The game is great, the reason i picked it up is for some reason a while back, i was interested in World War 2 and i also love the Army Men Series, then this game came out, the best part i would say is the multiplayer. The game has real nice, sweet sound to the explosions and the gameshots are nice to. The reason i took one star off is there wasnt really an improvement on the graphics like Sarges Heros but its a fun game, oh yeah, they added a new vehicle (PT Boat) and the tank now has a cannon and a machine gun. They also added the new weapon of the Bayonet for taking guys out with stealth. The Tans brains seem to have gotten bigger to, if there patrolling an area and its a mission where you arent suppose to be caught and they here your gun shot, they will run, dive back behind a rock, sandbag, etc. and pop up and shoot you so it makes it harder. The game also made the basic rifle have a better sound to it. They also added the Combat Cam which if you can remember, was in Army Men 3D where it has the camera up about 5 inches away from the end of the gun at an angle so they took the crosshairs off that was in Sarges Heros. Overall, its a great game, i highly recommend it if you like World War 2 combat.

Ok, Im not Mary Ray, Im her son, But anyway... WHAT IS THIS GAME, IS IT A LEGEND?! I have never, in my entire life, seen a cooler army game. I am in love with this game. Ah, we first met when I went to rent Tony Hawk 3. They didnt have it and I noticed all these army games and asked my dad if we could rent this one because World War would attract attention ya know, and he said yes. As soon as I started it I couldnt believe my eyes! Its so cool! Sure level 4 is a little hassel but you get through it. And as far as what most of the other reviewers say about the graphics, my response is: Dark? Hah, my [rear]! Overall its a great game and I highly recomend you to get it... unless your one of those other bozoes who think its [junk].

#1 - VISIBILITY. I had to screw with the brightness on my television just so I could see the opening screen right. Everything is in a million shades of green, and you'll be constantly running into obstacles, trying to turn yourself around while an enemy slowly chips away at your health.

#2 - DIFFICULTY. On the easist setting, I still can only get three levels into the game. It's not that I'm a lousy gamer, it's just that certain spots where there may be a concentration of plastic helicoptors, infantry, etc., are next to impossible to get around. I let a friend who is an excellent gamer borrow it for a week, and he couldn't get any farther than I did.

#3 - TWO-PLAYER MODE. Two-player modes are supposed to be fun. This one, well... isn't. The levels are too big, and you'll spend ten minutes hunting down your friend's flag, and once one of you gets the other's flag, it's too easy to cross back over into your territory without getting caught.

Please, I beg of you, don't make this an impulse buy like I did! Rent first, and even then you'll probably feel like you've wasted your money. (1.5 stars)

I was very disappointed with this newest addition to the Army Men series. Compared with the last release, Army Men Sarge's heroes, this game is terrible. With other games out there like Medal of Honor and Sarge's Heroes, this game is like playing Pong (the original Pong) I can describe this game in one word... primitive. Don't waste your time (or your money) They obviously didn't put any effort into this game at all (and it shows).

Anyone who has played the original Army Men 3D for the Playstation knows how fast and fun the game is, Sarge's Heros was a real let down and I was hoping that this game would mark a return to the standards set by the original game...it does not. This game is an improvement over the terrible Sarge's Heros but still a disapointment. The game includes one and two player modes. In two player there are several senarios to hunt down your co-player on. The graphics are different, the environments are more complex, often you are not able to walk under a leaf or around a small rock. The prespective (view) has changed also, to zoom in and out is an awkward process. Health kits, flamethrower fuel and grenades blend in with the background. The .50 caliber guns are not powerful enough. In one player mode on the hard setting the artificial intelligence often did not allow the enemy to attack me even when I was in plain view and firing at them. In two player you are not allowed to assign your allies to defend or attack, the computer does it for you. The overall control of the game play is slower and bulkier than the original game. Rent this game before you buy it, I wish I had. The first Army Men 3D is still king of the hill. Wake up 3DO!

Armymen Worldwar is not an improvement from Armymen 3D. The graoics are weaker, the levels are shorter, and the gameplay is slower. Don't get me wrong, the game is still fun but the gameplay is so slow that you feel like you are going to crush the controller just to turn around. The map is cofusing compared to the original. You can't tell where you are or where you're going. On the up side, the sound is realistic and the themes are good - no cockroaches or tennis shoes to deal with. But all in all it falls a little short of the original.

Just Bought it and love it , great multiplayer, fun story! Become engulfed in a World War Army Men style

this game is another good army men series addition. The game is very fun.with the tan soldiers smarter to make the game more fun. with awesome new weopens including a 50. calibur machine gun and other classic weopens including flamethrower and bazoka you can shoot burn and blow up your tan enimies. you can also contol a tank, jeep, a pt boat and guns on a trian, but the down side is the graphics. you would think they would be better but there not. but the game is still fun and worth buying.

Personally, I thought that all of Playstation's Army Men titles were pretty lackluster! The graphics failed to maintain my interest for more than ten minutes and I found that navigating your way through certain levels was a major pain in the arse, especially the first level! To tell you the truth, I found N64's version of Sarge's Heroes to be a more thoroughly entertaining game - a real challenge. The graphics might be a bit cartoonish to some but I thought the controller configuration was a lot more manageable. It's too bad that N64 hasn't developed a version of Army Men: World War. My advice is: refrain from buying any of Playstation's Army Men titles and hope to god that Nintendo decides to put out their own version of World War. Nintendo does have its merits!

This game is good on the easy setting. But it lacks the two player mode for cooperative play like Air Attack has. Prerelease information from 3do indicated there was a cooperative 2-player mode. Not the greatest; not the worst.
