Embark on the ultimate special ops mission as SOCOM: Special Forces arrives on PlayStation®3 (PS3™) today

SYDNEY, 21st April 2011 – Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) today welcomes the return of the multi-million selling, critically acclaimed SOCOM® franchise as SOCOM: Special Forces infiltrates PlayStation®3 (PS3™). Your mission is to take charge of an elite commando unit on a covert operation in the depths of Southeast Asia. You have just six days to capture the leader of a militant terrorist organisation known only as Naga, which is attempting to destabilise the global economy. The latest high tech weaponry, intelligence and air support is all at your disposal. Your mission begins now.

Objectives:
Engage and neutralise Naga in the hostile environment of Southeast Asia. NATO forces sent to pacify the situation are decimated and all that is left is you and your squad of highly decorated elite operatives. Teamwork is crucial to your success. A tough opponent, the Naga is highly trained and exhibiting advanced military behaviour – be aware of enemy flanking, bounding and covering fire. You will need to lead from the front issuing strategic orders to outmanoeuvre your enemy with ambushes and air support. Silenced weapons and a stealth meter will also help you gather intel and sabotage enemy targets without being detected.

Equipment:
Fully compatible with the PlayStation®Move motion controller and PlayStation®Move Sharp Shooter you’ll feel fully immersed in the battle. Developed by Zipper Interactive and Guerrilla Games the PlayStation®Move Sharp Shooter is an intuitive weapon system thanks to the precise accuracy of the PlayStation Move Controller. For the first time in SOCOM history you can also experience all the action in stunning stereoscopic 3D – shoot, throw grenades and unleash deadly close quarters attacks with unrivalled realism.

Online Resources:

Take your mission online. Compete for medals and new weapons with up to 32 players across a range of terrains in the online multiplayer experience. You and an elite squad of up to five friends can embark on your own customised missions with the SOCOM: Special Forces co-operative multiplayer mode. Alter enemy numbers and difficulty levels, then link your custom missions together to create your own co-op campaign.
