PS3 Move bundle: If you don't have the PS3 Move yet, this is a great deal. This is also the ONLY PS3 Move gun peripheral worth buying. Trust me, I tried many of them. It takes some getting used-to, but didn't analog sticks the first time you picked up a PS2 or Xbox controller? Once you get used to the Sharpshooter, it's like second nature. It also feels better holding it and pulling the trigger than any analog controller. It also seems more accurate. There are calibration issues, but not enough to stop me from using this all the time instead of normal controllers. It's just so much more fun!
GAME: GREAT to use with the Sony Sharpshooter gun. That's the reason I bought it. The only other Sharpshooter game worth mentioning is Killzone 3. SOCOM4 is MUCH better to play with the Sharpshooter. 1. It seems more realistic. 2. The calibration seems better. In KZ3, I had to recalibrate every 5 minutes. This one stays more or less calibrated. I do have to recalibrate every so often, or "yank the crosshairs back". Basically, on the fly recalibrating by yanking the controller far left or right off the screen. It is annoying, but works. One downside I did notice: Sometimes, randomly, it doesn't allow you to recalibrate in the options menu. The recalibrate button just is not there...no idea why. So you have to exit and restart the mission. Weird..
The game itself cannot beat titles like MOH or COD as far as gameplay, but it does add a tactical feel. You can control squads instead of being the lone wolf. Sort of like Tom Clancys Rainbow Six games, except not boring...and more fast paced. You also have options on how you want to attack an objective. You can go in stealthy and perform stealth attacks, snipe, or use your teams to setup ambushes. Or you can do what I like to do and just setup overlapping fields of fire and just kill them all from cover, one by one.
Also, please stop comparing this to older SOCOM games. It's a PS3 Move shooter, and a great one. Unfortunately, carrying the SOCOM franchise name which means all the die-hard SOCOM fans out there are going to complain.
Graphics are fine. Not great, but definitely not bad. This won't beat Crysis 2 or KZ3 on graphics, but it IS the best graphics ever seen in a SOCOM game. So if you were/are a SOCOM fan, theres that. There are a few glitches, but even Crysis 2 has some. All games do. Overall, the lighting and environments are satisfying to an FPS player like me.
AI: Well...the AI is just completely mental. Your team will block your line of fire sometimes, or stroll right out into artillery fire. It's ok though, because you can just kill them to keep them out of the way and revive them later. They don't shoot back. A funny way to get around the dumb AI. Or, use them as cannon fodder or bait. They'll do whatever you say, because well, they're completely stupid. The enemies are a little better it seems, and use grenades, cover and can detect you pretty well. They are also very good at killing you, even on normal mode. I tried going "rambo style" and just rushing with machine guns and grenades. You can't. The enemy AI is too good of a shot and knows just where to throw grenades in order to kill you quickly. So all in all, AI is acceptable.
I haven't tried playing this without the Sony Sharpshooter. What's the point? You really won't want to use a regular controller ever again once you've tried this with the Sharpshooter. I've been waiting for a good gun-peripheral shooter to come out since Duck Hunt and the Lightgun on the Nintendo. Time Crisis was just "ok", KZ3 and MAG were decent... But SOCOM 4 is finally it. FINALLY! Now Sony, just fix that damn calibration issue.
Don't bother trying any other gun attachments than the Sharpshooter. I tried many of them and they are cheaply made and cannot map the buttons via USB like the Sharpshooter does. They are all a waste of money and just take up space in the closet now.
Two things you may want to do: Get a Hogue rubber pistol grip, universal size. These are intended for real handguns. I had one lying around and tried it. It's a tight fit, but once it's on, leaves enough room for the second trigger button to work. IE, it doesn't squeeze it. This makes holding the Sharpshooter MUCH more comfortable. It is painful to use for long hours, the pistol grip sleeve helps this.
Put a piece of foam between the Move controller and the plastic cover. If not, the vibration will cause a loud rattling sound. Very annoying.
You may also want a piece of foam stuck below the trigger guard. This is where a lot of the weight rests. Your middle finger will hurt after a while if not. Or use a glove.

I just bought a PS3 to play this on and I am so glad I did. The calibration rules once you get it down right (sometimes it takes me two-three times). It is so much faster than just using the controls alone. I was able to complete each level faster than I would have if I just had to use the sticks to get the job done. The controls are instinctive once you get some time on them. The only thing I didn't like was the positioning of the select and start switch. I would have to actually have to look at the gun to use select or start, other than that it is totally awesome. The fire selector switch is a god send in the heat of the moment when you need to go full auto or just single fire to get that headshot. The accuracy for me is out of this world. It comes close to RL shooting. If you have good shooting skills this game will confirm that for you. I am really happy with this game and the gun. It will actually give me a chance against those players who are all really good with their hands. It really evens out the playing field if you have problems with just using the sticks. The price is unbeatable, you basically get the gun and game for free. Don't hold back, just buy it and you will see what I mean. I can't wait to use this with Killzone 3 when I am done beating this.

I love playing this game with the move gun! It makes it so much more fun! I played the beta and I wasn't too into it (probably because I sucked the first time), but then my friend got this bundle with the gun and I tried it out again and came to the conclusion that I had to get one today. The rumble feature is the closest thing to actual recoil that I have ever felt for a console game. The bundle is well worth the price too, because the move bundle alone costs like $100. Highly recommended!!!

I have to say that this is the best combination for a shooting game, in fact I found it amazing because I never played move until now, and I can stop playing...The game could be better but you'll find playing this way so amazing that the game will be just right and enjoyable!...So go for it...
The gun is very well done, and is very intuitive in it's use, I mean it's a really good way of playing shooting games, and it turns really amazing playing it in a 3d TV, I fell I'm in the game, but I have found a little bit difficult to control the sensibility of the move controller so I turned it down so I can go slowly while I get used to it...
In overall everything is very well thought for the game, I rather prefer to use the "gun" with Killzone 3, This is the most amazing shooting experience I've ever tried!!! I would encourage everyone to play this game with this deployment....it's really amazing!!!....
For a shotting games fan and a person that has been reactive to buy the move bundle for playstation!....this one it's for you!...you'll love it...
And take a wise advice, buy the mounting clip for the camera, I found it really helpful and it works great!...

First of all, if you didn't like the past Socom games, you probably shouldn't get this game, but if your a newcomer like me or have played through the past socom games and liked it,pick this title up. Second, get this edition before it runs out! this package is a great deal, got it at release day delivery, and i was excited to tear open the packaging. you will find obviously the box what looks exactly like the picture here at amazon. Inside, there is another box which is brown containing a carton divider with socom 4 in shrinkrap, a ps move navigation controller, a ps move camera, psmove motion controller, and some manuels on the top. Take the carton divider thing out, and your ps move shartshooter will be revealed. I will review this product in great detail, so bear with me.
Deal
Great package deal, with the camera ($40) the motion controller ($50), the navagation controller ($30), the game ($60), and the sharpshooter controller ($40) for a total retail value of $220 USD, but you get it for 150, saving 70 dollars and basically getting the game for free and an extra ten bucks. Obviously a great deal. (5/5)
PS move in and out of socom 4
Works very well, and your motions are tracked with nearly pin-point accuracy. Works very well with socom 4, with great sensitivity variaties, and well though out controls, even though it is kind of awkward for me as i have yet to adapt to it. In other games like killzone 3 and the fight, controllers are also exceptionally fluent. The biggest disappointment with this in socom 4 is that if i imagined that the sharpshooter had iron sights or a red dot and looked down the middle, the aim on the screen would be off target. Not a big deal though, it still works fine. (4/5)
Socom 4 Single Player
Socom 4 is fun. The graphics are good by my standards on a 1080p hdtv, and the gameplay is good, with decent enemy ai, ok teammate ais (constantly need to be revived, but is stealthy enough to easily elude detection. You get really pulled in on Socom 4 when using the sharpshooter, as it feels as if you are in the action in a gunfight, moing your "gun" instead of moving a stick like your conventional shooter. Good enough storyline, good acting and interaction animation, more realistic than COD (what isn't). And if you didn't know it already, socom 4 is a team tactical third person shooter, but that doesn't mean you can't aim down your sites. Team coordination is key like in realife, not like COD where you can just charge in independently and expect to kill 10 guys.
smooth single player campain. (4.5/5)
Socom 4 Multiplayer
On the first day, lobbies were full. That says alot about the support socom 4 has from consumers. Weapon customization is easy, and i love the fact that you can customize your class between spawns. There is also a mode where you can face off ais (like combat training in COD BO) that i haven't tried yet. Multiplayer is really fun and another reason to buy this game. I spent six hours already playing it (alot for me). Unlike BO, there has been no lag, no connection failures, and no more " I shoot you ten times in the head with my m16 and you only shot me once in the leg with a makarov" situations. Also, there are more players allowed in each lobby than in COD, but not to the point where there are like 20 enemies surrounding you. (4.5/5)
Overall: One of the best games on the ps3 next to God of War 3. Definitely going to be in the "greatest hits". I don't think we will be seeing a huge price drop coming soon for socom 4 ( wish i could say the same thing for homefront). To me, better than COD, which i feel is overrated, still enjoyable to an extent. I will post an update if anything major (like a change in opinion) occurs.
Socom 4: Full Deployment Edition18/20, or 4.5 out of 5 (round to 5)
