Description
     Toy Soliders Take to the Skies

     Pilot one of four helicopters through the treacherous terrain of the backyard, picnic areas, and nearby beaches. Engage in Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground combat with enemies ranging from battleships to butterflies. Utilize the unique abilities of each airship to capture giant teddy bears, blow up sand castles, and save Sarge from being melted by kids with a magnifying glass. Real combat. Plastic Men.

Review
    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and they're probably right. 3DO's most likeable Army Men game is a direct re-vision of Electronic Arts' Strike series, Trip Hawkin's old stomping ground. Right down to the winching of items.
     That tidbit aside, the game is really fun, and there was a lot of creativity put into this release not seen in other Army Men games. A worthy title to own in your collection.

 

Trivia
  • 3 varieties: Greatest Hits, Collector's Edition, and Regular.
    • Regular = SLUS - 00913 / PSRM - 014650
    • Greatest Hits = SLUS - 00913GH / PSRM - 014651
    • Collector's Ed. = SLUS - 00913CE / PSRM - 014654


  • Considered by some to the the high point of the entire Army Men series.


  • One of the Co-pilots bears a striking resemblance to G.I. Joe's Wild Bill.
