I just bought SOCOM, Monopoly, and LittleBigPlanet in the last two weeks.
It was fun but the levels were just so damn congested it was hard to find people. And they need to get the respawn thing sorted out. It must just randomize without thinking of the opponent, they would put you right on top of someone from the other team and before you oculd react you were dead.
Don't expect much from the guns, some of them just suck. Slow action and long reload times. The grenades are alright. They have a frag and an anti tank but the rest are gas grenades. You run thru it and it almost kills you.
You can drive tanks and another player can run the machine gun on it. you are a sitting duck. The person on the machine gun is killed almost immediately. Plus the kills you get with the tank don't go towards your achievements.
Perks have some cool things to them, like resetting the time on a grenade when you throw it back, but like everything else you can only use only 3.
The levels like I said congested. they had 3 you could play, 1 was Makin - set in a bamboo village on the water. It was alright once you got used to it, but you had to run forever to find people. There were places you could camp out on this but don't expect your score to be that high. Don't go into the congo you will always die because there were people camping back there. Throw an anti tank grenade first and be prepared. 2 was roundhouse. An old train station with round house in the middle. large map that made you run for kills. Had some spots to snipe from but they were easily accesible and visible so you couldn't snipe for to long. This is the level that had tanks in it. it was hard to move them aound as there was way to much stuff in it. It was good with a UAV jammer and sneaking up on people. I seriously killed a ton of people with the knife on this level. There was some open areas on this that made the hand to hand combat fun. 3 was Castle. It was set in a chinese style house with garden. This one was the most fun as it was a smaller map (still pretty big though) which made it a fast paced game. You almost always had another teammate that was next to you. Most teams would hide out in the highest building and just protect it. Working this way against an unorganized team would garunetee a fast win.
Spawning like I said sucks. When you first start the match it is easy to find the other team and get a kill within the first 20 seconds of the match. For respawning they had dedicated areas they put you in but if an opponent was there, they would see you and kill you before you could react. It would also dump however many of your teammates that died at that same spot, which that was nice but they would always run opposite directions.
I would rate it a 3 out of 5 right now. If I saw more levels I would up it to a 4.
How is Little Big Planet? He wants that too.
You been playing a lot of Socom?
LittleBigPlanet, as gay as it may sound, is a kick-ass game. I don't know the point, or if there is one, but it's pretty fun playing levels people make. I don't have more than a couple of hours into it, but it's very cool. There are some levels where you really need to co-operate with other people in order to get though it. It takes some thinking at times. I don't know if your son can handle that part. Har!
