One morning Sarge is resting in his cot when the Tan launch a surprise attack on the Green base. Sarge and the Colonel are forced to retreat just as the base is overrun. But in the chaos, Sarge's entire team of elite soldiers, Bravo Company, has been captured by the Tan. Worse yet, the Tan have made an amazing discovery: blue portals that lead to the real world! They use these portals to take amazing weapons of war from the real world into the plastic world including magnifying glasses, deadly robot action figures, and fire crackers. It's up to you, as Sarge, to rescue your team and put an end to the blue portals and Tan's evil schemes. Control Sarge in this Army Men third-person shooter. You will wage war across Tan-infested territories, both in the real and plastic world. Make Sarge proud as you battle the Tan army across 14 levels, utilizing 13 unique weapons like sky rockets and spray cans. Fight against not only infantrymen, tanks, and helicopters, but also killer toy robots and insects. This third game in the Army Men series adds several new features, including 3DO's unique Plastosheen lighting effects, which give the army men a real-life plastic shine. Also included is a multiplayer mode. Choose your character and even your color and duke it out with your friends. You can choose from many different weapons and battle each other in areas from the game or exclusive multiplayer levels. Even incorporated is the portal system, by which you can enter blue portals and come out anywhere in the level. Read less

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes was wildly popular when it came out. I remember seeing this game in many ppls PS1 collections, but there was also a pretty well made N64 version that I borrowed from friends every now and then. The campaign offers a tongue-in-cheek story starring little plastic Army Men engaging in full warfare against each other across kitchens, bathrooms, garages and gardens.

Playing it today is so stiff and feels horrible, and it only reminds me of how far we've come. Multiplayer was really where this game shined...shone...was shining...? Anyway, couch play with friends on the bathroom level is a warm memory, but revisiting this one is rough.
