Overview edit

Army Men: World War - Final Front is a third-person shooter, with the gameplay style being very much like the previous Army Men. Once again, many of the missions are modeled after World War II battles and some battles take place in mysterious regions such as desert lands resembling Egypt and Jungles similar to South America's. It also features the player to control vehicles, such as bikes, tanks, boats and submarines.
