Reception
SOCOM II was generally received well by critics. Both PSM and the Official PlayStation Magazine (now merged) gave this title perfect scores, hailing it as a "near-perfect game." It received a 92 from EGM, which cited deeper, more fun multiplayer modes as a positive. While many reviewers considered it among the best PS2 online experiences at the time, a few reviewers criticized it, calling it inadequate compared to PC and Xbox online experiences.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
