sniping and blasting their way through eight intense missions. Players
fight enemies with multiple assault rifles, C4 explosives and knives
as they make their way through moving vehicles and power lines,
machine gun turrets, flying birds, swaying trees and explosives.
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Mobile Recon allows mobile thrill seekers the
ability to relive the SOCOM experience, anytime, anywhere.
"SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Mobile Recon transforms the popular and
familiar SOCOM world into an exciting made-for-mobile experience,"
said Minard Hamilton, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing
of JAMDAT Mobile Inc. "The title has been a runaway success in North
America, and, through our European launch, we will be able to reach a
tremendous group of both wireless gamers and SOCOM fans throughout
Europe."
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Mobile Recon has already received rave
reviews from influential gaming Web sites, including:
GameDAILY (rated 4 out of 5)
"JAMDAT is the leader in making quality software for these
platforms, and SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs Mobile Recon is yet another
shining example of how this company outperforms the competition. The
fine attention to detail as well as the commitment to creating an
enjoyable gameplay experience (and following through on both of those
points) has become the publisher's pedigree for success, and I hope a
deal is struck with Sony to produce a sequel."
IGN Wireless (rated 9 out of 10)
"Like JAMDAT's DOOM RPG, SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Mobile Recon feels
more like a video game that you just happen to play on a cellphone
rather than a video game you can just tell was crammed on to a
handset. Don't miss this one."
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs and SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs set the
standard for online console gaming tactical team-based gaming, selling
over six million units on the PlayStation 2 platform to date, making
the franchise among the best-selling squad-based war strategy titles
of all time. SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs broke online console
penetration records within the first two days of its release. Other
SOCOM titles include SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs, the third title in the
popular, squad-based war strategy game franchise, and SOCOM: U.S. Navy
SEALs FireTeam Bravo, the franchise's first title for the award
winning PSP(TM) (PlayStation(R) Portable) system.
