Defunct Games's video: Electronic Gaming Monthly s Top 12 Army Men Games

As we spend Memorial Day honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military, I can’t help but think about some of gaming’s most beloved war franchises, like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. But instead of talking about a series that people still like, I figured I would go back in time and talk about Army Men, a franchise that has practically been forgotten about in 2023. While time may not have been kind to 3DO’s long-running series, I wondered what Electronic Gaming Monthly thought of these little toy soldiers. Did they hate this series as much as everybody else, or was there an Army Men game the Review Crew actually recommended? In case you’re wondering, Electronic Gaming Monthly reviewed a total of twelve Army Men games between 1999 and 2004. They could have covered more, but this is one of the very few franchises that EGM gave up on reviewing. After Army Men: Sarge’s War, EGM handed over all future games to Seanbaby, who had his own column mocking the worst games in existence. What we’re going to do today is countdown the best and worst Army Men games using Electronic Gaming Monthly’s own words and scores, not including the titles humorously covered by Seanbaby. There’s no editorializing here, we’re going to focus on what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, go and grab a fake-plastic toy gun and paint yourself green, because we’re about to go to war when EGM Ranks the Army Men series. 0:00 – Introduction 1:44 – Commercial: Army Men 3D (U.S.) 2:15 – Army Men: Green Rogue (PS2) 3:06 – Army Men: World War (PS1) 4:00 – Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes 2 (N64) 4:50 – Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes (Dreamcast) 5:35 – Army Men: Sarge’s War (GCN) 6:28 – Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes (N64) 7:06 – Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes 2 (PS2) 7:54 – Army Men 3D (PS1) 8:28 – Army Men: Air Attack (PS1) 9:00 – Army Men: RTS (PS2) 9:52 – Army Men: Air Attack 2 (PS1) 10:41 – Army Men: Air Attack 2 (PS2) 11:39 – Commercial: Army Men – Air Attack (U.S.) 12:10 – Question of the Day Join our brand-new Discord Server: Ask in the Comments for a Link Defunct Games is on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/DefunctGames Defunct Games is on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/defunctgames Defunct Games is home to thousands of reviews, articles, comedy pieces, podcasts, features and more: www.defunctgames.com
