This mean that not only does it take a split second for you to start moving after you hit the button, but you keep moving slightly after you stop. Not only do you turn like you're moving through black tar, but it also works on momentum. The first big problem you'll notice with this game is the turn radius.
This game makes me want to play Blue Stinger and Space Ace on a constant loop.įirst, lets talk about the controls, which was actually worse than what I remember with Sarge's Heroes 2.

World War deserves the ire that the rest of the series has gotten. I was worried that there might be a chance this game was actually good, and that there was a chance Sarge's Heroes 2 might have been an isolated incident. Having been saddled with this game instead of Sarge's Heroes 2, I was actually upset.

However, due to how surprisingly rare that game seems to be for the PS1, I decided to go for another 3D iteration in the series, Army Men: World War, or Army Men: Operation Meltdown as it is known in other areas (which is confusing since there is an Army Men game for the PC titled "World War" that is completely different, and yet the PS1 version still went with the title here in the states go figure). But since my bad gaming quota was running low, I decided to trek for a copy of the similar game for the PS1. I played it for an hour or so before returning said game back to my friend and demanding my copy of Super Mario 64 back. I remember briefly playing demos of Portal Runner, but my real experience was several years ago when I got a copy of Sarge's Heroes 2 for the N64 from a friend. Personally, my experience prior with the series was very limited. I can't help but think this was the same core of America that years later thought Larry the Cable Guy was a good idea, but i digress. And yet, not only did their publishers, 3DO, churn out numerous entries and spin-offs in the franchise(even going so far as to release a platformer for the PS2, called Portal Runner) but fans apparently were buying said games in droves. Towards the end of the series official run in the early 2000s, the series was regarded by many hardcore gaming fans as a running gag in how bad a video game series can get. And here is where the confusion occurs: while Army Men in that small span of several years was considered a popular enough franchise, its games were considered some of the worst in video gaming. But as the series became popular, it decided to venture into more mainstream gaming facets. The first game was released in 1998 (I'm assuming to capitalize on the budding World War 2 game craze sparked by the release of Saving Private Ryan and Medal of Honor) and was a well regarded Real Time Strategy title that played like a tongue in cheek take on 50's war jingoism played out with green and tan army men figures. If there was ever a series that confounded video gaming logic, its the Army Men series.
