CNET Editors' review
Its primitive looks aside, this humorous screensaver makes a nice addition to your desktop. As you might infer from its name, this app consists of two armies of stick men waging war on your screen, so the graphics are quite crude by their very nature. Unlike most screensavers, this one does not switch your computer into an alternate view. Instead, the stick men march right across your screen, blasting away your desktop icons with rockets, flamethrowers, and bullets. You can customize what weapons the stick men brandish, choose the number of characters that appear onscreen, and select whether to remove the carnage after a battle or leave signs of the destruction. You'll even find a less-violent mode if the R-rated one is too much for your taste. If you don't mind the unrefined graphics, StickMen Screen Saver won't disappoint.Publisher's Description
From PaintedBus Partners:
Little Stick men fight it out on your screen with a variety of weapons. Unlike other screensavers, StickMen War unleashes the tiny little men on your current screen allowing them to wage war inside open documents and to destroy icons in their path. Weapons include guns, bombs, rockets, and flamethrowers.

"Yes, Very Entertaining"
Version: StickMen War Screensaver 2.5

It's a fun, unusual screensaver with options.
Cons
I wish the men were bigger.
-
"Very Amusing"
Version: StickMen War Screensaver 2.5

Amusing. If you set your clock ahead Before you install, then back to the right date, you gets lots of time to try it out before buying it, of course. ;}
Cons
Needs more weapons? Nothing really...
Summary
Amusing and cheap.

"the funniest thing ever"
Version: StickMen War Screensaver 2.5
Pros

Cons
the way the screen changes colour after the battles, bit naff.

"AWESOME!!!"
Version: StickMen War Screensaver 2.5
Pros
This is one of the most entertaining screensavers i have everseen!It is really simple and just fun to watch. It also has setting to add or remove the stickmen and you can also change from R to G rated violence.
Cons
None except the time limit of use. I just did what Darkside 1994 said. Just set your year to 1997 for 1000 free days or 1986 for more. The time, month, days, leap year etc. will still be normal on your pc, the year will just appear as 1997 or 1986.
Summary
If you do change your year setting , beware that it interferes with microsoft updates. When you use microsoft updates just click on the time panel and return it the current year before initiating updates.
