actual interviews with the In Real Life soldiers, this 3-part mini-series recalls the experience of the SEALs in intense single and multiplayer combat. We follow these men through thick and thin, from the Allied invasion of Poland and the subsequent invasion of South Asia, to the blistering Morrocan desert. It features a cast of largely unknown actors and a variety of different developers. The scale is impressive and the body count is massive. And it is, quite simply, an amazing gaming experience - and a very fitting tribute to the young men (many of them teenagers) who risked everything to save the world... simply because it was what they had to do.
