Summary

Army Men: Air Attack 2 is a fast and furious game of toy helicopter-based combat set in the Army Men universe. Continuing the classic struggle between the Green and Tan armies, the heroic Captain Blade and his Alpha Wolf Battalion once again take to the skies. The evil General Plastro is using the portals between Army Men’s ‘Their World’ and ‘Our World’ to gather huge supplies of plastic to feed the troop-churning factories that manufacture reinforcements and new weaponry. He’s enlisted the help of the villainous Baron von Beige to defeat Captain Blade and his Air Cavalry, who’ve been sent to put a stop to the General’s evil plans.

Army Men: Air Attack 2 has 26 new missions set in as many as ten unique and diverse environments that include a Japanese Garden, the Wild West, and a flower bed. Seven of these are ‘Our World’ environments, where the figures are two and a half inches tall and interact with oversized objects in enormous settings. Ten of these environments have been specially designed for five multi-player modes that include co-operative and head-to-head play. There are multiple levels of difficulty to enhance the replayability of each mission. The physics have been improved and this is clearly evident in the way that the helicopters, of which there are now five, handle. Each type of helicopter has its own unique attributes with extra capabilities that can be unlocked via the new ‘plastic collection’ system that also unlocks hidden vehicles.

Army Men: Air Attack 2 is surely the most immersive and exciting Army Men experience so far.
