Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is a flight combat game released on the PlayStation 2 and two other systems. As the name implies, the protagonist is Snoopy, the dog in Charles M. Schulz's comic strip, Peanuts. The game is based on one of the most famous Snoopy alter egos: a World War I flying ace battling against Manfred von Richthofen the Red Baron, the Flying Circus: Jagdgeschwader 1, the Black Hand and other pre--World War I organizations of Europe.

The game is introduced in a scene as Charlie Brown and Lucy van Pelt find Snoopy sleeping on top on his doghouse as usual and wondering what Snoopy might be dreaming about. Snoopy quickly wakes up shooting imaginary enemies. Charlie Brown replies that Snoopy is probably dreaming about being a famous World War I flying ace. The game then focuses on Snoopy's dream.

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is the first (and so far only) time the characters have been animated in 3D with the express permission and tacit approval of Creative Associates and the Schulz family for an officially licensed Peanuts product.

Note: One of my favorite pick up and play game in my collection. Never a huge fan of the Peanuts comic strip but manage to pick this up after I heard good words about the game. People who like flying combat game or somewhat casual in that genre should pick it up as the game play is simple to pick up but the game get very challenge later on the story. Well worth the time to search for this game. If you can't, I would recommend the squeal of it on Xbox arcade under the name Snoopy Flying Ace.
