Sarge Hawk and Colonel Happy Jack Grimm make a narrow escape by helicopter from the Tan attack on the Green base, but on the way the pilot spots a Blue tank in the middle of the nearest town, which is highly suspicious given the circumstances, and Hawk decided to go investigate. Trying to follow Blue Spy, Sarge finds himself in some kind of strange, illuminated cave or hole, ending in a giant bathroom, catching the Blue Agent.
Regarding the Commando group of the Bravo company, the "Sarge's Heroes", nothing is known about them, and it only remains to be hoped that they have escaped the attack unharmed...
The Blue spy provided a lot of information about the plans of Plastro and the Tan army, about the discovery of the "Portals" and the weapons that Plastro can get there. Also the whereabouts of the Heroes. Thanks to that, Sarge rescued Riff, and now he's on his way to rescue Hoover...
FMV Mod for Army Men: Sarge's Heroes in Sega Dreamcast, adding the video cutscenes.
Sarge's Heroes is a third-person shooting video game developed and published by The 3DO Company for Nintendo 64 in North America on September 28, 1999 and April 14, 2000 in Europe. The player normally controls Sarge Hawk, a sergeant of the Green Army and fights against the evil General Plastro and the Tan Army. The story is the eternal racial war between the Greens and the Tas. This is 3DO's grand attempt to incorporate a recognizable brand into the Army Men franchise. Establish a main cast, updating the generic "Sarge" from the original series to a strongman Sarge Hawk, giving him a squad, a girlfriend and an officer at the helm. It is a very successful launch, despite the fact that Jim Cummings only gives the voice to each male character, resulting quite convincing. This game helped to bring the franchise further to the subseries Sarge's Heroes. Both armies are named after the usual colors of plastic toy army men.
There are two player modes: Campaign and BootCamp, in addition to the Multiplayer mode. In multiplayer mode from 2 to 4 players, players choose their character, faction (color) and difficulty.
The campaign of a player is the main mode of Sarge's Heroes. The player travels through various missions, completing objectives, killing enemies, destroying vehicles and rescuing plastic allies.
The BootCamp is a training level where the player learns the controls. It consists of training areas for all weapons, an obstacle course and a "real fire track".
Exclusive to the PS1 version of the game are the fully animated prerendered scenes, which the Nintendo 64 lacks, thanks to the limited space in the cartridges. Even the Dreamcast version, which is nothing more than an improved copy of the N64, stuck to the pantomime narration in the engine instead of the CGI-animated FMV films.
On N64 you don't have to deal with the clumsy physics and poor collision detection of PS1, even though N64 it's not perfect, it's just much better. DC is not much different to N64, but something worse. It's positive that the lack of verticality of PS1 and PC is not present in N64 and DC, because it adds a whole new dimension to the missions. The N64 version was not optimal in terms of its controls, but it was not as bad as Playstation 1 and PC.
Even though the Army Men games had already established a formula for their third-person shooting games with Army Men 3D, Sarge's Heroes deviates a lot, completely overhauling almost every aspect. The camera perspective, the detail, the movement, the animation; everything has been changed to allow for a faster and less deliberate pace. Sarge Hawk can also jump, which allows for a little climbing on platforms. Pero lo worst is the time it takes the camera that follows the player to adjust itself again, so that the view that we have ahead is not so disconcertingly vacillating.
The worse: the Dreamcast version has a total absence of pilotable vehicles. Only the Playstation and PC version has some tanks.
The Dreamcast version is the same than N64, only with better graphics, textures, character design and voice acting included, which is why Dreamcast is probably the best version (except that the FMV is missing here too).
