Cannon Fodder 3 for PC and XBox 360

TBH I don't know how they could possibly improve on the original. Here's hoping it doesn't end up with pointless 3D graphics and 27 buttons to control it.

Agreed, lots of games add 3D for the sake of it and it adds nothing to enhance the gameplay. Worms 3D and that awful PacMan 3D on the XBox spring to mind.

As expected - crap 3D graphics, annoying isometric view, and overcomplicated gameplay. I'll pass on this one.

I agree, as expected the 3D isometric view looks crap. But then again, no one actually thought it would be any good, did they?

Anyway, I'm off to play the original...

Even putting 3D-isometric-annoyingness aside, the graphics look incredibly dated. It looks like a game from the late 90s.

my only hope is to be able to play it with friends ! thats the only missing thing in cannon fodder and so far, no clone, if any, was intended to played by at least 2-players !

Oh man, a 2-players cannon fodder !!!! that would have been great fun !

Yeah, a 2 player option I about the only thing a new version could bring. I remember me and my best mate fighting over who got the next turn on Cannon Fodder

Just thought I would heads up here, that there is an iphone game called "grunts", which seems to be a more faithful cannon fodder clone

Grunts is pretty good and fairly Cannon-Fodder like, but for some reason it didn't grab me in the same way as CF. Maybe I'll give it another go
