Game Review: Toy Soldiers

Why are there not that many World War One games? Really, there are like 7 brazilion WW2 games but right now I can't think of any WW1 games. Then comes along Toy soldiers which is not even a WW1 game but a game that features toy based on WW1.

At first Toy Soldiers seems to be just another Tower defence game in a new setting, but the twist is that you can control your units directly at any time, the payoff being that you can be far more effective than the AI at gunning down the enemy but the cost is that while your down there you might miss what's going on in the rest of the battle field only to get that last few second warning that an enemy unit is about to enter you toy box (base)

And even after spending 30+ on a level only to get been by the last wave (usally a boss), you feel that the next time you can do better, and next time you can beat it.

+ Decent looking xbla game
+ Fun and additve
+ good learning curve
+ You can get stuck into the action by taking control of units, with out un balancing the game.

- Long loading screens (30sec +)
- Not so much fun online

4/5
