War surely isn't supposed to be this much fun... Coming at you courtesy of Codemasters, Cannon Fodder mixes casualties and comedy in an innovate game that delivers pristine play control and challenging action. After watching a shockingly sweet opening animation sequence - one of the best on Game Boy Color - it's immediately obvious that despite its light-hearted approach, this game is no joke. Viewing the superbly-rendered battlefields from an overhead perspective, Cannon Fodder has the look of a real-time strategy game.
This Pak is all about action. You control two soldiers simultaneously, guiding them around the screen by moving a cross-hair cursor. Press the A Button to make your troops move, and the B Button to make them fire at an enemy. This control system may sound unusual, but it works fantastically and gives Cannon Fodder a unique feel. On top of regular machinegun fire, your soldiers can also throw grenades and fire rocket launchers, then occasionally enter a tank and start wreaking serious havoc on enemy troops.The best aspect of Cannon Fodder has to be the screams, the yells, and the ear-piercing cries of agony. Each time a soldier falls, you're treated to awesome digital audio voice samples of obnoxious cries. Someone at Codemasters had a good time in a sound booth somewhere. Other voice samples from excited soldiers add a welcome slab of humour to the military missions.
When not exploring dense jungles or arctic tundra, you can chill at the base and pay your respects to your fallen comrades at the War Memorial. While reflecting on the bravery of your buddies, you can also check out which soldiers have recorded the most hits on the Top Five Heroes list. After a gruelling tour of duty, you'll agree wholeheartedly with Cannon Fodder's claim that "War has never been so much fun."
