I wasted my money

I had never played any army men games before and heard how great they were. I heard about this one and it sounded cool. I can't beleive I actually spent $25 on this. First of all it is so hard and almost imposible. I had to spend another $20 to buy a gameshark and the codes didn't even work. This is the most frustrating video game I have ever played. The graphics aren't good. The 2 player mode is very dark and I could barely see where I was going. The weapons look great and would have been if I got to use some of the good ones but, you have to get far into the game to actually use any good weapons. I have gotten to the 4th level and can never get past it. In the 4th level you have to sneak into a prison camp and shoot open a lock on a cell then escape and have at least one man survive. That was imposible for me because there are guards ALL OVER shooting at you and you don't even know where the helicopter is that you are to be picked up in. Overall this game was terrible, maybe it would have been better if I got to more levels. My advice is to not waste your money on this like I did.

DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

The other day I went out and bought Army Men:World War ....... I had played Army Men 3D and Army Men:Sarge's Heroes earlier that month for the first time, and I thought they were very fun, so I thought World War would only be better. IT IS NOT. Choppy Graphics, some of the worst controls I have ever seen in a game, and AI that is either entirely too dumb, or way too smart. The only fun level is the gunboat level in the second area, but all the rest are boring and repetitive. Don't buy this game, instead go buy Army Men 3D or Sarge's Heroes, cause they are more fun ..................

THIS GAME IS 3DO'S WORST GAME YET!

Army Men 3D was great, I recommend it over this crap. Yes the game had great sound, but horrible control, choppy and grainy graphics, and way too dark! Sometimes I would get stuck behind some little rock and get killed because the controls didn't respond enough. 3DO has been known to rush out their games, but in the past it hasn't affected them, until now. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

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).

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.

What happened?

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.

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!

3 reasons NOT to buy this game

#1 - VISIBILITY. I had to screw with the brightness on my television just so I could see the opening screen right. Everything is in a million shades of green, and you'll be constantly running into obstacles, trying to turn yourself around while an enemy slowly chips away at your health.

#2 - DIFFICULTY. On the easist setting, I still can only get three levels into the game. It's not that I'm a lousy gamer, it's just that certain spots where there may be a concentration of plastic helicoptors, infantry, etc., are next to impossible to get around. I let a friend who is an excellent gamer borrow it for a week, and he couldn't get any farther than I did.

#3 - TWO-PLAYER MODE. Two-player modes are supposed to be fun. This one, well... isn't. The levels are too big, and you'll spend ten minutes hunting down your friend's flag, and once one of you gets the other's flag, it's too easy to cross back over into your territory without getting caught.

Please, I beg of you, don't make this an impulse buy like I did! Rent first, and even then you'll probably feel like you've wasted your money. (1.5 stars)

Shane's review for Army Men World War

This game was pretty fun until you get to level 3, then it is almost inpossible to get past the bridge while a chopper is shooting at you, not to mention about 10 tan troops. The only way I beat the level was with gameshark, but if your going to get a Army Men game...get Army Men Land*Sea*Air or Army Men Sarge's Heroes 1 or 2. Once I got done with level 3 (with a lot of help from gameshark) I took out the gameshark and couldn't even move on the next level without getting shot or wounded. It is also fantasy for you of those who like real war games, it takes nine shots to die! I didn't like this part of the game either, you don't even get a platoon to go through the levels, I mean on Ghost Recon, you get to have a platoon of 6 soldiers. You would probably be better of to play with your little brothers toy soldiers it would probably be funner. I wouldn't recommened you get this game (Save your dough), I would for surely recommened Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Island Thunder. The graphics were pretty bad too, the green soldiers looked like brown soldiers, the forest or the background looked like a water colored painted picture. Save your money get one of Tom Clancy's games or another Army Men game

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.
