    So does Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection offer the quintessential Final Fantasy IV experience? Absolutely. While I may still have a soft spot for the DS remake, this version delivers the most faithful adaptation of... Read more

    • Fantastic visuals, lots of content, over 60+ hours of gameplay
    • Too many random battles, lots of level grinding involved

    At the time this was the series that showed what the PS2 was capable of in the online arena, so its run of the mill debut on PS3 is more than a little disappointing. Read more

    • Solid team play, Reasonably priced
    • Steep learning curve, Bland visuals

    Because SOCOM is running smoothly most of the time, it is fun to play. You get what you expect from an online shooter and the different maps are varied, though some more wouldn't have hurt. Read more

    • Tactics are important, Bugs from the beta are gone
    • No single player, Only 7 maps

    Few games nowadays stand the test of time. We may see some half hearted attempts at sequels but rarely do they better the original. This is particularly the case when it comes to Shoot-Em-Ups. So many have come and gone. Read more

    • Great game play, Good use of Motion Sensitive Controls, Loads of game modes
    • Can only be played online, No chance for offline practising, not good for newbies, Useless map

    Slant Six has done a great job in bringing SOCOM to the current generation. Read more

    • Realistic weapons, Responsive controls, Intricate map design
    • Player movement is sometimes awkward, Lack of online communication the majority of the time

    Very dissappointed with this version, it still needs a lot of work, They should have taken more time and added a single player mode as well, maybe they should have kept zipper on it. Read more

    • Graphics, some of the original maps are back as well as the weapons, Character build.
    • Has a Ghost Recon feel, movement is sluggish regardless what equipment set-up you have, to many techinical issues. Does not feel like a SOCOM game.

  • if you quit a clan do you lose trophies or rank level

    Answered by Bobby 2009-09-08:

    The level system is based on an experience scale and has absolutely nothing to do with kill death ratio. Obviously, having a good KDR will help your odds of levelling up, but its not everything. So, if you quit, you'll lose the chance to level
