Posted 27 Jun 2002 at 17:51 by Gerben
The Sarge's Heroes games were some of the most successful third-party titles for the Nintendo 64, having sold over a million units between the two games. The Army Men: Sarge's War game is planned to ship in Spring 2003.
The Army Men: Sarge's War game follows the exploits of Sarge, now an army of one. The Tan Army has unleashed a weapon of unimaginable destruction on the Green Army, reducing Sarge's platoon to a pile of melted plastic.
Players will take control of Sarge as he goes renegade to avenge the death of his squad. Army Men: Sarge's War is harder edged than previous Sarge's Heroes titles, with more emphasis on combat tactics, advanced AI, thrilling destruction effects, and fast-paced, action-packed firefights.
Other features of the Army Men: Sarge's War game include:
- Outrageous real-time destruction -- characters will take visible damage including melting, holes blown through chests, dynamic decaling, dismemberment and more
- Screen-relative control and camera system that features movie-like camera usage
- Over 600 fluid motion-capture animations, including incredible deaths and Hollywood-style combat moves
- Enemy AI will seek cover, hunt, patrol, outflank, attack, and avoid the player -- creating realistic and unpredictable tactical challenges for the player in every mission
- Incredible photo-real graphics and art with dynamic lighting and shadowing
- Gameplay that spans across the battle-ravaged "Army Men World" and into "Our World" where combat rages across giant kitchen countertops and other incredible gigantic environments
- Diverse military weaponry that is critical for completing mission objectives, including flamethrowers, crossbows, sniper rifles, shotguns, bazookas, and mounted machine guns
