third-person shooter, soldiers of the Green and Tan Army fight each other on a variety of 3D environments, including those in Our World (the human world). One such setting is a desk with the portal being the opening of a

Synopsis ''Army Men: Sarge's Heroes'' is a
third-person shooter where players take the role of soldiers in 3D battlefields. In Their World (the setting for the plastic soldiers) The Green Army, led by Colonel Grimm, has members of the Bravo Company, its best troops, and Grimm's daughter Vikki, a top reporter for the official Green Army newspaper
Green Star News, captured by the Tan Army, led by General Plastro. On the Green Army's base, the game's first mission is the leader of the Bravo Company that did not get captured, Sargent Hawk, getting Grimm, his mentor, to an escape
chopper. This is all the while the invading Tan Army and other Green Army soldiers attack each other, where Sarge also helps his fellow men. In Our World, the plastic soldiers are tiny in proportion to the space and battle in areas of a typical American suburban household, such as the countertop of a kitchen, sandbox, backyard, living room, bedroom, garden, and bathroom. In Their World, foes are the Tan army's soldiers (which dies in one or two hits), tanks and helicopters, while in Our World, enemies include a big spider. ''Army Men: Sarge's Heroes'' features variations on 13 weapons that equip the player, most of which require the rescue of commandos that each have a unique set of weapons: an
M16 rifle,
M60,
sniper rifle with a scope for zooming,
shotgun,
grenade,
grenade launcher,
C-4,
flamethrower, artillery launcher,
bazooka,
mortar,
satchel charge, and
mine detector. Collected extra weapons are removed from the inventory by the entrance of the next world. Via simple objectives, the Boot Camp mode, which takes place on a practice range, teaches the player how to platform, use the weapons and push down the levers. Some tasks can be only be achieved with certain equipment; soldiers on mountaintops can only be killed with snipers, and those in
bunkers with grenades. Additionally, some lands are filled with hidden mines solely detectable with the minesweeper. Other scenarios allow multiple choices of weapons to take out opponents. For example, when destroying a tank, it is longer but safer to lay mines around it and then activate them with a grenade throw, than directly destroy it with a bazooka, where missing the shooting could gain the riders of the tank attention to the player character. All weapons besides the default M16 rifle are out of the soldiers' bag if a
life is lost. == Background ==
