However, a few levels will put you in the real world, running through giant-sized bathrooms and living rooms, complete with huge furniture and very timely Christmas decorations. That's right, set foot into that big bathtub or any other minor body of water, and your guy won't drown, he'll just fall to his knees and die. Very odd indeed. The graphics in Army Men are very well done, with or without a memory expansion pack. Without, things look a little grainy, but for the most part very good.
Explosions are large and colorful, leaving a good amount of smoke behind.
And, the fog that plagues so many games on the N64 is hardly noticeable, allowing you to look all around and take in most of the entire level. Adding the memory pack, of course, increases the resolution and brings out lots of detail. The models for most things are simplistic, but look very much like their real-life counterparts, which are admittedly simplistic in their own right. And, believe it or not, that Plastosheen actually does a decent job of adding reflections in just the right places to make the green soldiers, helicopters, and whatnot look like shiny plastic. Also, the animation of these guys actually replicates their real-life brethren fairly well, featuring all of their dramatically molded poses, including the lie on the ground pose, the take a knee and aim the bazooka pose, and the jump in the air pose.
