Sarge's platoon has been melted, and he's ultra-pissed.

Discuss it in Talkback!

If you like your Army Men games "harder edged" than what 3DO usually offers, perhaps Sarge's War will be right up your alley. The company says it's the sequel to the two Sarge's Heroes games on N64, which sold over one million copies combined.

This time around, Sarge's pals have all been destroyed by the Tan Army, so he's out for revenge all by himself. The game will focus more on combat tactics and fast-paced action than...whatever those other games focused on. Look for it in spring 2003.

The 3DO Company Announces Army Men(R): Sarge's War(TM) for the Nintendo GameCube(TM)

Follow-Up to the Hit Nintendo(R) 64 Series is a New Spin on the Classic Army Men Saga

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The 3DO Company (Nasdaq: THDO - News) today announced the development of the first Sarge's Heroes(TM) title for the Nintendo GameCube, Army Men: Sarge's War. 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.

  • 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
