This game is cool. One bad plastic soldier, four big weapons (each one with SIX levels of upgrade, each one more devastating than the last!), one sweet smart-bomb attack, great explosions, great intro movie, and constant mayhem...!

At first I had trouble with it because I was trying to shoot everything and hit them before I die.d Then I realized that you gotta dodge first and shoot while you do. It's like the old arcade games of the '70s like Robotron and Contra... just guys swarming at you constantly, and you're layin' down the lead...

oh yeah, the other thing is you MUST pick up the same powerups in sequence to upgrade your weapon. If you keep switching weapons you never upgrade. upgrading is key and if you get all the way to max upgrade, your guy morphs into an even bigger, badder guy who takes less damage from enemy fire.

Surprise! - It's good

I was hesitant buying Green Rogue, but there are few arcade style shooters available (especially for the PS2). Army Men game in the past have been just "fair"- (in my opinion). Green Rogue it truly addicting. If you're looking for a deep strategy game, pass this one up. There's no complex mission here, just pick up and play. The concept is simple, shoot the "evil" tan troops (they are plastic, there's no blood in site) while marching through various types of terrain. Nice effects and a good dash of humor. I honestly haven't completed all 16 missions, but I'm determined to do so ;=)

Pretty good..

Green Rouge is an okay game. The bad part is you just keep moving unless you kneel. And then you have to shoot backwards. There arent many weapons, but the graphics are cool. Don't buy it, you may want to rent it though and see for yourself.

how did it get released, its horrible

i have played army men games for PS1 and they were ok to good. and i played and beat Sarges heros 2 for PS2, so i exchanged it for green rouge thinking it would be as good as sarges heros 2 which was good fun. the only thin i really enjoyed about this game was when i took it out of my system. the controls are terrible, you get pushed along and miss tons of guns, upgrades, and health, there is only like 3 or 4 bad weapons that arent effective til upgraded, the aiming is immpossible and after you pass a tan soldier he can still shot you, with out you being able to shoot back. dont buy this game, dont even waste your money renting it. if i could i would have given it 0 stars

The Game of the Year

Whoever created this game needs to be dealt with immediately by being put through some training. I wish I had their job so I could of at least put a little thought into this. My 2 year old son could of made a better game than this. Or maybe it was a 2 year old kid that created it. Besides all this it was an allright game to rent but wouldn't buy it. The idea was cool but the controls and getting forced to walk forward was a bit annoying. The weapons upgrading was cool but some weapons would fire too slowly when they were fully upgraded.

Excellent Game !!!

Despite the bad reviews I decided to buy the game and see for myself. I don't understand why there are such bad reviews. This an excellent game. Quite challenging at first but when you get the hang of it. It's awesome. I recommend it !!!

Theres one thing I can't stand is Fighting game/RPG/Surviaval horror game spammers or just plain Gaming snobs who just think Such companies Like This IS CRAP CRAP and CRAP, THE ARMY MAN GAMES HAVE ALWAY BEEN GOOD and fun just sometimes 3D has Problems with Bugs in there games A good Example of it Is Warroirs of Might and Magic but It can be beaten... ok enough with that I think This game has REALLY nice Graphics for A PS2 "PORT" of a PS1 game and I almost like the controls exect that they need to do better with the left analog against the tans. This game is Basicly like a Graidus clone only Your a Bulky Guy on foot and your shooting Tan guys and stuff. thats the way I say

A poor excuse to release a quick game

This is the first game in the ARMY MEN series that I've played. Friends told me that the past titles were innovative and clever. If what they had to say is true, then the 3DO company didn't transfer their talents to this game. Even though the game is laid out in a three dimensional setting, I felt as though I was playing 2D Contra on the old NES. Each level is basically the same terrain, but colored differently to give you a sense of "oh, these must be the mountains" or "hey, now we're in the forest." You have no real decisive power on where the Green Rouge travels or even what pace to keep. A continually scrolling landscape pushes you along as you pummel the tans with a weak targeting system. Long, monotonous, stagnant, boring. If you absolutely must see this game firsthand, then I suggest a quick trip to your local rental store. Even then, you will most likely turn around and drop it in the return box the same day. Erase this one from your curiosity synapses.

Don't waste your time and money

This game is horrible. I have played a couple of the Army Men games for the PS1 and really enjoyed them, especially two player mode. They were fairly simplistic, but all in all, good fun. So I was very interested when the Army Men: Green Rouge came out for the PS2, but I could not believe how bad this game is. The only thing that I liked was the opening movie. Other than that, the weapons are slow, the game is always forcing you forward which gives you little control over your soldier, the ability to aim your weapon is difficult to impossible, and thier is no two player mode. 3DO should be ashamed for releasing such a poor game! I want my money back and more importantly, the small amount of my life that I wasted trying to play this game.

Another... Game from 3DO

What can I say? It's 3DO. I don't think 3DO has made a good game since...well...ever. Here's the basic premise of the game: You, a little green piece of *something*, decide to run around shooting little tan pieces of *something*, however, it's so hard to do this, that you might as well use this disc as a frisbee.

Best Feature: It turns off!
Worst Feature: Everything after pressing "Start"

Final Score: zero out of any number, this game blows!
