Army Men: RTS brings the never‑ending war between the Greens and the Tans to the PC and PlayStation 2, using a version of the Dark Reign 2 engine to deliver true 3D graphics and classic real‑time strategy gameplay. Players build bases, manage resources, and command squads of tiny plastic soldiers across familiar real‑life environments turned into demanding battlegrounds. The game offers both a robust single‑player campaign and multiplayer modes, letting you test your tactics against AI or human opponents. Developed by Pandemic Studios and published by 3DO, it launched on March 28 2002 and earned a solid 75/100 critic score.
