ONE OF THE BEST
This is one of the best FPS out there at the moment. Its got every thing realistic sigle player ranging from training in various skills, to missions improving your skills and team work. Then don't even get me started about the online playing. Some of the greatest maps, weapons, and positions on teams. One of the greatest features is that fact that you gain skill experiance and put points under what skills you want to be better at, such as..Leadership, stealth, honour, life saving, marksmenship, and many more. So if you havent yet go out and get this game it is great fun with xbox live or not.

this game is a very good game even if you dont like Military. Although it wasnt has good as the PC game (if you have a choice between the PC version and this one get the PC version). The different weapons and levels are good. But there is little re-play value (except to maybe boost your stats) and there we was some gliches i.g. Bad guys dont shoot at you when your 3 feet away. Not saying the AI is bad but..... its not the best. Overall this is a good game and worth the money. hope this help!

This review is from: America's Army: Rise of a Soldier (Video Game)

Game has too many bugs/programming flaws. You can walk right through your teammates. They sit right on top of you when you're trying to shoot enemies, preventing you from shooting and getting you killed. Missing animations, such as people shooting non-existent rifles; enemies standing literally in the face of your teammates and neither engages each other, etc.

Gameplay is too linear - you are forced to stay with your squad, which militarily makes sense except in certain circumstances (e.g. your teammate is injured and you attempt to perform first aid).

Also, there is no ability to save in mid-mission, except where the game provides checkpoints. However, you cannot quit and reload at the checkpoint, you have to begin the entire mission all over again.

Too bad, as the idea of the game and a lot of the game play is entertaining.

Recommended alternative: Ghost Recon 2 series.
