The 3DO Company today announced that it has begun shipping the Army Men: Green Rogue game for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and PlayStation game console to retail outlets throughout North America and online shopping sites. This exciting new sub-brand in the Army Men series brings a twist in the ongoing war between the Green and Tan nations. The game features third person, forward-scrolling, arcade-style shooter action that will have players doing battle on foot and in amphibious assault vehicles.
The Army Men: Green Rogue game introduces the Green Army's ultimate soldier: The Omega Soldier. Created within the covert labs of G.A.A.R.D (Green Army Advance Research Division), scientists have combined the genetic samples of Sarge and the Bravo Company Commandos to create this bio-engineered warrior. Skilled in various types of weaponry (including rifle, grenade launcher, bazooka and flame thrower), Omega Soldier has a vast arsenal at his disposal. Phenomenal special effects bring these weapons to life with realistic explosions, smoke, shadows, water reflections, and much more. Gamers will use both of the DUALSHOCK 2 analog controllers to guide the Omega Soldier, allowing the character to move and attack in all directions. The Army Men: Green Rogue game takes players through 16 exciting levels and 5 head-to-head boss encounters. In addition, a 2 player cooperative mode offers an additional challenge, as gamers team up to take on the Tans.
