Army Men: Sarge's Heroes
Review by Isaac77
"Why does this game stink? Let me count the ways..."
Gameplay: 2/10
The gameplay stinks. You turn a corner, but the camera won't follow you, and continuously get shot. You'll find yourself dead before you actually get to see what was shooting at you! Practically every level has someone you need to rescue. The only reason I gave this a 2 was because when you shoot someone with a flamethrower, it's fun to watch them burn... The multi-player mode stinks as well... The levels are so large, you'll spend three quarters of the time just trying to find your opponent! To make things worse, you can barely see in front of you!
Story: 4/10
Two different colored groups of army men are in a war. Green and Tan. Green wants peace. Tan wants destruction. You take control of Sergeant Hawk of the Green and you try to stop the Tan forces from taking over the world (or the living room maybe...) I gave it extra points for creativity.
Control: 1/10
I'd love to give this a zero, but I can't. When playing this game, jump VERY early. They rarely jump when you tell them to. Every time you press a button, it'll take a while to execute. I try to strafe, and I find myself strafing longer than I expected. The control stinks...
Sound: 6/10
The music is pretty good, but not the best in the world. The sounds are great. Flaming noises when using the flamethrower, explosions, etc. However, there is only two words ever said in the game.
Graphics: 5/10
The graphics are sort of bad. The explosions could use work, the people's faces, and textures too. The only detailed graphics, is when you shoot someone, little plastic chips fly off them.
Overall: 4/10
I basically think this game stinks. Out of every single game I've played in my life, this game's the worse. I find myself squinting half the time while playing it (I even wear glasses!). Don't bother to buy it. Don't even rent it! Just try to avoid this game as much as possible. I rented it, and my friend and I never went near it again, fearing that we'd squint our eyes out...
