  • Army Men PART ONE - Working Man Games
    Army Men was a video game series by 3DO released on the N64, Playstation, PS2, and PC and on handhelds. The most well known games in the series were the Sarge's Heroes games which we take a look at in this video. Lets hope we can handle all the Jim Cummings

    I loved Army Men 1, 2, and Toys in Space as a kid. Remember them coming out and loving them. Army Men 1 was one of my first PC games.

    Sarge's Heroes might as well be "Jim Cummings: The Game".

    It's very refreshing to see someone actually discuss Sarge's Heroes on here for once. I'll always concur that it's a fairly underrated game.
    Also, instant like for that Baba O'riley parody at 14:27

    Started watching your channel after the Deer Avenger review and if I may, you got a really awsome platform going here. Between the comedy put in, the complete details pointed out, and the blunt honesty without a care what anyone else thinks, I found myself subscribing. Hell even your coyote avatar makes a good mascot for the channel. You sir deserve the diamond play button and I wish you luck getting the sub numbers to accomplish it.

    Definetly one of the better reviews on this franchise(well least the shooter ones). As someone who likes the basic premise of a war movie i didnt mind the simple story of the early shooter ones and to some extent even tho i didnt get very far cause i was a stupid baby child, but i somehow always remember the eery atmosphere that the lack of music resulted in and the difficulty of fighting the enemies .
    I only realized years later why there had been so many of these games, and my god do i feel bad for the devs as a result. FUCK CRUNCH
    Jim cummings and the cutscenes are pretty much almost the main reason i want to see someone attempt these games again haha. Never played the Sarge games ironically enough but i always liked Army Men so was a pleasant suprise when i looked them up years later.
    PS you got a Great singing voice dude, didnt expect that little number (let alone it soundin so good )

    At least the 3DO had Policenauts on its console, published Battletanx and then did nothing else worth a damn. Good job, guys.

    • @HydraSpectre1138
      @HydraSpectre1138 Рік тому +2

      Policenauts was only released in Japan, though.
      And the 3DO version was never translated to English, nor did the original PC-98 version.
      The Saturn version is the best one and that one does have an English translation patch.

    I remember sarge's heroes 1 and 2, would play the absolute crap of it when i was about 5 through 12, I would play it during christmas especially sarge's heroes 1 in the living room level where it was christmas aswell and having the music play because its so festive. I loved Air Attack, and RTS. I wish i hadn't sold the original cartridges or cds-roms.

    @WackyModder84 3 роки тому +2

    As a Long Time Army Men Fan, here's a list of The BEST Army Men Games Ever Made:
    - Army Men
    - Army Men 2
    - Army Men 3: Toys in Space
    - Army Men: World War (THE PC RTS GAME, NOT THE CONSOLE ONES)
    - Army Men RTS
    - Army Men: Air Attack / Air Combat
    - Army Men: Air Attack 2
    And I guess Sarge's Heroes & Sarge's Heroes 2 are DECENT; The First One, especially.
    But the rest of them are all Varying Degrees of Bad.
    The Moral of This Story:
    Stick with the Army Men Games on PC. Stay Away from the Console Games like the plague.
    Then your experience with Army Men will be a far more positive one overall.

  • @micshork
    @micshork Рік тому

    I hope you possibly revisit some of these as Sarge’s Heroes 1 had a Dreamcast port, there was a PS2 port of Green Rogue and I think Portal Runner is definitely worth talking about.
    Also for Sarge’s Heroes on PS2 you will definitely have a better time playing on Easy since the game is unfairly difficult. I recommend easy mode since you will definitely be able to get further in the game. Also Sarge’s Heroes 2 has an N64 port.
    Oh, and speaking of Small Soldiers I recommend possibly doing a video on games based on that movie. There was a PS1 game, a GameBoy game and two for PC.

    I grew up with these. 3D, sarges heroes, etc. my mom played them a lot when I was little, they were her favorite games, and still are. I honestly love them, as clunky as they are. They’re a wonderful series of games that gave me reality to the little plastic toys i obsessed over for many years. They went to sh*t after SH2 tho IMO

    To be entirely fair to the toy companies’ choice of color, making Japanese soldiers painted yellow makes sense because their uniforms were yellowish-tan. And rather than picking the precise color of their uniform it was probably easier and cheaper to just buy “YELLOW” in bulk than some more precise color.

    I enjoyed the Sarge's Heroes games on the N64 more than the Playstation ones lol. Had a lot of fond memories of Army Men RTS and Toys in Space. Air Combat was also a lot of fun but I think I just had a sick joy in manipulating the bugs to do my bidding by hauling food around the map and watching them fight the tan army lol. Those other games however, I could not make myself play them lol. And their xbox release of the last Sarge's Heroes game was barely playable. It played well, but I hated everything about it and it felt like they were deliberately trying to murder their IP as a final farewell with a middle finger.

  • @TarsonTalon
    @TarsonTalon 2 місяці тому

    Honestly, Green Rogue was the death of my interest in the Army Men franchise. It felt like we were getting less and less features with every Army Men game, and this one took away your ability to move freely, and became a rail shooter. That was the final straw. To this day, kinda wish there was an Army Men game done with environmental destruction, a darker story (I mean really, they never did enough with the concept of being a small soldier in a giant world. Stuff could be TERRIFYING.), and a kick butt multiplayer similar to the Battlefield franchise. So far, the closest I've gotten to it is 'Attack On Toys', but honestly there's just a bit too much spam and chaos for me to enjoy it.

    Army Men: Air Tactics that’s the PC version for the Air Combat except it might’ve been strategy. This is going back to the days of that Army Men Value Pack I got at Wal-Mart next to the other $9.99 games however I did come across Fallout 1 and 2 this way as well however top down turn based post apocalyptic RPG may not be for everyone, and thanks to this section when I was even younger would have shorter version of games like a “Try us” demo type shit. I found this out the hard way with Commando’s, I didn’t read the fine print and realize it wasn’t the full version. 😵
