It's getting better, actually.

The Good
Following on from the first title, I must say I'm pleased with the improvements here. The move to 3D allows for a greater freedom in gameplay, and I'm happy to say better graphics all-round. I actually enjoyed this for a time, which is saying something for an Army Men game.

I did mention when reviewing Air Tactics that a little spit and polish would be a big help, so in a sense I'm happy that 3DO kept with it and improved on the first title.

The Bad
All that said, there are still areas that need improvement. At times the controls were a little on the tricky side, nothing too drastic but it can have an effect on the gameplay (or maybe that was just my bad judgement when picking up, then dropping to their deaths, my little green men because I'm not very good!)

The move to 3D is a start, but there's still plenty more the PSX can do then what is displayed here. And the multiplayer options can also be improved further, but what's included here will keep you going for a while longer.

The Bottom Line
It's an improvement in possibly the best chance of a good Army Men series (who would have thought anyone would say that). Let's just hope 3DO keep on going now, they might just be onto something.
