Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2

"This game makes the orginal seem a little better at first."

Hi I'm General Eric, I like to say that I rented it a couple of days ago and this game is worth a rental at least, the game looks like it should have been delayed a month so it would be made much better.I was pretty disappointed. Here's my review in sections for easier findings.

Gameplay 5/10
I will be honest, I was disappointed when I went thru the first level, the game goes way too fast( WHAT I mean is that it gets confusing after a bit) and the enemy's are more annoying then hard, it takes a whole bunch of shots to kill with your standard basic rifle that you always have and there's tons of slowdown when there's 5 guys on the screen at once, even with a expansion pack, also I liked the first Sarges Hero's boot camp better because it appeals to me more. Over all if you are a Sarges hero's lover you'll like it but if your a normal gamer you'll find it terrible. I didn't like the first because it was too hard and I hate the second because of it not appealing to me very well and plus there's no new weapons except for dynamite which I hate and the explosions look way too fake for this kind of game.Plus the hundreds of medicpacks almost around every urn make the game even easier, and aiming is the main part here because the gun's auto aim misses about 1/2. Overall its easy to beat until the enemys use explosives, flamethrower or they lay on there bellies.
You can play as Vikki on a few levels and be silver when you get a shield like the cheats in the first Sarges Hero's

Controls 7/10
The game controls may be weird for Goldeneye and Perfect Dark players because A button shoots Z trigger strafes, strafing is bad because it feels weird and its better to just stand your ground. Sarge can jump now because I don't think you can jump in the first one sence I played it 2 years ago. Other then that the controls are O.K.

Sound and music 7/10
Sound is a problem because the chracters don't speak at all and the music is barely noticable because your too busy running around from the gunfire and explosions. I just liked the music and some of the sound FX, that's it.

Satisfaction 5/10 I felt that the 1st was better when I entered boot camp and this game would be a little below average of I can say the least, over all I say that this game is good if you play right thru and ignore the slowdown and details.

Graphics 5/10 If I didn't say everything in gameplay the graphics are O.K if I can say the least, if you put it on high resoltion with a expansion pack you will find slowdown with 4 enemy's all firing at once, the graphics look like the originals but slightly better, I liked it when you blow up a tank or robot because I liked the tank cannon fly up in the air and the robot's parts flying after you grenade it. I liked looking around at the gag products and other stuff with funny writing on it like a milk carton with Plastos face on the back of it.

Multiplayer 7/10
Multiplayer is like the first but with new locations and new people, has some better graphics but still nothing really much to shout about.

Buy or rent
Rent, you'll find out yourself when you play this game, buy if its 25.00 bucks or less at Funco land or Target.

Final word.
The game itself is slightly better then the original, hard- core gamers that are into Army men will like the game, the rest will only like it a little if your not really into Army men, even though that it sucks a little you should still give it ago, it might appeal to you.
