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.
However, the game is too simple for dedicated RTS fans. If you like a hardcore RTS, you are much better off with Warcraft 3 or Commandos 2. Most of the game is too simple, and can end up feeling like RTS for beginners. Which is not a very good thing because ther is not enough depth to the combat. And that hurts the replay value.
But for those of us who relate our Army Men experience to playing Sarge's Heroes 2 or Air Attack, things are the opposite. It gets a little to complicated. If you just want to go through the level and blast things, this is not the best option. There is too much resource management, and menues get too hard to navigate. When I just wanted to movve all my troops forward and use all there ammo on a legion of TAN, I could not do that.
On the other side of things, there are quite a few fans of the original Army Men game on PC. If you liked that, you will probably like Army Men RTS, too. Things are not as deep or as involving as games like Starcraft, so you will be familar with this game.
Overall, if you think this is an action game, it will come off as too complicated. But if you are looking for an involving RTS, it is too simple. IF you are in the middle, well then, you have a good buy. However, the package itself is dragged down by bland graphics and poor camera angles.
