Army Men: RTS (Nintendo GameCube, 2004)

As far as I know this is the only game of its type for gamecube. Gamecubes drawback was its limited library of games.
I have played a similar build a factory and send your armies forth type game on home computer. It was an older game, but the controls were abit easier, especially the camera. This game the camrera and map are too narrow viewed.
Swithching back and forth between controls seems difficult because you can only see so much of the game at once. Also it was complicated. like I said if I had not already played a game like this the instructions would have lost me.
I want to say that this might deter young players but they seem to get the hang of things quicker than us grown ups.
The army men are cute as always and when you send out your machines to harvet raw materials they go out and melt down frissbees and water guns for plastic to build more troops and tanks, cute. Its a cute game all around. The troops take thier war like lives so seriously meanwhile you march past a garden knome and can hear little girls laughing in the distance.
If the camera and map work was a little less claustrophobic and the controls easier I would have liked the game better, but its still good and your ONLY option on Gamecube for R T S.

This game was purchased mostly for the kids. But it is one of the few games that I enjoy playing. It's easier to handle, not too many directionals. I like that you have an overview instead of looking thru the characters eyes.
It's a lot of fun, the levels are difficult but not impossible. My 6 year old plays. It has Bronze, Silver, and Gold finishing levels. So you can play each area over again to finish with a better score, thus opening secret areas.
I also like that you can build your own army. Buidings, tanks, ambulances, different types of soldiers, and so on. The # of each is up to you. It depends on your objective and how you decide to attack the area.
I like this game. I give it a thumbs up.

At first the game can be overwhelming and frustrating but once you learn how to out flank the Tan the game becomes addictive. Send out patrols or a sniper to find the enemy. Secure your base with guard towers, barbed wire, pill boxes, tanks, half tracks or choppers. You decide how many and what type of Army man to send out and with or without heavy equipment. You talk about inter-active, this is it!! When I was a kid everybody played with the little plastic Army men and now you can do it on the screen. This type of game is more in line with hepling a childs mind to develop than most others and is a must buy.

this is a very kool game , if you like the command & conquer seris,you will love this, very similar, build bases,build an army, kill the tan, i bought this game and i cant put it down,,,great addition to anyone collection, very easy to learn how to build bases and so on,,,ALL AND ALL GREAT GAME

I bought this game because I had "Sarges Army Men" on Nintendo 64 and I loved it, but thinking this was similar to it I was surprised that it was totally different.First of all the game takes long to load when it moves to another menu choice ,then the way you would move around your player is sort of difficult and boring.
