SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2 is a 3rd person tactical shooter. It's a fun game with many options in it.
The campaign of the game is fairly easy and short. You play as Sandman
as in the first, but you get to choose your partner this time. Instead
of always playing with Lonestar, you can choose him and to others named
Wraith and Bronco. All of them have their own abilities. Lonestar
snipes, Wraith is stealthy, and Bronco can clear rooms well, but they
all have disadvantages. There are 14 missions in the campaign taking
place in a made up country called Adjikastan. In the game there are
things called CE and LI. CE is pretty much money used to buy weapons
and air strikes. You get it after completing missions or winning in
multi player. LI is local influence of the villagers. You raise it buy
saving civilians or arresting enemies. You can even lower it if you
injure a civilian. Basically LI unlocks Black Market weapons and more
info is given during missions. You fight a bunch of mercenaries which
are hired by a corrupted government who's smuggling weapons and drugs.
There are some problems when in the campaign though. You can literally
not be seen when laying down even if your not in a bush and the enemy
will just stand their and be blind. The action is easy with the given
help of med kits. Pretty much I am saying the AI is dumb.
The multi player is the best part of the game. There are 7 game types
which are suppression, target, extraction, free for all, demolition,
tug of war, and intel capture. There's 11 maps with a lot of variety
like desert, urban, jungle, etc. The multi player supports 16 players
which is a lot for a PSP game. It's SEALs vs. Mercenaries with each
side have its own variety of weapons. You can customize your games and
modes as well as what weapons. When you win or loose a game you get CE
and you can use the CE to customize your avatar or person, but it will
take a while getting everything.
SOCOM Ftb 2 is great game if you have internet because of multi player, but if you don't the game will get boring quick.
