New “America’s Army” has look, feel of real warfare
There are so many tactical shooters on the market right now that I wasn’t very excited when another showed up for me to review this week.
But “America’s Army: True Soldiers” (Rated T for Teen) — which was co-developed with the U.S. Army — saved me from being burned out.

I’m definitely not trying to knock other reviewers too harshly, but I find it strange that anyone could come out of this game with a positive review. Their final rating of the game is a B, while our final grade was a generous 3/10. Game journalists definitely have a long way to go, considering reviews are just so hard to put a lot of value into these days. I had high hopes for True Soldiers. My hopes were crushed within about 20 minutes of actually playing the game.
