I think it is quite safe to say that this game was a great successor to its first. I recommend retro gamers to give it a try.

Possibly the definition of hidden gem. There's a reason this series still has a pretty strong following even 13 years after the bankruptcy of 3DO. Army Men II is about as good as it gets; the perfect combination of an overhead shooter and an RTS. Gameplay and environments are inventive, soundtrack is very solid, graphics are good for 1999. Do yourself a favor and check this thing out, you'll never regret it.
