To quote the video review: “SOCOM Confrontation is a fairly safe bet, if all you’re looking for is a by-the-numbers online tactical shooter. Without a single player campaign to add some flavor, the game does come off as kind of generic. But it plays well and perhaps most importantly; there are a lot of other people playing online. If networked competition is your thing, SOCOM Confrontation is worth a look.”
