A DIFFERENT TYPE OF FPS
The graphics are good, not great. The control set-up is good, not great. Online play is good, not great, due to the b.s. you have to agree to, in order to get to online play.
BUT! What is great about this game is that its not the typical run and gun game. The maps are large, the corners, second floors, hill tops, and hinden corners, are vast! You best be tactical, I mean really tactical on how you get around. You got to know when to move and when to sit on a tactical location...and be careful...someone can always be waiting around the corner. If your a true hunter of large game in the forest, you'll love this game; but if your a run and gun type, skip this one.
Its FINALLY Playable!
I have held off reviewing this version of SOCOM because it was released before it should have been. Those of us that were playing the pre-release beta could not believe that Slant 6/Sony were going to release this buggy, laggy game that you could not stay connected to.
However, most problems with the game have now been fixed. The problems that remain are due to game play issues that are quirky, like not being able to throw a grenade around a corner or shoot over a railing you are standing against. Many of these issues are seen in a series of hilarious videos on Youtube entitled "SOCOM is Dead".
Overall its now as good as any of the older SOCOM versions. Graphics are on par with other FPS Playstation 3 games. It's a game where team play is important.
Many people try and compare SOCOM, a non respawn Third Person Shooter, to Call of Duty, a First Person Shooter, mostly respawn game. To me, COD is more arcade like as evident with people not using their mics to coordinate.
If you liked any of the old SOCOMs, you will probably like this new version. It finally has the feel of the older games. There are still some things that don't work in the game play but overall, its a fun game.
If you haven't played SOCOM, its less of an arcade game then the Call of Duty games and less involved then Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 games.

UPDATE June 2009
Slant Six and Sony have really dropped the ball on the SOCOM franchise. 8 months after its release we are still waiting on downloadable maps from the PlayStation Store. While the vast majority of bugs are gone, the wait on downloadable content is being blamed on testing a massive patch that will fix just about everything and add a clan war system. In the meantime, perhaps SOCOM's biggest competitor Activision released Call of Duty: World at War AFTER SOCOM and last week released its SECOND Map Pack. SOCOM has a following, one that Sony truly has put through the wringer with its releasing this title 2 months before a playable patch was released. I saw industry reviews on the initial bug plagued offering as low as 6! Anyway, this patch, 1.5 that has been promised for months may be out any day or as some have joked, in time for the PlayStation 4 system. Those who have played these few maps to death eagerly await new maps.
Great Online game
I just purchased this game a few days ago even though I heard it still had a lot of issues. It will take up quite a bit of space on your hard drive, roughly 3 gbs, luckly I have a 250gb hdd. First off I didn't notice any lag at all, and I couldn't find any issues with this game at all. If you're a fan of great graphics, than this game is not for you, but the gameplay is superb. You do have to have some sort of strategy before you get the mission started. If you decide to run and gun you will probably get shot and killed, there is no respawning either, so you have to make sure you stay alive. Usually what my team does, we usually stick in packs of 2 or 3 just in case we need backup. Also I really like the fact that almost every socom player has a headset, and people actually do use it while playing socom. The headset comes in really handy especially if you decide to travel in packs. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys realistic shooters. Feel free to add me to you're PSN friends list if you wanna play socom PSN ID: solid_snake3656
