Like 007, but BETTER!

I always wanted 007, but now I think Sarge's Heroes is better! Here's a few cons, before the whole lot of Pros! Cons: One player missions can be frustrating, since you have to start a level all over if you die during one of the multiple tasks per level. In multiplayer mode, the game has frozen a couple of times (I think because we were all pressing the buttons a little too anxiously at the same time). The controls are ok; they take some getting used to. PROS: I have a lot of praise for this game. Great weapons: the deadly flamethrower, the "one shot, one kill" bazooka or grenade gun, the machine gun, sniper, etc. The action is fun, too--partly serious warfare, partly comicalness. You can run around the town, base, etc., or in the bathroom, livingroom, etc. I have never laughed or had so much fun whipping friends as I have it this game. Snipering is the best; I can't explain how funny it is to be snipering your friend unawares, while he is snipering somebody else. I've had Goldeneye fans play the game (once!) & tell me they like 007 better, but having played both a lot, I like Sarge's. You can jump, warp, dive, and sniper in Sarge's, plus the weapons are more fun. You can also turn off the radar during 4-player, which makes for some hilarious encounters. This is THE party game! I recommend this game to everyone; it's a true classic!

Cool, Good Story, Fun, and Easy to Play

This is a classic. The controls are easy, you can learn in five minutes although I must admid turning can be annoying because of sluggishness. Missions are not hard, but they are not easy. A good intermediate game. Large selection of weapons - m-16, 50 caliber, flamethrower, mortar, mines, etc. Fun battles between the green and tan men, to go with a good story. Good graphics and realism, but no sickening violence. Good for kids and adults. Multiplayer is awesome. Codes are also given after each level.

One of the best shooters on 64.

I am very pleased with my purchase of Sarge's Heroes. It is one of those games that will make you late for appointments because you want to finish that level. I love how each mission prepares you for the next. You actualy feel that you are a better player after finishing a level. the multiplayer is great for teaming up with and against your friends.

Great game with 1 big problem

This is a very fun game. I did not get a chance to try out the multiplayer, but the graphics, sound, and weaponry were a blast (literally). The concept of playing as a little plastic guy is loads of fun. The only problem with it: the camera perspective is 3rd person (except when using the sniper rifle in scope mode), and keeping the right point of view (above and behind the player, facing in the same direction) is impossible if in the middle of a machine gun spraying melee. The camera lags behind your turn, so you can easily end up shooting the wrong guy on some levels, because you can't see where you are firing! I would recommend a rental first to see if the camera problem is too much to deal with. At the prices of N64 games, that kind of problem is inexcusable.

pretty sweet game

You will play the game for a while in single player, but then after you finish it it's only going to be multiplayer. AND IT IS FUN, FUN, AND FUN after that, even tough the graphics arent so good, it's just awesome to kick your friend's butts with flame throwers , bazookas, machine guns grenades and so on... The game also require strategy, like hiding on top building and waiting for the enemy to appear, or take cover under bunker, it is just FUNNNNNNNNN!

excellent game

This really is a great game. The single player missions are just great, the panoramas are amazing and the graphics in general are just quite good. There are lots of cool details: the sniper rifle is amazing (much better than that of bond) and you have to use each gun, not like in bond where you just use the biggest, most powerful weapon available. The single player levels are challenging but still doable.

Although the single player levels are good, the multiplayer levels are amazing. It's great fun chasing your friends around with the flame thrower or sniping them or what not.

Buy this game, it's the best option out there on the N64.

okay, but some flaws

army men was a pretty cool game as far as the weapons go. cheats make it pretty fun, but there is still that stressful feeling you get when you turn a corner, or get shot. the controls take some time to master, and it is somehow difficult to run and shoot people. as far as toasting people with weapons, there is no more of a satisfying feeling. but what i am getting to here, is that you shouldn't get up tight if you don't do well- it's a fun but difficult game!

Bad game

I recently rented this game, and I have to say it is a major dissapointment. The storyline is cool, as are the levels you play in (bathroom, kitchen, etc.). But the game's problems are vast. The camera/control combo is just horrid. You will often find yourself doing thoings you didn't want to, or trying unsuccesfully to perform a manuever you should be able to pull off. Also, the enemy intelligence is not up to par with other games. Many enemies will just stare at, not even trying to shoot you. And the levels can get very frustrating because of the control, which will kill you more often then you expect. Overall, a very bad game.

Great detail and loads of fun!

This has been a very enjoyable game to play. The combat is amusing and challenging. The scenario's become more challenging as you progress - not only in missions but length as well. I would highly recommend you go through boot camp first to learn the ropes since the missions require observation and tactical maneuvers. Your character is able to pick up weapons and ammunition as well as medkits and unlike many games, you will be required to think about which weapons to use. Not everything in your inventory is appropriate for the situation at hand. I'd have to say that my favorite weapon is the sniper rifle. I use it to pan the landscape since there is a high-power scope on it. Another very useful inventory item was the mine sweeper. The details on the figures themselves were great. They stand, pose, aim, and crawl in classical toy army men style - and they even have the seams on their bodies just like the "real" thing. There were some things that added to the challenge but they are not mission related. The controls are not always easy to handle. The aiming is a tad slow and your opponents seem to move faster than you do. Also, some glitches in the game may cause your character to become "stuck" into the scenery which you may or may not be able to get out of. The multi-player combat is split screen which can make seeing your character's difficult. You should have a memory pack so that you can save your games, otherwise, you'll just have to finish each mission and use the codes you are given. There's plenty to explore and a lot of fun to be had. A nicely rounded game with enough to keep you busy.
