Simply titled Army Men Advance , players continue their adventures in the never-ending battle between the Green and the Tan. Alternating from the plastic world and the real world, players battle it out through 17 levels on their way to their ultimate confrontation with Plastro, who has plans to destroy the Green Army forever. As one of two playable characters, Sarge or Ace Reporter Vikki, you'll have to figure out what Plastro's plans are and stop him once and for all. There are five weapons to help in the fight, including an M16, an M60, a flamethrower, a bazooka, and more than a few grenades. What's cool about Army Men Advance is how the diverse environments allow players to interact with them.
Players can blow up such items as a piggy bank or use electrical outlets as traps.
The amount of gameplay in Army Men Advance is impressive. The game is played via an overhead view, much like Perfect Dark for the Game Boy Color, and the pacing is similar to a typical action scroller. Intertwined with the gameplay are puzzles and mazes that'll keep even the most avid gamer busy. Enemies range from your basic Tan Soldier to aliens, dust mites, beetles, and robots. Players will immediately notice the cartoonish look and feel of Army Men Advance .
