Snoopy vs. the Red Baron (video game)
Summary
Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is a flight combat game released on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PC in 2006. As the name implies, the protagonist is Snoopy, the dog in Charles M. Schulz's comic strip, Peanuts. The game is based on Snoopy's alter ego as a World War I flying ace, battling against Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron, the Flying Circus: Jagdgeschwader 1, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, German Empire, Ottoman Empire, and other enemies of the war.
This is the first Peanuts game released on a Sony platform and the second overall Peanuts game based on Snoopy's ace pilot fantasies, after Snoopy and the Red Baron. It was followed in 2010 by Snoopy Flying Ace.
The game has 22 missions to complete, with upgradeable World War I-era planes, including Snoopy's Sopwith Camel, to control. Unlike the original comic, many Peanuts characters appear in the game as officers and pilots for the Royal Flying Corps. The main characters include Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Sally, Peppermint Patty, Marcie and more. There are also several enemies for Snoopy to shoot down, including the Baron himself.
Snoopy vs. the Red Baron begins with Lucy and Charlie Brown wondering what Snoopy does in his spare time, a World War I flying ace being one of them. Linus meanwhile, has just finished reading Snoopy's manuscript about his flying ace daydreams when Charlie himself comes up to read it.
In Snoopy’s manuscript, a fictional story set in 1916 Europe during World War I, Charlie Brown is the janitor for the Royal Flying Corps, Lucy is the general, Linus is the intelligence officer and Marcie is the head scientist. The Red Baron and his Flying Circus aided by Kaiserliche Marine begins an attack on Civilization Island (or Aerodrome Island). The Allies are able to successfully destroy both the Baron's base and a battleship that attacks the allied aerodrome.
Back at the aerodrome, Charlie Brown is perusing plans for a "doodlebug bomb," a weapon of mass destruction that could change the outcome of the war when he is kidnapped by a German spy.
