"Cannon Fodder" in name only - what a horrid disappointment

[Benzo]

I wish Jon Hare had been allowed to make his vision for Cannon Fodder 3. Instead, we get this. Such a shame.

[goebish]

Nothing more to say. The worst 19€ I ever spent in a video game :/

Absolutely wonderful sequel. It has everything the predecessors had and more.

[Toneloc]

i think its a great game..just like originals,with improvements.

[coolbloke1324]

Agreed. Totally regret this purchase. No demo for a reason... anyone looking to buy this save youself the money, it is not a faithful follow-on from the first two and the controls and camera movement are horrible. Firing is less aim and more spray and pray. This is rinse and repeat levels with no imagination, don't buy it.

Heh thanks guys I was on the fence due to nostalgia and I think you've saved me both money and disappointment teamed with frustration.

Do you guys actually remember how the original Cannon Fodders are?

There was no aiming in the originals, your bullets flew all over the place. I loved Cannon Fodder 3, I put over 10 hours into this game and still plan on playing more of it.

The only thing I found lacking was the in game menus felt, and looked quite cheap.This game is quite faithful to the originals in style and gameplay, the only thing they really added was the ability to control your squad with WSAD, which is optional, you can still use old school point and click.

I found this game at times very challening, it made me chuckle a few times, and most of all its fun. I bought this for $19.99 back when it first came onto Steam and do not regret it one bit.

You're right, it was spray and pray! lol Sometimes the memory candy coats.... still, no demo no buy for me. Well, until it hits the $5 point and i'll probably cave.

The first CF on Sega MD2 is still better than this. Emul it on Gens on my PSP.

[Shizu]

I still rather boot up the old Cannon Fodder from GOG when I feel in the mood for this kind of game, this doesn't look worth it.

[Nosferatu]

I'm still on the fence :( but going by the general thoughts here I'll wait until it's cheaper

Hi guys, if you are Cannon Fodder fans you might want to check out the greelight title "RUNNING WITH RIFLES". I am not saying it's how Cannon Fodder should have been but we took our inspiration from games such as Cannon Fodder and mixed it with the Battlefield series:

we also have a demo to try out!

Yup and can still play them (dosbox) which is why I'm so disapointed by this version. Look, some people ARE going to like it but there is something missing from this version. 1 and 2 are still gems and always will be.

The originals are not spray and pray in the same way that this is.

i like it .
It feels like a modern version of the real CF with new features.
The vehicle controls sucks

How in the world do I save the campaign in this game? Spent some hours in it, but every time I restart CF3, I have to start from scratch.
