Army Men (Video Game) | comment |
Army Men was a popular series of Video Games by the now-defunct The 3DO Company, about a war among several factions of plastic Army Men. The game was inspired by the developers' childhood memories of playing with miniature Army Men. The series lasted from 1998 to 2003, when 3DO went bankrupt. Many fans of the series laud the initial games' more "family oriented" take on the shooter genre. After Army Men: Air Attack, the brand started suffering from lower quality sequels and spinoffs (let's not talk about a certain game starring Sarge's war journalist girlfriend). Since 3DO went under in 2003, various other companies have since tried to make games based on the Army Men brand until 2008. | |

Video-Game Flamethrowers Suck | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_10c393f5 | comment |
Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: Averted. What do you think happens to little plastic army men who're exposed to flame? The answer: awesome happens. Played completely straight in The Mean Greens: Plastic Warfare, the flamethrower has infinite ammo but shoots a tiny jet barely five feet in front of you with no spread to the point the shotgun is more effective. Its only real use is to ignite the candles as the attacking team on the Operation: Birthday map. | |

Army Men (Video Game) / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Hoover, the team's minesweeper, looks like he wished he called himself a conscientious objector, and will retreat in RTS if he takes even a little damage. Though Plastro has his moments of Villainous Valour, suicidal or otherwise, when he's captured at the end of Sarge's Heroes 2 and Sarge threatens to punch his lights out, his reaction is to shout "not the face!" and immediately faint. | |

Darker and Edgier: Sarge's War, to a large extent. Sometimes borders on parody of the gritty war hero type film. Before that were the World War games, which played War Is Hell devastatingly straight. | |

Genre Shift | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The games underwent this as the series went on: The PC games are generally top down shooter / RTS hybrids with photorealistic pre-rendered visuals, while the PlayStation Army Men 3D and the Sarge's Heroes duology are polygonally-rendered third person shooters. The World War games are, pretty jarringly considering the rest of the series, quasi-realistic tactical shooters where the soldiers can only take a limited number of shots before dying. Portal Runner didn't use the Army Men name for a good reason, as it is a bizarre hybrid between Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot, starring Vikki. Air Attack and Air Tactics are third person helicopter shooter and top-down helicopter shooter / RTS hybrid, respectively. Green Rogue is a top-down Shoot 'Em Up ala Ikari Warriors. RTS is exactly what it claims to be. | |

Good Guns, Bad Guns: Averted - every weapon fits its specific role rather than being one among several different weapons, so everybody uses the same guns. That M16 Sarge swears by is also what arms the vast majority of the Tan soldiers he fights. | |

More Dakka: One of the fastest firing units in the series is the Space Valkyrie minigunner in Toys In Space. The original games have the BAR as an upgrade to your default weapon, which at least doubles the firing rate. Meanwhile, the M60 (which looks far more like a Bren) is the extra lead thrower in the Sarge's Heroes games. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Hero Units in the RTS. They do more damage than their normal counterparts and can usually take more punishment than them, but the lack of healing means that you need to be careful in how you use them, lest you lose out on a strong unit for the rest of the mission. | |

Actionized Sequel | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_4389e368 | comment |
Actionized Sequel: Army Men was a real time tactics shooter in an isometric view, that often saw you having to plan your next move carefully, as some areas were so fraught with enemy soldiers venturing into them would be suicide. The next game lessened the need for this, as little things, like having to account for soldiers hearing incoming mortars was removed, and rarely was it not beneficial to clear a map of enemies. Before long, the series shifted into a 3rd person shooter. Zig-zagged regarding the third person shooter games. The "World War" series leans on the tactical side, with Team Assault in particular dramatically reduce soldier's health, both you and your enemies side, while Sarge Heroes is often about charging, shooting, and dodging as One-Man Army Sergeant Hawk, and Air Assault features a One Chopper Army as the protagonist. | |

Badass in Distress: Vikki in both of Sarge's Heroes games. She spends most of her time as a captive secretly relaying tan troop movements. Bravo Company spending much of Sarge's Heroes in Tan clutches is a major plot point of that game, as Sarge must go out of his way to rescue each of them and put his squad back together. | |

Advertised Extra: Despite being in the name and on the cover, the eponymous Sarge's Heroes are barely in the game, only appearing in the missions where Sarge must rescue each one of them individually, and only briefly showing up together at the end (and we don't get to see them in action all that much, either). The game instead focuses almost completely on Sarge himself. | |

Downer Ending: Army Men: Sarge's War is pretty much this for the whole series. Bravo Company, Grimm and Vikki are melted, Lord Malice was Major Gooding all along, and Sarge feels empty inside after killing him. | |

Affably Evil | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: General Plastro, he may be the bad guy, but at least he's honest enough to admit it. This is best shown in the opening cutscene for the final level of Sarge's Heroes, where he and several Tan troops get the drop on an empty handed Sarge, only for Sarge to take out the troops by kicking a block at them. Plastro genuinely compliments and congratulates Sarge on his cleverness, admitting he didn't even see it coming; however, when Sarge tells Plastro to drop the gun and fight him one-on-one, Plastro refuses and straight up tells Sarge "I'm the bad guy." | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The Green Nation is Type I or "The Great" Eagleland. The Tan Nation is a combination of common media belligerents such as World War II Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Ba'athist (Saddam Hussein's) Iraq, complete with something of a mix of Saddam Hussein (the face) and Fidel Castro (the name and build) as their leader. The Blue Nation is an analogue of the various French sides in WWII that works out as a villainous version of Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys - they have an extensive spy network, but they also work with the Nazi Germany analogue and are very quick to surrender. The Gray Nation, in turn, ends up as a heroic version of the Vietcong, essentially North Vietnam's guerrilla warfare expertise (usually) combined with the South's loyalty to the USA analogue. | |

Ironic Nickname: The stoic, humorless Colonel Grimm is referred to in some sources, including the PS1 intro for Sarge's Heroes and several in-game bios, as "Happy Jack". For extra irony, most occurrences of the nickname outright mention his grim outlook from having been at war with the Tan several times over several decades, right in the very same sentence as they mention the nickname. His PS1 Sarge's Heroes bio at least does more or less state that it is, indeed, ironic. | |

Non-Standard Game Over: Army Men: Sarge's Heroes has one in the ice level where you free prisoners. If you manage to get yourself locked in a cell, Plastro himself comes out of nowhere to mock you followed by a game over. Sarge's Heroes 2 has a hilarious one. The tutorial has you follow orders from Colonel Grimm, a.k.a. Vikki's father. You can choose to kill him and simply finish the tutorial yourself, but at the end, instead of Vikki's usual "Congratulations" when you open the last door, she will immediately shoot you with a bazooka as soon as the door opens. Even if you somehow dodge, you still fail. | |

Artificial Stupidity: Sarge's Heroes' ally AI is this in spades. The generic Green Soldiers only appear in a few levels and they rarely ever manage to kill a single tan soldier even if they're in a group. In the same game there is a mission where you can bust a handful of Grey soldiers out of prison cells. They are very prone to friendly fire and they have a tendency to set off alarms. | |

Every Helicopter Is a Huey | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_94b78deb | comment |
Every Helicopter Is a Huey: Owing to The Vietnam War being a heavy influence on the original plastic figures, and by extension the Army Men games - if the game isn't focused entirely on the air power, Hueys are the helicopter for every side. Air Tactics does move you into a Black Hawk by the 5th mission and then a Cobra by the final levels. Air Attack applies this to the player's side (Tan helicopters are almost universally Cobras instead), where the player starts off with a Huey and generic allied Green pilots continue to swear by them even as the player is able to upgrade through to Chinooks, Super Stallions, and Apaches. | |

Red-plica Baron: Air Attack 2 features a character, Baron von Beige, who is based on Richthofen. "Tan Baron" flies a Fokker Dr.I, like The Red Baron. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_96ecc67e | comment |
Played completely straight in The Mean Greens: Plastic Warfare, the flamethrower has infinite ammo but shoots a tiny jet barely five feet in front of you with no spread to the point the shotgun is more effective. Its only real use is to ignite the candles as the attacking team on the Operation: Birthday map. | |

A Day in the Limelight: Did you know Riff and Scorch actually got a game that focused on them? In the Game Boy Color port of Army Men Sarges Heroes 2 (which functions as a completely different game) the two Bravo Company members and Vikki are the only playable characters in that game and they even have their own personal vehicles to ride. Hoover also has a level dedicated to himself in Army Men RTS where he proves to be actually pretty good at leading a team. | |

Zig-zagged regarding the third person shooter games. The "World War" series leans on the tactical side, with Team Assault in particular dramatically reduce soldier's health, both you and your enemies side, while Sarge Heroes is often about charging, shooting, and dodging as One-Man Army Sergeant Hawk, and Air Assault features a One Chopper Army as the protagonist. | |

Rule of Funny | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_a60e3252 | comment |
Rule of Funny: Hard to avoid when the whole game is about miniature toys trying to kill each other. Air Attack, for example, has a level where one of your bases is being torn apart... by ants. And to dispatch them, you have to drop cherry bombs on their anthills. Another mission has as its first goal winching a 12 V battery to power a toy train loaded with Green supplies; the next mission is about chasing RC bomb cars. And to unlock the final chopper, you need to gather its construction pieces, which come in gunpla-like packaging. | |

The Many Deaths of You: The second game, Toys In Space and World War featured various failure cut-scenes, complete with "You Lose" in army stencil font. Many of these tend to be horrific, especially the hospital scene in the second game. It should be noted that it isn't actually Sarge in these cut-scenes but just a generic soldier (excluding the grave scene). | |

Bottomless Magazines: Most of the games tend to give your starting weapon infinite ammo, sometimes with a drawback (the M16 in the N64 Sarge's Heroes games has a very slow rate of fire, the PS1 Sarge's Heroes 2 makes it overheat when fired too much) and sometimes with an ammo-guzzling upgrade available (the BAR in the original two games, which trades the infinite ammo for a much higher rate of fire). | |

Shout-Out | |
Army Men (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Pretty much a staple of the series later in its run, both in level names and even villains. It was doing it as far back as the second game, where one two part mission was just one big shout out to Apocalypse Now. The opening speech in the PC and PS1 version of Sarge's Heroes is an almost complete recreation of Patton's speech from the 1970 film. One set of missions in the very first Army Men was a condensed version of Kelly's Heroes. One of the items one can melt down to mold plastic in RTS is a Jumbo Machinder style robot figure that looks like a hybrid between UFO Robo Grendizer and Getter Robo. In the third level of Army Men: Air Attack, you are commanded to protect a train carrying supplies. Said train looks an awful lot like a certain blue E2 tank engine. | |

Only the heroes like Bravo Company and Captain Blade are really of much use at all, and even at the start of Sarge's Heroes, the Tan Army manages to launch a successful surprise attack against the Green base and capture all of Bravo company save for Sarge. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Objects in the real world take on a sense of scale and grandiose nature to three inch tall Army Men. One of the best examples is in Army Men RTS where Also sprach Zarathustra plays while Bravo Company looks on a black monolith... a vertically standing PlayStation 2. | |

Developer's Foresight: In the mission where Capt. Blade has to pick up a squad led by either Sarge or Vikki to blow up a radar station, picking Vikki while Bombshell is your co-pilot causes her to get really jealous, to the point she will actually ask you to pick Sarge. | |

You Require More Vespene Gas: Plastic and power in the RTS. The latter is oddly treated as a gathered/stored resource the same as plastic, instead of being produced and consumed by buildings like in Command & Conquer. | |
