Army Men: Advance

With its super-deformed-looking pug characters, Army Men Advance takes a step backward in 3DO?s Army Men franchise.

Playing as either Sarge or Vikki, your banal mission is to stop the insidious Tan army from using alien technology to take over the (yawn?) world. Army Men: Advance does the basics right?sound effects and control?but is also completely uninventive. You putz around 17 levels of bland interiors and sparse outdoor scenes with your pea-shooter?like weapons collecting keys, maps, and so on, while eliminating enemies. From a top-down view, all the characters look super-deformed, and the gameplay just doesn?t go anywhere. You?d have much more fun playing with genuine plastic army men than wasting your time in this virtual ghetto while straining endlessly to obtain just the right light on the god-forsaken Game Boy Advance screen. This is for franchise fanatics only.
