 Bravo, 3DO, Bravo Mar 06, 2002
Army Men RTS at first seems to be just another addition to the Army Men franchise. However, once the player has delved into this deep fulfilling world created by 3DO and Pandemic Studios, one can not help but compare this title to an onion, constantly revealing new layers of wonder, while making the player cry with enjoyment in knowing that the feast waiting ahead will be greater than the splendor currently in front of them.Andrews has directed this magnum opus with great gusto, and has counterplayed Payne's and Iarossi's superlative programming genius with Welch's undeterring artistic vision. Harding has leveraged the resulting combination to create believable, lush worlds that add to the outstanding gameplay flow. I find the comment below me rather amusing, since it took quite an effort to get this game over a month before release. To just sign off with "it suxx0rs 3d0 lame" seems to be an unfair cop-out at what is potentially the best Army Men title I have played. However, the effort of procurement was definitely worth it. I recommend anyone with a vague interest in strategy, or even just wanting a relaxing blast-em-up pick up this title. I will be honestly suprised if this title doesn't make many magazines "Best Of" awards. I have only one thing to say - Bravo, 3DO, Bravo.

Great game - best of the series Mar 12, 2002
I had the opportunity to play this game recently and it was GREAT! Good graphics, good humor, great control, and deep. I played for hours and had a lot of fun, yet barely scratched the surface. Definitley a keeper at this price. I can't wait for it to come out to play more.

Army men hit gold this time! Jul 18, 2002
By Luke A. Grim
I never would have guessed I'd be spending any time this summer inside playing an army men game, but this one hit the jackpot! Being in the army myself, I tend to pick these games up. RTS put a whole new spin on our little plastic friends!
While some people might not like the idea of building bases, controlling hordes or people (or vehicles) and having to worry about money (plastic/electricity), this game puts a whole new spin to it! Yes, you get to comandeer your own green army at once, yes you need resources and have to build a home base, but you STILL get to slaughter tan armies!
With hordes of unlockables, such as Great Battles (more missions), Special Operation missions and 96 intelligence files, this game appeals to gamers of all genres! This is no renter, either! As the game progresses and you attempt to master each level and earn medals, it hits home how many hours can be put into this game and makes you really work to beat many levels!
Along with the now classics like FFX and GTA 3, this should be near the top of your gaming shelf!

Can't and wont stop playing this game May 16, 2003
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 Jun 26, 2003
By JakFrost

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.
