The US Navy is looking to follow in the footsteps of America's Army. A new game on the horizon, Navy Training Exercise: Strike and Retrieve will be free to download from the official US Navy website. The Navy are holding nothing back in terms of the game's overall purpose, which is to interest you men and women in joining the Navy.
Some critics are calling the use of interactive software for recruitment, cynical and divisive. There's no word of a release date for the game just yet.
The Navy Recruiting Command hopes the title will "help build interest and awareness of Navy high-tech jobs," and the title is designed to give you a taster of life on the high-seas, as you race to the scene of a crashed plane to retrieve secret documents, battling underwater terrain and sea life in a race to the plane with enemy craft. "While Navy Recruiting continues to reach out to this audience via more conventional recruiting methods, gaming and interactive electronic media have increasingly become an aspect of this audience's daily lives," said Capt. David Faasse. "Accordingly, the Navy is working to reach them via these new avenues."
