Army Men Advance tries to capture the feeling of playing with those green Army guys you can buy by the bag for $1.50, but fails miserably.

The game starts with your choice of either the Sarge or Vikki, though there is no visible difference between the two. You are given a list of mission objectives. To complete each level, you must obtain all of the given objectives. Objectives range from finding keys to free POWs to sabotaging enemy facilities. Of course the objectives grow increasingly difficult as your progress.

The game's overhead view bares a strong resemblance to the 1992 release of Demolition Man on SEGA CD. You use the D-pad to maneuver in the corresponding direction. With unlimited ammo at your disposal, all you need to do is stand diagonally at an angle to your opponent and fire. The AI is terrible at recognizing this strategy and will continue to fire in one of the basic four directions. It is very rare that you will find an enemy actually firing diagonal.

From a visual stance, it appears as if there was little attention to detail. In the character select screen, Vikki has this green haired Malibu Barbie appearance. In the game, she looks like a peach humanoid with a green ponytail carrying a black block. Sarge keeps his full green motif, but looks just like all the enemies, except he is green. The floor remains a monotonous gray, and there is a definite black seem between the characters and the backgrounds. I know you may think I am being harsh on the graphics, but when compared to other games out there, this is just not acceptable.

This is another classic example of a game that should never have been made. If you want the feeling of playing with Army Men, go to your local store and spend $5 on a few bags. The fun will last you longer than this game. 3DO should have either passed this project up or given it more quality. I do not recommend this game, however for those who are still curious, rent it first.

Cartoony goodness

Many people mistake the cartoonish graphics for bad graphics, but they arn't really bad, there just cartoony, and that's exactly what 3DO was going for.
Now for the review of everything else: The controls are quite simple. you (of coures) use the arow control pad to go up down side to side. The A button to shoot (you can also get a machine gun that has 99 bullets that you can continueuselly shoot by holding down the A button) and the B button to throw grenades, shoot a bazooka, and a flame thrower.
There is some times big vehicles that you can shoot down, and they will give you items such as a health pack, or a weapon or two.
There are objectives to complets throughout the game. Such as blowing up all the vehicles, getting keys or getting into buildings, just to name a few.
my only complaint, is that each level has a code, and to get into your current level, you have to enter a code, and unfortuanatelly, after I beat the game, I lost all the codes that I had written down.

There is no music, but thats no big deal for this game.
So overall if you like shoot em up games, but don't want too much violence, as well as vast and varied levels I highly recomend this game.

Sincerelly: Glowis

Now you either love or hate this game (most people hate it) but I love it! See the graphics are not 'advanced' but they are clean and appealing 5 stars. The gameplay is sometimes repetitive but it's still plenty of fun throwing grenades and stuff and the missions are simple but nice 4 stars. The sound is pretty good but some parts sound like a game boy could use them with no trouble! 3 stars. The controls are almost as if the game boy advance was designed for this one game! 5 stars. Lastability, now somebody wrote in a review "I beat this game in 20 minutes" (somebodys telling tales) which is basically impossible without cheats because even if it's really easy it'll take you to long to walk to the end after doing objectives with 12 missions. You will finish it fairly easily if your use to these games but if your not...;). 4 stars. Replay Value, is very good in this you just wanna come back for more! 5 stars.

This game is just bad

I liked some Armymen Games but this is just as bad as Sarges Hero's 1. The horrible looking charactars and bad looking stages. But the horrible combat system doesn't help either.

this game is the lamest game of all. Save your money and try to buy the other army men game when it comes out. I bet it will be a lot better than this one. I would of givin this game a 0 of stars but thats the lowest is one. The levels are so easy and the graphics are not that good. The sound is pretty good but not great.

This game is a pathetic waste of money. It doesn't at all use the full power of the GBA at all........Personally, I got my game boy only yesterday, but I already have or have played 14 games......and this one was the worst.......Save your money on the release of Grand Theft Auto.....

3 and a half actually...

This game is pretty cool. It's not very hard and it's pretty repetitive, but it's also very fun. Younger kids will have a blast with it, but older gamers such as myself will soon look for other avenues of challenge. Buy Castlevania, Mario, Tony Hawk, and Rayman first, then think about this one.
