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.

Plot

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

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

Montsec, where the Luftstreitkräfte
has built up a base. It is armed with Fliegertruppen. Their plan is to destroy the base before the Central Powers can build a new headquarters. Snoopy does so easily.

As Snoopy

unobtanium, so they have set up a mine in the Alps. When Lucy is informed of this, she dispatches Snoopy to the Mines of the Matterhorn
where he defeats several fighter planes, a military train and a drilling automation.

As the Allied Forces move into Verdun Gorge, Lucy, Rerun and Franklin are captured, leaving Linus in command. Sending Snoopy to the gorge, the beagle sinks an aircraft carrier. With his plans foiled, Richthofen takes full command of the IGA and sends out a giant airship with the Doodlebug onboard. Snoopy takes off after it. First he disables the engines, frees Lucy, Franklin and Rerun and rescues Charlie Brown from the speeding Doodlebug bomb.

After defeating the Baron and the destruction of the Doodlebug, Snoopy heads back to the aerodrome to celebrate. He awakens from his dream when he heard Charlie Brown calling for him. Snoopy salutes him, leading Charlie Brown to utter "Why can't I have a normal dog like everyone else?"

The PSP version received "generally favorable reviews", while the PlayStation 2 and PC versions received "average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[13][14][15]
