Reasonable graphics, ok sound effects but no real pleasure gained. There's nothing wrong with the game - certainly no glitches or anything - and I guess it's quite well programmed, but I just don't find it that entertaining.
As games go, it wasn't the most fun game I've ever played but it was still quite entertaining. It's just... after the first couple of levels the game sort of loses appeal. Quite a novel mechanic though, and the tree did look quite cool.
A fun game - you're torn between playing hangman and building up your army. What I will say is that the game is quite tricky, even on easy - some of the categories for the words were rather vague (I wouldn't have classed "****** research" as medical, for example) but that's probably down to my mind than the overall gaming mechanic.
But yeah, a game that I got really into really quickly! Good job.
An interesting mechanic! It's quite minimalist. There's something about the style that reminds me of achievement unlocked - what would you call that, Flash Grunge? Anyway, yeah the sounds are all good but due to its very concept it lacks little replay value. Still, fun and a challenge!

This is great! :D
I loved it when I saw it on b3ta, but this is a much improved version. The opening animation is a nice touch.

Why is this here?
It's really more of an advert. :/

Very good game
I must say I really do enjoy this series. It would be nice if Newgrounds featured this in the "mature" section of the site.

Farewell!
You've probably gone to the army by now anyway, but here's hoping you pull on through! Good luck. : )

It's just not very fun...
