i have played army men games for PS1 and they were ok to good. and i played and beat Sarges heros 2 for PS2, so i exchanged it for green rouge thinking it would be as good as sarges heros 2 which was good fun. the only thin i really enjoyed about this game was when i took it out of my system. the controls are terrible, you get pushed along and miss tons of guns, upgrades, and health, there is only like 3 or 4 bad weapons that arent effective til upgraded, the aiming is immpossible and after you pass a tan soldier he can still shot you, with out you being able to shoot back. dont buy this game, dont even waste your money renting it. if i could i would have given it 0 stars

A poor excuse to release a quick game

This is the first game in the ARMY MEN series that I've played. Friends told me that the past titles were innovative and clever. If what they had to say is true, then the 3DO company didn't transfer their talents to this game. Even though the game is laid out in a three dimensional setting, I felt as though I was playing 2D Contra on the old NES. Each level is basically the same terrain, but colored differently to give you a sense of "oh, these must be the mountains" or "hey, now we're in the forest." You have no real decisive power on where the Green Rouge travels or even what pace to keep. A continually scrolling landscape pushes you along as you pummel the tans with a weak targeting system. Long, monotonous, stagnant, boring. If you absolutely must see this game firsthand, then I suggest a quick trip to your local rental store. Even then, you will most likely turn around and drop it in the return box the same day. Erase this one from your curiosity synapses.

The Game of the Year

Whoever created this game needs to be dealt with immediately by being put through some training. I wish I had their job so I could of at least put a little thought into this. My 2 year old son could of made a better game than this. Or maybe it was a 2 year old kid that created it. Besides all this it was an allright game to rent but wouldn't buy it. The idea was cool but the controls and getting forced to walk forward was a bit annoying. The weapons upgrading was cool but some weapons would fire too slowly when they were fully upgraded.

Green Rogue is some ...

I have played the Army Men games before and I have always felt that they were between mediocre and good. The control is always a bit slipery but the gameplay is simple and fun. Plus the novelty of playing as little green army men is clever and fun. But after playing through a couple of levels of Green Rogue, I was astounded. How could something that is this bad be allowed to be released.
Let me start with the most obvious flaw and that is that the game constantly pushes you along. You have no control over the speed of your movement, you have to always run no matter what you have missed. Sometimes a health or a weapon pick-up will appear with no chance of ever getting picked up. It is almost like the game scoffs at you as it scrolls and pushes you past objectives not yet completed.
Another big dissapointmet is the weapons. All of the wepaons must be upgraded to be effective at all and 2 or 3 aren't effective in the least. This is due to the terribly jerky control on the aiming feature. You can never really tell where you are aiming and since the game is constantly pushing you into enemy gunfire you do not have a whole lot of chance to find your aim. The game requires the use of both analog sticks (one for movement and one for aiming) and one would think that this would mean that the control was tight but that is not the case.
Add to that a bunch of dull landscapes, a constant requirement to follow a specific track, and tons of eventless moments strung together and you have got the game that is Green Rogue.
Any one who I have talked to about it has just laughed about how bad it is. To me the feeling is just disbelief. Don't people have to play these games before they are released to the general public? Don't they have any sense? Well I guess Green Rogue is my answer.

worst game ever

Don't waste your time and money

This game is horrible. I have played a couple of the Army Men games for the PS1 and really enjoyed them, especially two player mode. They were fairly simplistic, but all in all, good fun. So I was very interested when the Army Men: Green Rouge came out for the PS2, but I could not believe how bad this game is. The only thing that I liked was the opening movie. Other than that, the weapons are slow, the game is always forcing you forward which gives you little control over your soldier, the ability to aim your weapon is difficult to impossible, and thier is no two player mode. 3DO should be ashamed for releasing such a poor game! I want my money back and more importantly, the small amount of my life that I wasted trying to play this game.

Another... Game from 3DO

What can I say? It's 3DO. I don't think 3DO has made a good game since...well...ever. Here's the basic premise of the game: You, a little green piece of *something*, decide to run around shooting little tan pieces of *something*, however, it's so hard to do this, that you might as well use this disc as a frisbee.

Best Feature: It turns off!
Worst Feature: Everything after pressing "Start"

Final Score: zero out of any number, this game blows!

why can't they just improve the good games

I have played all of the army men games both for ps1 and ps2 and I must say that this one by far and a way is the worst. Not just for the army men series but out of every game I have ever played. the only good thing about it is the opening movie after that it's a big let down. contra atleast allowed the player to think about movement and stradegy this game doesn't even allow that. the weapons are useless and boring, the screen pushes the omega along, and the tan troops might as well be space invader type AI. Boy am I glad I rented it. to be honest even that amount of money was to much. To the people of 3do, sarges hero's 2 was a great game just improve on it. the omega would be a nice addition.

I wanted to give it 0 stars, one is 2 high of a rating

Worse game I have played in my life. Rent this before you pay good money.(Don't even rent it ,its that bad) You will hate it. It is simply awful. I wasted money on it and can't wait to find someone stupid enough to sell my copy too.

Save your cash , and buy a boardgame the graphics, and controls will be much better.

This spelled doom for 3DO

I have always wondered why 3D0 folded. Now I know why. This has got to be the single worst Army Men game ever conceived and perhaps the worst 3D0 game period. It is obvious the team spent most of their time making eloborate cut-scenes - some of the best in the Army Men series - and spent no time on the game itself.

For those of you who are old enough to remember...this game is a little like the original Rambo game for Commodore 64 - and the graphics aren't much better. Perhaps 3DO sought to cater to the fond memories some of us have of sore Atari hands and two bit music but they have missed the mark. This game is simply terrible.

Forget the mobility of the other Army Men games. This game won't let you sidestep, crawl, duck, or roll. You are simply a barely recognizable green humanoid who can do nothing other than run - and even that is limited - no more exploring the landscape around you - you are locked in like Han Solo in a tractor beam.

I have played all of the Army Men games for PS1 and PS2 - this one is not even worth the box it came in. The Green Army would do well to put this one back in the bucket of molten plastic and think of something better....
