DB writes: "The third edition of America's Army has brought several new features, including a new graphics engine. America's Army 3 (AA3), like its predecessors, is the true "murder simulator" (as Jack Thompson puts it), because, well, it's made by the US Army to recruit new soldiers. We won't go into the debate about the game and the Army and the politics of using games to brainwash recruit new soldiers, we'll focus on the game here.
In AA3, you play either as the US Army (the good guys) or the Opposing Force (generic terrorists/baddies). As in previous AA games, you create a soldier, and through battles, you earn XP and level up, unlock new items and so on. None of this is new, but it's not supposed to be. It's there and it works as it should, or rather, as advertised."
