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