Army Men 3D (PlayStation)

Army Men 3D is a third person action game released in 1999 by 3DO for the PlayStation. It basically turns the idea of playing with those green plastic toy soldiers into a 3D action game. Your enemies of course, are the tan soldiers.

You play the role of Sarge who must lead his armies against the tan soldiers across various terrain. The game is pretty straightforward 3rd person run-and-gun action with a variety of weapons including rifles, bazookas, grenades, flamethrowers and more. You can also control vehicles such as jeeps and tanks. Generally, each mission or level has a specific goal.

The graphics were pretty average for a PlayStation game at the time. However, it did do a good job of making the characters and other items seem toy like. It's sort of like you are playing an interactive version of Toy Story. Likewise, the voice acting is campy and cartoon like adding a touch of humor to the game.

This was not a great game but it's still ok for a bit of fun if you are into the toy soldier theme. Camera angles aren't great, missions are somewhat repetitive, and perhaps worst of all there is no multi-player. None of this is enough to really make it a bad game though.

This wasn't the only Army Men game. In fact, there were quite a few. This was the third game in the main series and the first to appear on the PlayStation. There were nearly two dozen Army Men games in total.
