I rented it today and its going back tommorow

For starters I can name an easy dozen PSX games with better graphics

and gameplay is just lame

I can\'t even stomach giving this one a chance

Didn\'t 3DO make it? :D

Does anyone else see something severely wrong that 3DO has 4 games out for the PS2 already? Not to mention 3 of them are friggin\' Army Men games!!!

Though, I must admit, I have been tryin\' to get my friend to buy the game, just to see how bad it sucked (and for a good laugh).

On a sidenote; could you be more specific Ddaryl? What is lame about the gameplay? I read a review in GameInformer (I think) that said it was a pretty cool game. Don\'t quote me on that. But, I do remember one of the magazines saying it was worth a chance.

1st this is Heros of Might and Magic, NOT Warriors of Might and Magic, bith are out on the PS2


1st you get to pick one of 4 characters. All with slightly different atributes



You buy some troops. Peasnats, Archers, etc...  You are this horse and you gallop around on a map till you bump into another character. This  puts you in battle mode

Battle mode is a chessboard, each of your troops can move differently depending on class, and attack differently again dependant on class

You and your enemies are represented with 1 character. If you have archers Peasants and soldiers you will have 3 Characters on the chess board. If you have 10 archers 100 Peasants and 20 soldiers you will have 3 characters on the chess board representing each character class.

When you attack or enemies attack a -1, -3, -5, -10 will appear above the head of the character thus showing you how many hitpoint or troops you lost or damaged.


Basically you move choose who you want to attack then watch

You  will build  up magic strength in the game and stuff and armies as well, but with out graphic splendor or multiple characters on screen to show off these troops , and lack of any real visual delight... WHO CARES !


Overall The graphics are so piss poor MGS, Vagrant Story FFiX on the PSX look as good or even better.


The game is nothing special definetly nothing Next gen about it. Attacks and SPells are  as generic looking as can be. Strategy may come into play later on, but the early taste is jsut plain

I might goof with it again tonight before I take it back tommorrow  but I\'m not sure I really can stomach even trying

Nope. Apperently some developer caled "  New World Computing" developed this game. But obviously it didn\'t make a difference. :D

Anyhoo, Daily Radar gave said this game was a hit. I believe you ddaryl when you say this games sucks but maybe it\'s not a game for everyone. Then again Daily Radar is totally devoted to PS2 and usually tends to make the best out of every PS2 game so your probably right.

I rented it today because Ring of Red was a cool strategy game and DR said this was a cool Strategy Game


To me this game was built on a budget that will make a profit if every rental place in the US buys 1 copy and a few stragglers by a copy

This is a rediculous comment

RoR is a damn cool game, so is ZOE.

Maybe not AAA but no way in hell you could possibly even consider these games in the same ballpark at Heroes

RoR = Ring of Red

Both ZOE and Ring of Red are solid B games

Heroes is an F

ETHUGG are you talking about Warriors of Might and Magic or Heroes of Might and Magic

1 different Games. Heroes is bad for a PSX game let alone a PS2 game

Since I have ALL of the above, and am entitled to my opinion, I stand by EVERYTHING I\'ve said. I think saying ZOE and ROR are solid F\'s would be overly nice. I like Warriors over all 3 games. I truely h8 those 3 games as much as I say. I\'m not exaggerating. I feel they represent the most boring, worst games *ever*, not just on PS2. Obviously I\'m in the minority, but that makes my opinions no less valid.

I\'m sorry people but the sh|ttiest game for PS2, without question, is Army Men: Green Rogue as it sucks sh|t from a donkey\'s ass.

Rent the game it sucks so bad, you won\'t believe it!!

And second of all, all the Might and Magic games have sucked and I didn\'t see how this one was different.  But at least we have confirmed it DD.  Hey like you said, better to spend $5 now than $50 later.

I was thinking of getting Army Men: Green Rogue, but IGN.com said that the frame rate was real bad.  Everything was slow!!  I like the way the solders look.  They look like bad ass armymen.  :D

Well im disapointed. HOMM3 on the PC was basically a great and fun game.

When I read the DR review I began to have doubts by the way they have drastically turned it down and made it linear in comparasion to its PC original roots.

This will probably be a game im avoiding.

Thanks for the info DDaryl.

i just played a demo of it, i cant beleive how much it sucks

Post by: Living-In-Clip on April 28, 2001, 06:06:34 AM
I personally can\'t stand Z.O.E, but I haven\'t had a chance to try out RoR.

Ehh. This whole 3DO thing (ARMY MEN) is crazy. I swear, there should be a law against three ARMY MEN games bein\' on one system within such a short amount of time.

See\'ing as everyone is gettin\' Heros: Might and Magic and Warriors: Might and Magic confused (includin\', moi), I have a question.

Has anyone got to play the 3DO game Warriors of Might and Magic? I am curious on how bad it is.

Post by: kopking on April 28, 2001, 06:26:45 AM
why do they keep making them god damn army men games, they always get bad reviews, i cant believe people would even buy these games, and if they did they would take them back. 3do must be going bankrupt over these game they must sell 1 copy of them. Dont they understand NO ONE LIKES THE ARMY MEN GAMES, and if you do you need your head examined

Post by: RichG on April 28, 2001, 10:49:15 AM
It seems to me that if 3DO can produce so many army men games then the production costs must be low. So low infact that chances are if every rental shop had a copy that would be sufficant for them to break even.

L-I-C: I have it... it\'s kinda like Akuji or Crusaders of M&M only prettier... a little bit.

kopking: I like Sarges Heroes 2.... are you gonna pay for the doctor?
