Raw Recruit pits you as a soldier looking to prove your worth by completing six challenging events. Your goal is to qualify by completing all six, but you can also aim for the highest score possible even if you don't succeed in one event.
The game takes you through various environments - starting with the Rifle Range where you need to hit 16 targets to pass, followed by the Pistol Range which adds a twist with hostages involved. Other events include Cross Country and Assault courses that test your running and jumping skills, as well as Tug-O-War and Fitness challenges that push your strength and endurance.
