![]() Being the rotten bad guys they are, the tan army has performed experiments on some of the insects transforming them into unruly mutants. ![]() For instance, flowers attract bees so if you use your helicopter winch to move a daisy next to an enemy camp, the bees are sure to follow. You have the option of either destroying them outright or using them to give the tan army a rough time. You'll also have the additional problem of insects that must be dealt with. You take control of the green forces (the good guys) who must once again answer the threat of the tan army. These tasks range from your standard search and destroy sorties to more convoluted goals like air lifting apples and playing bodyguard to supply trains. Reminiscent of Electronic Arts' Strike series, Air Attack has you taking control of one of four helicopters while carrying out your mission objectives. The only thing that saved it for me is that the two-player mode is a co-op game.a welcome feature these days.Īrmy Men 3D was great for those fans of infantry action, but what about sky combat? You know, death from above and all that? That's where Army Men: Air Attack comes in. My big problem with the gameplay though is that it starts off great and gets real tough, real quick. Some of the missions are very cleverly thought out, and I particularly liked the interaction between the soldiers and the insects of the real world later on in the game. As with the other AM games the scenario takes you between the Army Men world and the 'real' world.and like all of the others it's the 'real' stuff that holds the appeal here. You fly one of several helicopters on missions that involve shooting stuff, escorting things, blowing things up and saving people. At its heart Air Attack is a shameless rip-off of the wildly popular and sorely missed EA 'Strike' series.only it's been dummied down and buried beneath the Army Men 'plot'. ![]() Especially when his obnoxious buddies are taking the piss out of my accent like they do in this game. I don't want to relate to a badly voice-acted piece of plastic, thank you. I know 3DO is trying to build a franchise.but the whole Army Men thing just isn't appealing enough. They must just be releasing Army Men games too close together or something, because frankly I'm sick of Sarge, Captain and Colonel Grimm and all of the faux-WWII bollocks that go along with them.
