Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is a flight combat game released on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PC in 2006.[1] 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, 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.
