The level of difficulty is compounded by the game's pathetic visuals, as the grainy graphics can make it difficult to see exactly what you're shooting at or what's shooting at you. Bad draw-in, texture warping, polygon dropout--Final Front suffers from virtually every visual flaw that a PlayStation game can suffer from, save for slowdown. The levels alternate from pitch-black to washed-out, and the textures are, more often than not, bland and low in quality.
The game's sound fares better than its graphical presentation, though it doesn't have the same level of grandeur as Land, Sea, Air--the music swells up only from time to time, and randomly at that. Still, the sound effects are top-notch--the crack of the rifle is loud and sharp, the motorcycles engine possesses an appropriately low growl, and the squeaking and crunching of tank treads help to make up for the anti-immersion that the graphics provide.
When held up to the standards of the franchise, Army Men World War: Final Front is definitely in the upper echelons of the group. More amazingly, when judged on the merits of the game on its own, Final Front still proves to be a fun game--if you can get past the steep learning curve and 1996-style graphics.
