After a barrage of games featuring marines, and army troops, it looked like the Navy was either no fun or just left out. Now the Royal Navy calling on anyone who ever wondered what it would be like to be in the Navy to test their skills in a new online combat game.

Commando RAID - the new Internet game, is designed to give players a virtual taste of what life is like in the modern Royal Navy. The slick graphics transport players into real life combat situations on land, air and sea, to experience scenarios faced by the Navy team.

Mark Hankey, Lieutenant Commander RNR the Royal Navy's Internet Manager, said: "We wanted to create a game that gives players the feeling that they are a part of today's Royal Navy. RAID certainly does that and more. The game is fun, easy to use and can be downloaded from our website in a matter of minutes. The graphics make you feel part of the intense drama of a real life Navy operation. For anyone wanting to know what it is like to be in the Navy, or the type of work we do, it's a good way to find out more."

Maybe this is a sign of things to come. The Armed Forces have been particularly supportive in the gaming arena, maybe its the Navy's turn, to get some games out there
