Army Men 3D (E) and (U) ISO

Description :

Prepare for combat in an all new 3D world where green and tan plastic soldiers have come to life. You are Sarge, the Green Army sergeant, who's a shoot first, ask questions later kind of soldier. Whether you're dodging bazooka shots, melting attacking infantry with your flamethrower, or sneaking behind enemy lines on special missions, you must do whatever it takes to bring down the evil Tan Army. 

Gameplay: The title of the game is exactly what you get. This is the original PC Army Men game, now in 3D instead of a top-down, isometric viewpoint. I hated the PC game, but I always thought the level and mission design was good, if only it were in 3D, and now it is. Missions range from killing all the tan soldiers, infiltrating and base and sabotaging it with explosives, getting through a minefield, and so forth. There are plenty of weapons and vehicles at your disposal, and there are many different ways and tactics to complete each mission. The length of the game is reasonably long, and replay value is high.

Graphics: Not too shabby. Everything is sharp, not muddy like most PlayStation games, and there's no slowdown, even with huge explosions happening on-screen. The only downfall is the animation, which is a little lacking.

Sound/Music: Sound quality is good, and explosions sound absolutely brutal if you're playing with an enhanced audio system hooked up to your television. The music quality ranges from boring to good, but never reaches the extremes of bad or great. It gets the job done.

Play Control/Game Design: Controlling your character is simple enough, if not a little stiff. Aiming weapons is easy, and weapons that you throw (grenades, etc) give you a moving target to pinpoint exactly what you want to hit. Level design is great, and ranges from the desert to the jungle to city streets. The jungle levels are particularly fun.

Improve: Nothing. Keep everything the way it is. (Too bad 3D0 didn't do that, and instead gave future games new engines that ran with horrible frame rates and had terrible controls.)

Recommended if you like: The only other 3rd person action Army Men game that comes close to the quality of this one is World War. Stay away from Sarge's Heroes.

Final Words: It's really too bad that after this game, the Army Men series degraded into a bunch of crappy games. I really wish they had made a sequel to this using the PC version of Army Men 2 as a basis to bring it into 3D, because its levels that took place in the real world were just as fun, if not more fun, than the levels in the original game. Pick this game up if you want a decent action game to play. It's no Syphon Filter, but you'll enjoy it.

Army Men - World War [U] ISO

Description :

The Green and Tan Nations have broken off peace talks. There is no choice but to prepare for battle. Only after storming the shores of the enemy homeland pushing through thick jungles, and securing war-torn cities, does the ultimate victory await. Dive back into the trenches! 

As if the plastic-soldier carnage in Army Men 3D weren't enough, 3DO is back in an even more over-the-top sequel in Army Men World War. The plot of the first Army Men is similar to this game's - the Tan army is on the warpath, and it's up to a lone Green-army soldier to defeat it. Unfortunately for you though, you happen to be that soldier. Sure, you're told you're getting backup, but that never really happens in this type of game.
After an initial cinematic, the game quickly launches you into the meat of the conflict. You find yourself on an enemy beach, charged with the task of taking a Tan encampment's radio communications. Succeed in this mission, and you'll progress up the beach, through the jungle, and into the heart of Tan-army territory. Armed with only a rifle, a bayonet, binoculars, and unlimited bullets, you face 16 frenetic battles. Initially, the controls seem simple enough. Use the directional pad to move, press X to shoot, use R1 to zoom in, and use the triangle and square buttons to cycle through weapons. Unfortunately, sluggish response coupled with restrictive environments quickly unravels this simplicity. The time between tapping a direction and moving is too great, and it's far too easy to get stuck behind even the smallest of objects. When the heat's on and you're surrounded by five or six enemy soldiers, the tasks of aiming, switching weapons, and attacking become a frustrating mess of tangled fingers.
Besides control issues, progressing through Army Men World War's levels is akin to playing Tomb Raider, without the requisite cliffs, caves, and crevasses. Each mission's goals are distinctly spelled out, and a comprehensive terrain map ensures you'll never become lost. Within each level, you can also acquire grenades, explosives, mortars, bazookas, and a variety of other war-waging tools. Helping to lift the game out of its cookie-cutter status, some missions also require a bit of strategy to complete - for example, avoiding enemy contact or finding the best route for outrunning a fleeing jeep. While it's no 3D war sim, and the experience is entirely too linear, Army Men World War is at least a bit more diverse in the gameplay department than previous Army Men titles. Furthermore, melting enemy soldiers with the flamethrower can provide countless hours of sadistic enjoyment.
Although the negative effects of hit-and-miss controls on gameplay is common these days, rarely do a game's graphics have such a detrimental effect on gameplay. However, in Army Men World War's case, that's exactly the problem. Given, the toy soldiers' character models are both amusing and decently detailed. Given, the jungle backdrops and scenery are ample enough to exhibit realism. And yes, the interstitial Plastic Toy News snippets between battles are gleefully amusing. These are all positive aspects, one must concede. However, everything is too freakin' dark! If it were only the realistic shading of the dense-jungle environments, things wouldn't be so bad. However, the entire game's visibility level is one of dark, darker, and darkest. Maybe it's the required use of dark greens, olive drabs, and earthy brown colors, coupled with an overuse of black. Maybe it's the fact that small tan soldiers hiding in brownish areas are near undetectable. Regardless, even if you crank your television's brightness and contrast up about 20 ticks, the game's still too dark. Furthermore, if you do this, then you'll begin to notice the game's texture warping, so either way you lose. What you end up with is an average-looking game brought down by overall light level - ouch.
Although there are problems with the plot, gameplay, and the graphics, Army Men World War does excel in one area - sound. Gunshots are both loud and alarming, tearing through plastic soldiers as if they were Mars bars on the receiving end of a George Foreman binge. The sound of explosives is particularly impressive, giving one the urge to overuse these devices. The utterances the enemy soldiers make when walking, grunting, and leaping are also a delight to the ears. Furthermore, the background music is adequately varied, and it is majestic and awe-inspiring in that way that only war anthems can be. Frankly, not since the Guns of Navarone have the sounds of war been this good.
What you get with Army Men World War is a decent sequel to the original Army Men 3D, but one that's only barely superior. There's decent variety in levels, the two player flag mode is fun, and the reward value for completing the game is high, but the game's overall replay value is simply drawn through the mire by inadequate control, murky graphics, and cookie-cutter plot. Had more time been spent on the game's graphics and gameplay, Army Men World War might have turned out to be more than just a good premise wrapped in an average game.

Army Men - World War - Team Assault [U] ISO

Description :

If there are two sides that will never come to terms, it's the Greens and the Tans. The longtime rival armies are still warring, and there's no end in sight to the turmoil Sarge and company are ready to kick some Tan butt in this innovative version of the popular ARMY MEN series. Rather than controlling individual soldiers this time around, you'll be able to control entire armies. What makes the game unique is the brand of teamwork introduced: Each of your fighters is equipped with a different skill set that will be necessary to win the battle. Using linguists, explosive experts, mercenaries, and others, you'll try to concoct the perfect strategy for taking the enemy troops down. There are 16 awesome missions in all, and you decide whether you want to carry out the dirty work on foot or in vehicles. The game's AI is great, but there's simply no beating the two-player mode.

Army Men - World War - Land, Sea & Air [U] ISO

Description :

3DO's Army Men franchise is a successful one, with more than 20 games, related books, and numerous merchandising tie-ins. However, despite this success, the games themselves are never any good. The visuals are usually poor, the gameplay is contrived, and the fun factor tends to peak upon your tearing open the wrapper. Bearing this in mind, 3DO is back with the latest in its Army Men franchise, Army Men World War: Land, Sea, Air for the PlayStation. It's been barely seven months since the last Army Men game, but more surprising than its timeliness, Army Men World War: Land, Sea, Air is actually a good game. You read correctly: 3DO has created an Army Men game that's fun to play.
Army Men World War: Land, Sea, Air begins its assault rather plainly: The Tan army is up to no good and it's up to you to stop it. To achieve this goal, the game offers three modes: single-player, boot camp, and two-player capture the flag. Using a variety of targets and weapon choices, the boot camp mode acclimates you to the game's controls, which haven't changed since the last Army Men game. The two-player mode lets you and a friend go at it on a few of the game's maps, stealing one another's flags while dodging CPU-controlled bots. While the boot camp and two-player modes are nice, they're throwaways compared to the game's single-player experience. Eschewing the usual run-and-shoot tactics of previous Army Men games, Army Men World War: Land, Sea, Air combines third-person fighting, first-person sniping, Metal Gear Solid-style sneaking, and vehicular combat into a vicarious wartime romp.
At it's core, nothing is different about Army Men World War: Land, Sea, Air's gameplay. You still need to run around killing Tan soldiers while adhering to mission objectives. The game's stock weapons, the M16 machine gun, binoculars, and bayonet remain unchanged as well. Though the bug that got your soldier stuck between rocks has been fixed, the game's controls once again emphasize weapon choice and shooting while limiting your movement in a number of bizarre ways. An onscreen cursor lets you toss a grenade anywhere you can see, but you can't strafe or run backward, and turning around takes forever. Admittedly, while the interface could be better, the game still gives you a decent amount of freedom, allowing you to crawl, crouch, and tiptoe your way through enemy lines. You're going to need this freedom too, as whoever designed the levels for Land, Sea, Air knew what he was doing. Some missions call for quick precision attacks on enemy installations, while others require a modicum of stealth. Unlike prior Army Men games, there are times in Land, Sea, Air when calm use of your bayonet will get the job done quicker and more efficiently than any amount of firepower. Enemy AI has also improved, and while you're not exactly fighting Einstein out there, the Tan soldiers will circle behind your location or feign death to draw you closer.
Topping things off in the gameplay department, Army Men World War: Land, Sea, Air mixes its ground combat offerings with six vehicular and special-weapons levels. Although vehicle control remains on rails throughout, you'll get to partake in a number of activities, ranging from gunner on a bomber plane and handler of an antiaircraft battery to machine gunner on an Apache helicopter and rifleman on a raft. It's disappointing that you don't have more control over driving these actual vehicles, but their presence nevertheless provides a fun diversion. In fact, thanks to the mixture of assault, stealth, and vehicle missions, this is the first Army Men game that actually feels like a real war as opposed to a series of boring skirmishes.

Army Men - Sarge's Heroes 2 [U] ISO

Description :

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 is the sequel to Army Men: Sarge's Heroes. It was released in 2000 for Game Boy Color, Nintendo 64, PlayStation and PlayStation 2. Unlike the previous game where it was more dark in tone, this game has more of a lighthearted storyline. 

SH2 starts where SH left off. It is announced that the capture (POW) of Field Marshal Tannenberg will end the war. Since General Plastro has disappeared, it is suggested that he has become a victim of plastrification and been trapped in the real world. The game introduces Bridgette Bleu, a spy for the Blue Nation. She has developed a serum that reverses plastrification. Your job as Sarge and sometimes Vikki is to destroy the serum, eliminate Tan soldiers, and capture Plastro and Tannenburg (and as Sarge you sometimes have to rescue Vikki as she has a knack for getting into trouble.)

The game goes between Sarge's 'realistic' world and our world, in which Sarge is the size of a typical plastic Army Man soldier. It features many interactive effects, such as breakable wine bottles, bustable soda cans and music that spikes in intensity when enemies attack.

A pretty good game, Sarge's Heroes 2 offers new weapons, and levels.
This game is a continue from the first Sarge's Heroes I reccomend getting this game if you want to see what happens to almost everyone from the last game, and experience a whole new game unlike anything else...

Graphics

Score 8 Better then Sarge's Heroes, but I like the graphics for this game better because of those new gaint spiders they have, I hate spiders and zombies, and whenever I see one I shoot at it and run away as fast as I could. You can also light some Tan soldiers on fire, with the flamthrower. The graphics are way clearer, and cooler then Sarge's Heroes 2.

Music/Sounds

Score 8 Wow Creepy music that gets you into the mood, the levels match with the music, lets say you wanted some fighting music, well just load a level with lots of fighting and you got one! Or if you want a level feeled with that scary music just load up a level filled with Zombies, and spiders.

Story

Score 7 I did not get much of the story until a few levels in. Seems like that Tan General is back! He seems to have dispeared for a time, since being soildfied in the real world, but with some help from a Blue Agent, he manages to get free, and unleashes his wraith with all new robots, zombies, spiders, and weapons! He manages to create armies and armies of soliders from a toy store, and you have to stop him, with the invasion on, with cities destroyed, with new creatures to fight!, only you and your soliders and Vicky stand in his way. And maybe a spy or too along the way.

Army Men - Sarge's Heroes [U] ISO

 Description :

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes is an action-shooter video game that was released for Windows, Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, and PlayStation. It is part of the Army Men series of video games based on the plastic toy soldiers. It was preceded by Army Men 3D and succeeded by Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2. The player normally controls Sarge, a Sergeant in the Green Army and fights evil General Plastro and the members of the Tan Army. Both armies are named after the usual colors of toy army men. The game's storyline is somewhat dark, partly because of General Plastro's killings.

In ARMY MEN: Sarge's Heroes, the Tan Army is at it again. Now they are trying to gather weapons of mass destruction: exploding skyrockets, intensely hot magnifying glasses, and the ultimate weapon the garbage disposal. Only Sergeant Hawk can keep the scales of good and evil in balance. Guide Hawk through 16 missions that range from the simple, seek-and-destroy to the complex, stealth reconnaissance. With over 40 mission objectives and 13 weapons, the possibilities are endless. Once the Tans have been defeated, invite your friends over to experience the plastic carnage in a head-to-head game. Plastosheen, a revolutionary new highlighting process that brings out the plastic look of the characters, highlights all of the death and carnage. The men may be plastic but the combat is real.

Gameplay

I might as well say it. The controls are no good at all. The controls are simple enough, but the response is very slow and since this is a game set in the third person with enemies behind cover and all around you there is not much you can do to avoid being hit. It is very possible that a Tan guy with a flamethrower can sneak right up on you in plain sight. You can go into a first person mode to aim, but the movement is still slow and you are still going to get hit before you can get off the first shot. Everything seems to go in slow motion for Sarge. The weapons are standard for any GI who has come out of a plastic bucket or bag. Your buddies represent the standard posed soldier from the mine sweeper to the flamethrower, but there is the exception for a shotgun. The scattergun is definitely a must in close combat situations. You also have a sniper rifle for some cross counter kitchen warfare, but most of the time you have the M16 rifle with unlimited ammo. Falling off of ledges will kill you as well as getting caught on fire is pretty much a death sentence of liquidation. The rest of my gameplay woes are really graphic woes, but the control is the main problem of the gameplay.

Graphics/Sound

The graphics really hurt in this game. Even the expansion pak does not help Army Men: Sarge's Heroes. The reason for this is the amount of distance involved in the game. There are plenty of wide open areas and the farther away something is the less likely you are going to be able to tell what it is. The Tan guys will appear to be tiny yellow specks of blocks that take awhile to shoot and of course they will still be able to shoot at you. It's not just the distance that is a factor but the frame rate as well. There is a lot going on in this game and I think that is what contributes to such a slow maneuverability and poor visuals. Not much detail is put into anything really except the main characters and the cut scene videos contain plenty of weak movements by these main characters. Sound and music are fine. You get a few grunts out of Sarge, but everything else is put into text boxes. The guns are fun to shoot and there is plenty of stuff to blow up. What I really enjoyed, however, was the music. The music for Army Men: Sarge's Heroes definitely stays true to the original games of the Army Men series and each level has a unique track to it.

Replay Value

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes plays long enough and can be very difficult with the controls and maneuverability the way they are. Once you beat this game however, it is unlikely you would want to play through it again. There are cheat codes to put in to make the game much more fun as well as mission select so that have you going back to replay the single player mode. There is also a multiplayer mode for some splitscreen mayhem. You can play as a particular character and pick up power ups throughout the maps to take out up to three friends. It's not Goldeneye 007 multiplayer, but hey, it is still a multiplayer.
