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.
