A mixed bag. [Posted on 2002-09-16] Army Men RTS tries really hard. I will definetely admit that. However, the game is too simple for dedicated RTS fans. If you like a hardcore RTS, you are much better off with Warcraft 3 or Commandos 2. Most of the game is too simple, and can end up feeling like RTS for beginners. Which is not a very good thing because ther is not enough depth to the combat. And that hurts the replay value. But for those of us who relate our Army Men experience to playing Sarge's Heroes 2 or Air Attack, things are the opposite. It gets a little to complicated. If you just want to go through the level and blast things, this is not the best option. There is too much resource management, and menues get too hard to navigate. When I just wanted to movve all my troops forward and use all there ammo on a legion of TAN, I could not do that. On the other side of things, there are quite a few fans of the original Army Men game on PC. If you liked that, you will probably like Army Men RTS, too. Things are not as deep or as involving as games like Starcraft, so you will be familar with this game. Overall, if you think this is an action game, it will come off as too complicated. But if you are looking for an involving RTS, it is too simple. IF you are in the middle, well then, you have a good buy. However, the package itself is dragged down by bland graphics and poor camera angles.

Can't and wont stop playing this game [Posted on 2003-05-16] This game is one of the best games I have ever played. I just can't stop playing it. The characters are funny, the story line is excellent. You fight tans and ants. You team up with little lego men. Make you own army and use it to destroy the tan army. You can make grenade men, bazooka men, rifle men, mortar men, minesweepers, machine-gun men. You can make vechiles like tanks, halftracks, choppers (best vechile in the game), medics, minelayers and "Dum-dums" (little robots carrying explosives.) Build up your own base with guard towers and pillboxes to protect it from invasion. You start the level with a few men which have names. My favourite character is scorch the flamethrower man. The only problems I have with this game is that you can't make flamethrower men and on some levels you can't make people. You can call in paratroopers, bombig runs and a giant magnifying glass to melt something. I have already passed it and I keep going back to play it again.
Good game, too short [Posted on 2003-06-26] This game is one of the best Army Men games 3do has come out with but like all 3do games it is a little to short and the levels are a bit to repeatitive. Fighting with sarge and his crew is fun but with an army behind you it's allot better. This time instead of being just sarge going around winning a war by yourself you get to build an army that helps you win the war. The basic gist of the game is to lead an attack and slowly take a house from tan forces, you start at the front of the lawn. It's a unique idea like all army men games. One of the biggest draw backs to the game were two things, you only get one camera angle and your guys attack everything and anything they see wether you want them to or not. Everythings seems to go to gether smoothly other than that though. Overall I recommend the game, it's fun.
