Army Men RTS

The big selling point for Army Men RTS is definitely the theme. Running around backyards, basements, and various rooms as a group of appropriately stereotyped WW2-esque US soldiers, by itself, is amusing for the first mission or so. There's even a non-army-men faction to encounter later in the story missions in the form of ants and spiders. Unfortunately, the single player of Army Men RTS failed to keep me amused. Your options for controlling your units are almost the most basic I can imagine: you can move then, you can tell then to shoot certain targets, and you can make control-groups to allow for control of multiple armies. You can't shift-move to plan pathing (which I can usually survive without), and using your control-groups doesn't actually snap your camera between armies. And, this is the kind of game that will present you with scenarios with fail conditions so tight (enemies coming in from all sides while you also have to escort a group of defenseless NPCs) that you will dearly wish you had at least some additional control. But, no, denied, you fail, ha ha. Economy and units and buildings in Army Men RTS work much the same as they do in Command & Conquer, save that you'll need plastic and batteries instead of Tiberium. It should be noted that the CPU doesn't appear to be bound by the same rules as you, however, and will liberally spawn large numbers of units to throw at you and your base from all sides. The story amounts to little more than what a child would ramble out, and so doesn't provide any momentum or anticipation to your play. I'm being really harsh but, if you read between the lines, you'll see that Army Men RTS is actually completely competent. I never encountered any game breaking bugs while playing. However, Army Men RTS is far from perfect, and I just don't have fun when playing it.

nice game i played in 2003, great gameplay, funny units, and of course how not forget the unlimited energy machine.... play the game to found out, what was the super machine with unlimited electric power. XD

Okay, so I beat this game, and now I have no idea what to do with myself. Does anyone have suggestions? I loved how simple the images were, but don't want to play the older games because the graphics are crap. So if you are a fellow lover of Army Men RTS, any suggestions?

Wont start due too needing a dx8 gpu wth gog . You sell this and NO WHERE did it state a dx8 gpu was needed...and who the hell has a dx8 gpu nowadays?? AVOID TILL ITS PATCHED OR MADE TO WORK ON MODERN CPU/GPU SETUPS tested on a am4 3900x 64gb ddr4 3200 arez rx580 8gb m.2 ssd win 10

When I first purchased this, I had so many complications with every single game in the series. The problem was this: when I loaded the game, I would be presented with a black screen and the spinning wheel of death. 1/3 of the time it gave me an unexpected error and 2/3 of the time I had to either force restart or log off and log back in, allowing me to force quit the program. For experimentation purposes, I decided to install Windows 10 - 32-bit in VirtualBox, where I was presented with another problem: it refused to run because the virtual machine doesn't support complex 3D graphics. However, when trying to play the other games in the series, like Army Men II, the game worked perfectly. To be expected, these older games do not work in 64-bit. Overall rating: Don't buy any of these games UNLESS you're ready to use a 32-bit virtual machine or ready to use an older computer to play the game.
