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.

Not just for kids.

I have played every PC Army Men game released and though this isn't the best, it is a very solid game. The graphics are good, but not great. The music is good, but not great. But the gameplay is very good. The AI is very good also as any of the med trucks close to a building and/or your units automatically goes and repairs it. The dump trucks collect what you need most whether it is plastic or electricity. And each campaign you play has 2 other objectives to achieve. If you achieve those 2 and beat that campaign, you get a gold medal. Miss one you get a silver medal. Miss 2 and you get a bronze. You need to get all gold medals (and that ain't easy) to open bonus missions underneath the Great Battles option ( make sure you play this on hard because that is the requirement for 3 or 4 missions). If you don't, you will miss out on a couple of Great Battles. There are some cool features like the radio operator who can call in an air drop of 5 extra machine gunners, a bombing run, and even a magnifying glass to melt a building down. There are robots with firecrackers on their backs, minelayers, tanks, helicopters, and many more units to choose from.
The cutscenes are pretty well done and there is some good comedy (though sometimes cheesy). You also get to fight ants and other various bugs and you fight on many different landscapes from the front yard to the basement to the kitchen counter and more. I really enjoyed this game though it will probably never be a classic. Just straight forward and challenging fun. The worst thing about this game is the lack of being able to fight against the computer on a map of your choice. Other than that, melt away.

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 rocks!

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.)

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.

Simple and too light(not hard)

Popular or not army men games are known as unique and classic games that shows us one of the ways how to make a game fun.
This is the first RTS style game of the army men games and it is fun, but too light to call a classic.

The game style is similar to C&C and it's 3D renderd(looks great).
And as I already said it has tons of that unique army men humor(i.e. melting doggy bowl for resourse, pencil fences, weird characters, take over the PS2 mission(-_-), Saving lego people from the enemy and stuff) that makes us smile as we play.
And there are unlockables and other fun things(plastic is resourse, and you even use one from destroyed buildings and units.)

But despite the fun things this game has this game is just too light(that is, not hard or challenging and not the kind of game that you have to use all of your head to move on.)
So players that wants challenging experience will be a bit disappointed.

So if you're the kind of person that lives on games(who purchase only 1~2 games a year) I don't really won't recommende this title because of the lightness and might be disappointed.

But if you buy lots of games it's a good time passer and not a bad title to own(remember it's an ARMY MEN GAME).

Overall, an average 3 and a half star game with great unique army men contents.

Oh, and if you like this I recommend the orginal army men(sequels are better) titles(hard to find one these days).

Plastic war like never before

I have downloaded the full version and its a great game. I dont understand why its rated teen. Must be because of the violence. But I think its a great game for kids. Because your not going out and shooting real people. But like u would play in the backyard in the sandbox. It is a great game. I'm 15 and i reall enjoyed it. The game is not really challenging for the people that like to play hard RTS games. But its just real fun. I have played a bunch of Army Men games in the past and this one by far is the best. I think everyone should get it. MY parents even like it. Wich is kind of a first :D

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.
