One of the best in the series with exciting gameplay and clever mission objectives.

It's by no means an original experience, but it still manages to entertain from start to finish. Army Men fans are going to love it.

The backgrounds are beautifully rendered and the action runs nonstop. [May 2003, p.138]

Though it lacks any original mechanics, and has a somewhat shallow premise, Sarge’s War is very finely polished. So polished, in fact, that you may just slip up (grasp the pun?) as a gamer and ignore the game outright.

For all the improvement Sarge's War shows over its predecessors, it's still only average at best. [May 2003, p.86]

There are literally dozens of better third-person-perspective, run-and-gun shooters on the market right now.

The game is still traeemark Army Men clunky, but you can look past the sloppier qualities - it still smacks of low-key production value - and enjoy the ceaseless combat for its base appeal. [June 2003, p.56]

Any aspect of the game that apires to distinction is negated by mediocrity. [May 2003, p.126]

Improvements to the solo adventure and the addition of some basic multiplayer modes elevate the game above its predecessors, but it can't turn the tide of battle in the franchise's favor.

Bomb-collection out the wazoo, a grim but bland story line, and everything old packaged as if it were new. [June 2003, p.75]

The games controls are clunky, the camera is spazzy, and the action stutters like crazy. [May 2003, p.41]
