Minesweepers are also good to have on hand, since none of the other troops stands much chance when running blind through a mine field.

A rifleman is always a good bet, while having a grenadier or bazooka guy tag along is useful for blowing up walls or taking out enemy toys. Accomplishing these tasks is generally a simple case of fighting your way through the household maps, but there's plenty to do along the way.īefore battle begins you can choose which toys to take with you. You're put in command of a small regiment of toy soldiers and sent on a variety of different tasks. What else are toy soldiers made for, other than fighting against other toy soldiers? Therefore, the missions are all you need, and other than some top notch dialogue between the gruff plastic commander and his troops the game works just fine without a particular war to fight. There doesn't need to be a particularly strong premise behind Army Men. Mixing up the deadly serious with the sublimely surreal puts you in a great frame of mind for playing games.Īnd it doesn't hurt when the gameplay is outstanding, either. I get a great deal of pleasure from gaming concepts like Army Men: Mobile Ops, where very serious themes (such as war and killing) are mingled with crackpot notions like toy soldiers fighting it out in the bathroom, or around the rim of the toilet.
