America's Army: True Soldiers

The game that began as a free PC download has made its way to retail shelves with this Xbox 360 iteration, but it looks as if most of the fun was lost in transit.

We could literally go ad nauseum on and on about the problems with America’s Army: True Soldiers: massive clipping, mission cue mishaps, lack of checkpoints in the training and War Game missions. On the brighter side, America’s Army: True Soldiers is mil-spec due to its governmental support, so there is a good lesson to be learned here about the current weapons and tools used by our troops so they can protect and serve. But if America’s Army: True Soldiers is an indication of the quality of these weapons or tools deployed to our troops—or of the quality of the training or tactics deployed by our military—then we are in big trouble. Avoid this one like jungle rot unless you really need schooling on modern military tools and nomenclature.
