Army Men 3D

Army Men 3D is a third-person shooter developed by 3DO and released for the PlayStation in 1999. It plunges players into the world of miniature plastic army men, bringing their tabletop battles to life in a 3D environment.

The game puts you in control of Sergeant Sammy, a brave soldier of the Green Army, as you undertake a series of objectives across distinct theaters of war. You'll move your soldier through environments that mimic a child's bedroom, a backyard, or a kitchen counter, all rendered in 3D. Your primary task is to eliminate enemy plastic soldiers from the Tan Army and complete mission-specific goals, which can range from destroying enemy strongholds to rescuing captured comrades.

Gameplay in Army Men 3D involves direct combat. You can switch between a variety of weapons, from standard rifles to more explosive options like bazookas and flamethrowers. The environments offer opportunities for tactical play; you can take cover behind toy blocks, shoot through cardboard boxes, or even utilize environmental hazards. The transition to 3D was a significant aspect for the series, allowing for more freedom of movement and a different perspective on the familiar plastic army men conflict.
