A Top 3 Army Men Game

Hello,im here to review my latest game,army men RTS.its another one of those games where the Green Soldiers fight the eviTanArmy.It,however,does not follow the army men tradition, which includes blasting holes in everything that stands.It requires planning, technique, skill,and sometimes,replays.First,you have to collect resources,plastic and electricity,which can be retrieve by objects,(batteries,action figures,vhs tapes,etc. Then you have to create soldiers,using "barracks".You can create Grunts (basic riflemen),grenadiars(grenade throwers)minesweepers,machine gunners,bazooka men,mortar men,and snipers. Then you lead them into battle with "heroes",which wee the main characters in the previous games.

But,you also have to think about the enemy.For example,snipers are able to take out a whole squad of grunts and other infantry with ease,however would get murderedat the sight of a few half-tracks!You must balance your army strengths and weaknesses,or have your legions be reduced to puddles.(also the "send in 100 grunts tactic, doesnt work, a few enemy outposts, and you will be crippled.)

This game also has great replay value.every time you play, you can think of a new strategy, like adding more snipers and mortar men to slaughter buildings and kill soldiers easily.There are 32 different battles,and 3 difficulty levels.play them on hard.Also,you play in the Real world and the Plastic world.

so,time to rate the game.

FUN 4.5/5
replay value 5/5
strategy required 3.5/5
humor 4.5/5 (never expected Sarge to get bleeped out)
overall 4/5
Id say,buy it if its below 15 bucks.well then, ,go kill a craxy col. Blintz

yeah

this game definitely lives up to the words on the back of the box:"the army men game you'v been waiting for!".wait.before I get started,let me tell you what made the previous army men games so bad that this title remembered to not to do.the last ones didn't realistically get the true feeling of war.for example,in green rogue,you are all by your self against a large,locked and loaded army.and in like army men world war for pc,its just you'r 3 or 4 men vs.the big tan army.well,in this game,you got to make a base and command lots and lots of soldiers, making a fight with your grunts and choppers vs.thier grenaders feel more like a real battle or campaign.while it is tons of fun,what if it has some small,and possibly EXTREME,problems?

good idea, but could use work

When I bought this game I htought it would be geter then it was, dont get me wrong its a good game but 3DO has almost betrayed the idea of little plastic men this game has more then just your basic plastic army men we played with as kids theres little toy robots with a firecracker taped to its back whats up with that?! I was also looking forward to flamethrowers but do they have flamethrowers? NO! and it use better music too and a better over head view rather then up and to the side type of view. enough about whats wrong about the game I'll tell you whats good about the game. the main thing thats good about it is that this is what many army men fans have been waiting for: army men Command&Conquer style! the gerneral game play is good(eventhough you run outa energy very quikly) when you get use scorch you do actually get to see the enemy melt (very fun to watch and control) graphics are ok-good (better then early C&C games,lol) its impossible to use just one kind of unit you'll run out of energy to build tanks or choppers infantry die too easily when attacking (or defending for that matter) this game is best when you have huge amounts of green troops vs. huge amounts of tan troops (just like the backyard wars you used to have your toy solders) but you may not agree with all my cons so go to 3do.com and download the free demo first. good game but needs fices when 3do come out with a patch or expansion for it.

Looks awesome

I haven't yet bought this game. I have downloaded and played the demo though, and I have to say, it looks like by-far the best game ever. Exactly the kind of game I have been waiting for, Army Men, with gameplay like Command and Conquer. I am looking forward to buying this game.

This Game looks great

This is a great game.I don`t see why this game is rated for teens.I`m nine years old.It doesn`t have too much blood and gore in it.I haven`t bought the game yet,but i got the demo.It`s graphics are great.It`s virtually based on the little green and tan dudes you can find in any $1.00 store.It has different units and vehicles.I`m trying to convince my mom into paying me allowance.(She alwaty says it builds character and that kind of crud.)I`m hoping I can buy it.

Very Cool!

This is one of the most exciting Army Men games I have ever played! There is a lot of action, plus the graphics and sound are crisp and clear.

This game rocks!

This is the best of the army men games. If you are expecting a shooter (like Quake 2), this is not it. It is an RTS game like Warcraft or Command & Conquer. I think the graphics are good and the gameplay is great. I won't go into detail about the game since the other reviews seem to have covered most things. I would like to add this though. The single player mode is not much of a challenge. I highly recommend playing this game online in multiplayer mode (i.e. on Gamespy). The maps are very different and from 2 to 8 people can play at once. The young guys I played were pretty good and generally kicked my rear. They would gather 30 or more tanks and choppers and invade me. It is an addicting game. I have not played in a year or more. But I would guess there are still players at Gamespy. It is addicting. There is quite a bit of strategy, especially if you play teams (one team versus another team). This is a very overlooked game for multiplayer. One day, I would like to connect two computers so my son and I can play against one another. I am disappointed that there has never been a sequel or mappack releases for this game. Anyway, I highly recommend this game for kids as well as adults. I closely watch what I allow my son to play and have no problems with him playing this.

Plastic war like never before

This game is great! I've downloaded the demo,which you can get at the 3do website and most game-downloading sites, but it only lets you play one mission. I haven't bought it yet, but I am going to convince my mom to get it for me. But from what I've read from the 3do site and the screenshots I've seen, this is what the basic idea of the game is: You make little green plastic people, vehicles, and buildings and try to stop the evil tan army from taking over. Everything happens in a "toy" enviorment: someones property. You might be outside, in the basement, in the kitchen, in the garage, in a bedroom, etc. If a someone gets shot to much or meets its doom from Scorch (an awesome flame thrower) you can watch little blobs of plastic fly of them until they explode and melt into a blob of plastic. You can send little dump trucks out to collect plastic from frisbees, dog bowls, other toys, previously melted vehicles or people, and lots of other stuff. You can also collect electricity that the vehicles need from watches, walkie talkies, radios, and other things. Then you can use the plastic in molding machines (barracks, garages, etc.)to make new people or vehicles. You also have to defend yourself from ants, a robot with fire crackers on his back, and other various things. There are 15 missions to do and also some other secret missions ranging anywhere from 5 min. to an hour and a half to complete. Your goal in the missions is to get gold medals on all of them. Along with each mission there are two extra things to do like: finish in less than 30 min., find all power-ups, destroy all tan, kill all ants, etc. If you complete the mission you get a bronze medal, if you also do one extra thing you get silver, if you do both extras you get gold. You can play multiplayer with a friend (on two different computers of course) and go through a boot camp tutorial. It takes a lot of stategy, and the AI is great but the tan won't ever use its barracks and garages to make new reinforcements, which makes it a tad easier. It has amazing graphics, great music, and lots of options. It goes quite extreme for being based on the simple, green, soft plastic soldiers. I've played other Army Men games, and this one tops them all. This is the best game I've ever played! Another great game from 3do. BUY IT!!!

(The 'Teen' rating on it really is just there to look good. Its really not all that violent. Yes, there are guns and they fire, there's this whacky fat tan guy with a chunk of his blown off and three green skulls on his necklace, and if you kill an ant there's a splatter of bug juices, but its okay. I'm not saying you play with teddy bears and count flowers, but honestly, it's not that bad.)
