Title: A poor excuse to release a quick game
Product review: This is the first game in the ARMY MEN series that I've played. Friends told me that the past titles were innovative and clever. If what they had to say is true, then the 3DO company didn't transfer their talents to this game. Even though the game is laid out in a three dimensional setting, I felt as though I was playing 2D Contra on the old NES. Each level is basically the same terrain, but colored differently to give you a sense of "oh, these must be the mountains" or "hey, now we're in the forest." You have no real decisive power on where the Green Rouge travels or even what pace to keep. A continually scrolling landscape pushes you along as you pummel the tans with a weak targeting system. Long, monotonous, stagnant, boring. If you absolutely must see this game firsthand, then I suggest a quick trip to your local rental store. Even then, you will most likely turn around and drop it in the return box the same day. Erase this one from your curiosity synapses.
