Although the plot keeps it afloat, the lack of any variety will quickly wear on most gamers.
-
While the multiplayer mode's forgettable, and there's not a ton of replay value, the first run through the story is surprisingly long, and filled to the brim with some of the most amazing scenery conceived outside of a Toy Story film.
-
Your enjoyment of Portal Runner depends wholly on your tolerance for both straight-up, albeit slightly watered-down, 3D platform-adventure gameplay and 3DO's distinct brand of abstract patriotism.
-
The platforming design and gem collecting feel like the sort of gameplay one would expect in an old-school game--and I don't mean this as a compliment.
-
Several shots short of a 21 gun salute.
-
It sits squarely in the middle of fun and boring.
-
Think of this game as Tomb Raider Lite-it features a similarly obnoxious control scheme in a much cheerier universe.
-
Likely the best non-Air Attack game that I've played in this widening franchise, and while it's still far from a game that I'd recommend, it's a step in the right direction.
-
There are flashes of progress to be found in this title, and if 3DO continues to build upon Portal Runner's shortcomings, there is a possibility for a truly decent Army Men game in the future.
-
Unfortunately the game is not going to be any kind of a challenge for the more seasoned PS2 owners amongst us.
