I had Daxter and GTA: VCS and they both made my really like my PSP because they were simple and just plain fun. Then I got Socom, and it kinda ruined it for me with the overly complicated controls and overall frustrating gameplay. Sure it has it moments and I have gotten used to the controls, but I still find it hard to do the things I want because I can't look around freely and move.


Does anyone else kinda feel like it's frustrating like this? Any tips? I also play online... I get owned, not fun...

The controls arn't complex at all. The only things you need to know are:

X - shoot, analoug- move, r - lock, l- strafe, square- reload, arrow forward- zoom (scopes)

thats it, so it really isn't that bad, but about the online, I either do really well or really bad, its a bit of luck, like, who fires first, and if your bullets hit or not. Dont' be discouraged though, keep playing, you actually do get better, even without the luck thing.

I found it to be a really easy game. True, it'll take a minute Memorize special things, but it's not that complicated. Maybe it's because I played to demo a hundred times over before the game came out.

socom 2 is an easy game idunno what your talking about

on the online side there are some glitchers and there are a lot of hackers but those hackers barely cheat when playing a game...i think thats very misunderstood..

Yeah but the thing that really gets me angry is the free look thing and the lock on!! The free look is right on the D-pad, why couldn't they just make free look and lock on to the R button! They did it for Metroid Prime. You hold it down to look around, and if there is an enemy you let go and press it again quickly and your done. I would have liked that A LOT better. I hope you can change that or something... probably not.

I find the lock on sometimes wont work, and it's really hard to play stealth when you have to go through a door and there are enemies everywhere...
