Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 is 3DO's latest sacrifice to the Well of Needless Things, though it's definitely an improvement over some of the more recent offerings of Army Men drivel. The game isn't fatally flawed, but it isn't much fun, either. Read on.
The opening is a treat, and the FMV's are all very nicely done - which seems to be the norm for 3DO's most recent wave of next-gen drink coasters. But at this point, bad FMV's are more surprising than good ones. By now, programmers should have the hang of CGI.
Ladies and gents, the fabricated word of the day is "plastrification". Plastrification, in the Army Men mythos, results in the hardening of limbs and the frightening growth of a plastic base around the feet. A person, er, plastic guy, can be plastrified (my editorial spider-sense is screaming with every scribble of this fake word) due solely to excessive amounts of time spent in an alternate world.
