It looks more like a gun-ho game, rather than a strategy, but with teamwork involved.

I read more about it, and I have to say gun-ho, is the perfect word for it. I think they are marketing the game to the gaming marks, so it\'s abit of a no-brainer type of game. you plan a little bit, then go in w/ guns a blaze\'n. which really isn\'t my cup of tea....but since I\'m a californian i guess it wouldn\'t be my cup of low fat, white chocolate cappucino with extra foam.

Rambo games are fun for a a little while. After a few hours they get old though. Doing the same thing, run and shoot. Ah well, gives good entertainment for the first 30 minutes. And it\'s free, supposedly. *Me wonders what the catch is*

Yeah, there is probably some thing in the warranty thingy saying "I will sell my soul to the army and become a mindless slave for eternity"

Just thinking: Couldn\'t you get the game, and probably sell it to someone? Or pawn it? Easy money

I mean.. the PS3 is going to be a totally online console.. what if they made it to where instead of jus flying a sim jet shooting down terrorists.. you were actually remote controlling a sortie with bunch of machineguns strapped to it. No need for soldiers.. let America\'s video gaming elitists fight our wars for us.

That would be the dumbest idea ever.....

think about it...what if these people playing the game got bored and decided to have a little fun with there fellow comardes and country.

Damn Square.. you don\'t think they\'d be monitered? There could be people sittin back in some dark smokey offices over there in the middle east with full control just to make sure nothing went amiss. Kinda like the brakepedal in the passangerside of a Drivers Ed car ya know?

This reminds me of that great novel Ender\'s Game where

*SPOILER* LOL

the kids think they are training in a RTS strategy game but are really commiting Xenocide by destroying a whole race of aliens. I love that book man.

Exactly what i was thinking.

Enders Game was one of the only books i ever read more than once. Awsome Book
