  1. Army Men: World War is one of the bug-giest, unpolished games I've ever played. Polygons disappear, you get stuck on things, the Al is either dead-on accurate or as dumb as plastic, and the multiplayer is the antithesis of fun (it's often far too dark, pointless and lacks the innovation found in Army Men 3D's multiplayer mode).
  2. Men of War is a stunning Real-Time Strategy game that takes place during the height of World War II. Intense battles span Europe and North Africa as gamers play as Soviet, Allied or German forces across 19 massive single-player missions.

Game Description

RTS Battles with Plastic Soldiers, Tanks, and More!

Army Men RTS brings your fantasy fights between plastic army guys to life (well, kind of) in a solid real time strategy game.

Your job is to lead Sarge and his band of bazooka men, grenadiers, machine gunners, flame throwers, and plastic military vehicles in a campaign to defeat the evil Tan army.

Like most RTS games, you build bases but instead of mining resources you use trucks to siphon off plastic and electricity from objects to make men and then build an army fit to defeat the rebels.

  • 'Army Men RTS has hit on something -- it's serious, it's primal, it's wacky and it's fun, all at once. You get all the fun of RTS fundamentals combined with the kitsch appeal of plastic soldiers.' - IGN

One of the best things about Army Men RTS is its faithfulness to bring the nostalgia of army toys into something you can really play and command.

Included are some great characters like Sarge, the commander and other hero fighters that join you on different missions. You can even build tanks, choppers, artillery, anti-aircraft, guard towers and alot more.

  • 'Overall, Army Men: RTS does a good job of creating a real-time strategy game based on the classic line of plastic toys.' - Gamespot

While playing Army Men RTS you will:

  • Have a blast commanding all the familiar army men types and vehicles you used to play with (or blow up with firecrackers like I did).
  • Be incredibly amused by the antics of the plastic toys and their serious battle determination.
  • Learn the game quickly through the Bootcamp tutorials
  • Be thoroughly entertained by the cutscenes between missions
  • Find even more great challenge playing people online with the multiplayer setting
  • Succeed in defeating the evil Tan army? Download it now and find out!

Army Men RTS Review

Army

- Review by Alex

Army Men RTS is a real-time strategy title that lets you take command of your favorite little green soldiers to take on the Tan army and defeat a defecting Green general. It has all the traditional RTS elements such as resource harvesting, base building, and commanding armies of units around the battlefield. The interface is very simple and easy to use with most commands and camera movements controlled by the mouse.

What Army Men Were Meant to Do

The unique setting and world of Army Men provides a refreshing new twist to this classic game genre. There isn't anything like exploring flower gardens and counter tops as you take out Tan bases, try to capture an infinite power source, or escape from a basement infested with ants. It is really fun to send out your plastic soldiers and take advantage of the varied unit types, such as the grenadier, medic, half-track, and mortar men, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Hero Units and Resource Management

There are also several hero units like Sarge, Hoover, Riff, and Scorch, and the game does a good job of giving each of them their own personality and appeal. Also, the resource system is rather intriguing as you harvest various mundane items like toy robots, frisbees, and watches for plastic and electricity. You can even collect plastic from fallen soldiers and destroyed buildings!

Some Gameplay Constraints

There are, however, a few slight issues which can detract from the gameplay. For starters, you can only create four unit groups which is quite a constraint considering the varied unit types.

Also, the pathfinding for large groups of units isn't the best and can be the cause of frustration as your font-line units get stuck behind your support troops. This is further complicated by the fact that you can't really adjust your units' behavior and they attack any enemy unit on sight. This can cause some problems when attacking enemy bases since your mortar team needs one of your units in sight of the target but that unit tends to want to just rush in and attack, which can mess with your strategy.

Finally, there isn't a whole lot of replay value since there is only the linear campaign and single-scenario Great Battles, which have environments taken from the campaign.

Conclusion - Fun, Basic RTS

Army Men RTS provides a fun and gratifying RTS experience. The variety of units and heroes are a pleasure to play around with and the unique gameplay universe is both refreshing and fascinating. There are some issues which hamper the gameplay slightly, but the addicting gameplay tends to make up for this.

Overall, Army Men RTS is a great game for new players to the genre to jump right into and hard-core fans can find some enjoyment with its originality, though they might be turned off a bit by its lack of complexity.

Sorry, there was an error whilst submitting your review!

As a red-blooded American male, I played with little green army men as a youngster. It was a rare day back in the early 1980s when there were no tiny soldiers stationed at strategic places on my bookshelves, dresser, or headboard. So, when 3DO began pumping out the Army Men series, I was excited. However, after several gaming sessions of Army Men: World War, I found myself unimpressed. While the game has a new spin on war simulation, it's fairly unoriginal and not nearly as action-packed as I had hoped.

The idea of bringing toys to life to fight wars is a novel one. However, the problem with Army Men: World War is that it doesn't really expand this gimmick. The action is similar to other war and fantasy action games like Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, Silver, and Akuma in that you can control single or multiple fighters during the course of the game. Unlike those games, Army Men: World War features a difficult control scheme and missions that are nearly impossible to complete because action is extremely difficult to navigate. Even after taking the slow-paced tutorial, I found that controlling soldiers in the heat of battle was nearly impossible. In fact, I lost most of my team during the first few battles in any campaign I started.

The problem stems from the fact that the controls are all mouse-based and it's easy to click on the wrong areas of the screen during battle sequences. So, if I decide to switch control from one of my units to another, I might accidentally change all of that unit's weapons to grenades, send them in the wrong direction or commit any number of snafus. If I click on an area of the screen to make a unit advance and then accidentally click on a single soldier, the units scatter and I'm forced to scramble to reacquire control. While Army Men: World War isn't the only game where errant mouse clicks ruin a game, it seems particularly bad. The manual lists some shortcut keys that could have resolved the situation, but I couldn't get most of those hot keys to work.

Still, I suffered through a few campaigns of Army Men: World War before total frustration set in. As much as I fondly recalled the green plastic dudes from yesteryear, I couldn't get past the weak action and control problems that plague the game. I even hoped that online gameplay would be somewhat more exciting than the single-player campaigns I waged, but could never find anyone logged on to play Army Men: World War on 3DO's game server. I don't know if this is because of the game's relative newness or if the multiplayer aspect of the game simply hadn't caught on among gamers. Perhaps, the frustrations of gameplay kept the player list down. Even when playing the single-soldier 'Capture the Flag' missions, I had limited success taking on dozens of enemies with a lone green renegade. Again, control issues were at the heart of the problem.

Graphically, Army Men: World War is not nearly as cool as I thought it would be. Apparently, the footage I saw in the commercials touted the product based on the animated interludes between missions. The action itself is not represented terribly well, the characters are small, and the terrain is blotchy. It's often difficult to tell where hills rise into impassible plateaus and that can waste a lot of time. Sure, the animated scenes are very nice, but they don't constitute the meat of the game. I expected to see some really great graphics the whole time I played Army Men: World War, but all I saw were average graphics painted green, tan and blue. Army Men: World War's sound is decent, but too many sounds blast at the same time. With tanks rumbling, guns blasting and shells exploding, it was hard to hear orders or other important sounds. That may indeed be a realistic interpretation of war, but I need a little bit of peace when I play video games.

Overall, I was very disappointed in Army Men: World War. While it is a decent war simulation, it doesn't break any new ground. In fact, it re-wraps several old packages in a green plastic shell and that's not enough to insure good quality gameplay. On a final note, while I am not a big fan of ratings systems on video games, the ESRB's decision to give Army Men: World War an 'E' for 'Everyone' (meaning that the game is suitable for all ages) is atrocious. Even though, the little green men are only toys, the violence is very graphic intensive. This is especially true when you lose all your men in a campaign. The animated end sequence shows a soldier gasping for breath, moaning in pain and then dying. This is a much more realistic presentation of death than in many fighting games which have received harsher ratings from the ESRB. I strongly advise parents to check this game out before allowing younger players to have access.

Graphics: Graphic presentation breaks no new ground, with the exception of painting soldiers solid colors.

Sound: The sound scheme is average, but occasionally, too many sounds hitting at once make it hard to follow.

Enjoyment: The bad control scheme sucked the fun right out of the fighting and campaigns.

Replay Value: With several facets to explore in Army Men: World War, an online following might make playing the sub-par action worthwhile.
