Should I buy Socom 1? I have 2 and 3 but I play on 2. Is it worth the buy just to see all of the maps?

i dunno, i might get a ps3, but I have 2 and 3 and im a huge of 2 so i was just wondering if it was worth the money to get 1

No not really socom 1 isnt too good, socom 2 is the best, socom 3 better than socom 1 but not better than socom 2

socom 1 is good for the offline, but online, it's nothing compared to 3, regarding glitching and options "/ unless you're a mass glitcher and like running around in mountains, i wouldnt suggest it if it's for the online experience...

s1 is worth it. Try it only costs like 7$ and it's getting more players. I would say yes but the decision is up to you.

Socom I is good. The hit detection is excellent. It's just boring because in online mode, the clan is useless and there's no friend list. Also, the quality of the mic is really weak. The maps are the same except Abandoned and Rat's Nest daytime.

Its only $5 you might as well, no harm done. Its a good game if you play with you're friends.

Gameplay wise, it is how Socom is meant to be. Yes there are very few "cosmetic" options such as friend lists, e-mails, message boards, ect. but the gameplay is much better. The maps are the same with only few differences between S2 and S1. The original maps are Blizzard, Ruins, Desert Glory, Frost Fire, Night Stalker, Abandoned, Bitter Jungle, Blood Lake, Rat's Nest, and Death Trap. You would suprised to hear Abandoned and Rat's Nest were amongst the most popular maps of the game.

The only real problems S1 had were the massive amounts of glitches and ability to use 3rd party devices on your console to cheat and hack their systems. They released a version of Socom1 in February 2003 known as "the february version" which prevented the user from doing many of the known glitches from the earlier version release in August 2002. Any copy you rent or buy now will have most of the glitches disabled. The only thing to worry about would be the hackers.
