Cannon Fodder 3 is now available to purchase from GamersGate, Codemasters has announced. It was previously thought that Cannon Fodder 3 would only be released in Russia, but this seems to have changed as suggested in perhaps the shortest press release in history.
NowGamer: "There are times when nostalgia wins out; when you realise this is an actual Cannon Fodder sequel, but that’s quickly squashed down and washed away by a glitchy, boring and hugely underwhelming experience. In fairness, it’s nowhere near as bad as might have been expected. But saying that about a game doesn’t mean it’s at all good."
GamesTM: "War was once a lot more fun."
I was too young to play the original Cannon Fodder but I do have hazy memories of watching some one else play it on some sort of ancient steam-powered computer. As such I didn’t expect a whole lot from Cannon Fodder 3, a sequel done by a Russian team that presumably have nothing to do with the series’ original creators Sensible Software. After a dodgy tutorial mission I was thrust outwards on my mission to exterminate racial stereotypes across the globe. Imagine my surprise 3 hours later finding myself still playing and, in fact, having a lot of fun. From HalfBeard's HUD.
DAMMM !!!! I really enjoyed Cannon Fodder back in the days. Might give this a try.
Wow, as soon as I saw that I jumped for joy, but I'm not really liking the screenshots. Definitely will give it a try at some point as I LOVED the originals back on the Amiga 500.
Pretty expensive though for a game that looks like that though o_o
