Have you ever wanted to join the army, but you knew/know that you can not possibly make it? Well, how about joining the army on the computer--with the new game the army has just released for free? The reason for this is because they want to recruit young computer-playing teens into the army. You can do that. You can go through all the things that the modern American soldier does.

You must go through boot camp, and then later do other military training, such as sniper training, airborne training and ranger training. At the end of your training you can go on the internet and fight with other soldiers to accomplish a list of goals that you must complete.
You can play all of the multiplayer games at servers from gamespy.com. But, unfortunately, the army made a big mistake by using gamespy at gamespy.com; the servers are horrifically unreliable. You can only load a mission about one out of every ten tries. Most of the time, you get a "connection failed" sign at the top of the screen. And it cannot possibly be my computer, because we updated it to everything needed for the game.

It was also quite difficult to get the game onto the computer. The whole game takes a lot of space, which means a long wait to get it on the internet, even though I have a cable modem. So instead, we got the game from burnadisk.com. We only had to pay for shipping there. Here is a list of sites to be able to get the game from the internet:

http://www.goarmy.com
http://www.fileplanet.com
http://www.nvidia.com
http://www.pc.ign.com

Overall, this game is probably not worth your time, even with the patches that the army is coming out with. This game is boring, and the multiplayer has to be considered absolutely nothing, next to a perfect multiplayer area like Nova World.

Next review will be of what I think a much better game, Medal of Honor Allied Assault.
