Army Men World War

I was very disappointed with this newest addition to the Army Men series. Compared with the last release, Army Men Sarge's heroes, this game is terrible. With other games out there like Medal of Honor and Sarge's Heroes, this game is like playing Pong (the original Pong) I can describe this game in one word... primitive. Don't waste your time (or your money) They obviously didn't put any effort into this game at all (and it shows).

Less than original

Armymen Worldwar is not an improvement from Armymen 3D. The graoics are weaker, the levels are shorter, and the gameplay is slower. Don't get me wrong, the game is still fun but the gameplay is so slow that you feel like you are going to crush the controller just to turn around. The map is cofusing compared to the original. You can't tell where you are or where you're going. On the up side, the sound is realistic and the themes are good - no cockroaches or tennis shoes to deal with. But all in all it falls a little short of the original.

COOL

The game is great, the reason i picked it up is for some reason a while back, i was interested in World War 2 and i also love the Army Men Series, then this game came out, the best part i would say is the multiplayer. The game has real nice, sweet sound to the explosions and the gameshots are nice to. The reason i took one star off is there wasnt really an improvement on the graphics like Sarges Heros but its a fun game, oh yeah, they added a new vehicle (PT Boat) and the tank now has a cannon and a machine gun. They also added the new weapon of the Bayonet for taking guys out with stealth. The Tans brains seem to have gotten bigger to, if there patrolling an area and its a mission where you arent suppose to be caught and they here your gun shot, they will run, dive back behind a rock, sandbag, etc. and pop up and shoot you so it makes it harder. The game also made the basic rifle have a better sound to it. They also added the Combat Cam which if you can remember, was in Army Men 3D where it has the camera up about 5 inches away from the end of the gun at an angle so they took the crosshairs off that was in Sarges Heros. Overall, its a great game, i highly recommend it if you like World War 2 combat.

Not anywhere as good or fun as the original Armymen 3D. This game has one and two player modes. The graphics and fighting environments have been "improved". There are times when your soldier cannot walk under a leaf or around a small rock, the zoom feature which worked so well in the original has been replaced with an inferior much slower zoom/aim feature. Ammo crates so easy to see and obtain in the original have been replaced by icons that are hard to see against the background of plants and rocks. In two player mode you are not able to assign your allies to attack or defense, the computer does it for you. While playing the computer I noticed the artificial intelligence seemed to get confused, for example while attacking a villiage a bunch of tan soldiers ran to attack me, they then stopped and stood there while I blasted away at them. You are often able to stand in sight of the enemy and get no reaction, even in the hard setting. Many actions are slower than in Armymen 3D. On the bright side it is better than Sarge's Heros, there are no bathtub battle senarios, this is more realistic. It is cool the way you have to "finish off" the wounded enemy. I was real excited about this game, I bought the day it went on sale, it was a real let down to me. We will just have to keep playing the original to have fun game play. You will find nothing like Snake Canyon, Cabin Fever or Tanks Alot in this new game, sorry back to the drawing board.

Best Army Men game to date!

At firt I thought that the game was realy borring because it had a realy slow start, but once I got through the first batch of levels, I fell in love! The graphics were great and the multiplayer was so much fun. The world war two story line was the coolest. The only thing that could stand t improve is the new aming system. Half the time I couldn't see the target because the chatectors shoulder was in the way. This is definatly one to check out.

This Game is a Disaster!

Personally, I thought that all of Playstation's Army Men titles were pretty lackluster! The graphics failed to maintain my interest for more than ten minutes and I found that navigating your way through certain levels was a major pain in the arse, especially the first level! To tell you the truth, I found N64's version of Sarge's Heroes to be a more thoroughly entertaining game - a real challenge. The graphics might be a bit cartoonish to some but I thought the controller configuration was a lot more manageable. It's too bad that N64 hasn't developed a version of Army Men: World War. My advice is: refrain from buying any of Playstation's Army Men titles and hope to god that Nintendo decides to put out their own version of World War. Nintendo does have its merits!

No cooperative two player mode like Air Attack

This game is good on the easy setting. But it lacks the two player mode for cooperative play like Air Attack has. Prerelease information from 3do indicated there was a cooperative 2-player mode. Not the greatest; not the worst.

DISAPPOINTED!

I wasted countless hours reading info on this game. I thought this would make my Dad play video games with me and instead it was a game that I made him return. Don't get me wrong I love war games, but this game had nothing going for it. To begin with, the first 4-5 levels are a visual mess; all the objects on the screen seem to melt into a solid green blur. You can barly see your own guy let alone the enemy. The next problem concerned the aiming system. It was the worst that I have ever seen in my 15 years of gaming. You have to spray a certain area until you are able to direct your line of fire to the exact spot you want to shoot. I could go on and on about this game. I'm begining to think that I should buy the game back and smash it on the ground so that no other gamer has to go through what I did.

Awesome!
