Very poor controls that cause fake difficulty.

Instead, it fully earns its ranking among the "worst games ever made"." This game is a perfect example of how rushing a product to market can completely tank a good idea. The combat is terribly-balanced, swamping the player with overpowered enemies and few means of surviving both versions' combat systems are so broken, you can barely even damage enemies almost every unique mechanic the game has is so poorly-implemented that it's useless and the final nail in the coffin is how severely underwritten the story is with bland characters you don't know a thing about, doing clichéd things to fight over plot-points you also don't know a thing about and Drake himself is a terrible protagonist - a dumb block of muscle with brooding gruffness and '90s clichés in place of actual personality or a character arc. But the game was just too damn rushed and the dev team didn't have time to get the game working properly. Unlike a lot of other games I've covered, it did have potential: the combat has a good variety of enemies, you have a good variety of techniques and weapons, and there is a good variety to the stages switching it up between combat, big fixed shootouts and platfomring. " The tragic thing about Drake of the 99 Dragons is that you can see how the game might have turned out good. This is no bloodless Battle of the Bulge just another anemic action romp under the Army Men banner."99 Dragons, made out of 99% bullshit!" - AVGN

Standing still and holding down Fire is all the strategy you need here. These same technical troubles also mar the multiplayer modes, where any incentive to make yourself a mobile target is totally destroyed by the bright autoaim bracket thats always on you, leap, and lunge though you may. As a result, you'll accidentally autotrack offscreen targets and be forced to choose between losing your lock and getting a look at whatever youre emptying magazines into. The killjoy camera, which you must constantly correct, is frustrating enough, and then you discover that autoaiming and strafing occupy the same shoulder button. Heck, sniping a few Tan tangos from their tin can hiding spots even got me pumped.that is, until the clunky gameplay problems knocked off my kid-colored glasses. I can try to appreciate the bizarre mish-mash of kiddie and real-life environments (one level, youre in little Jimmy's playroom the next, you're in 'am). And as long as I keep reminding myself it's just a kids game, I can overlook some of its dubious design choices, like the difficulty-draining, overly generous autoaim. With its Toy Story-style plastic servicemen and over-the-top, almost-cartoony action, Sarges War initially seems like a decent tour of duty for tots. Why don't you just fix it? Or, perhaps, you could just STOP MAKING ARMY MEN GAMES. But this is gaming at its most depressing - it's clear to man and beast that the controls of this game simply do not work and are no fun whatsoever. No the maps aren't diabolical, no the cut-scenes aren't that bad and yes it is quite nifty the way melted green chunks get blown out of Sarge's body. From a basic human angle, just why? Why God? Why? From a developer's point of view, why include a camera and targeting system that is actually (with no element of reviewer overstatement) capable of making one physically nauseous. Fine, I understand all this - there's clearly money to be made from the slack-jawed idiots who buy Army Men games and it most definitely could have done with a lick of green paint.īut from a publishing point of view why make it a rated game with cut-scenes that feature oodles of melting plastic corpses when it is, by nature, such an obvious kids' game.

Why? What's the point? You grab the licence, you dispense with the bargain-basement RTS stylings and you jam in a rudimentary third-person action engine.

Sarge's War is here and my torrent of abuse, outrage and I Wouldn't buy it, you wouldn't buy it, but it seems that someone, somewhere, somehow would.
