Aug 22, 201180If you grew up in the 80s, playing with G.I. Joes, watching movies like Red Dawn and whistling the Top Gun theme, this is a fun trip back to your childhood. It's not as innovative as the first Toy Soldiers, but we can't think of a better way to end this season's Summer of Arcade.
-
Aug 15, 201185While it may be lacking in raw content for some players, it more than makes up for it with layers of cooperative and competitive elements that make it one of the best strategy games on Xbox Live Arcade.
-
Aug 15, 201170Stuck awkwardly between action game and top-down strategy, Cold War is an affectionate and exhilarating blast in the short term - but much like the cheap action figures it pay loving homage to, it can't survive more than a few days of intense play.
-
Nov 17, 201180Swooping through a virtual boy's room in a miniature jet while fighting a huge submarine is where this game topped for us. Rock solid and inexpensive entertainment for your Xbox 360.
-
Sep 21, 201192It's fun, looks and sounds great, has loads of content, and integrates very well with your friends lists and the leaderboard system...It is, in a word, awesome.
-
Sep 8, 201187If you're looking for a competitive tower defence/strategy hybrid game, Toy Soldiers: Cold War is tough to put down.
-
Sep 6, 201175Cold War is a very challenging game with a nice atmosphere. The mini-games and the co-op add extra length but it would have been nicer to see a second campaign like in the first game. There's not as much improvement as we would have liked, but just enough additions have been made to make Cold War a respectable followup game.
-
Sep 4, 201185This game is a vast improvement over the previous one, and is probably the best tower-defence game out there. It doesn't have much replay value, apart from the multiplayer, but it is a game I definitely recommend as an action or tower-defence game.
-
Sep 3, 201186Toy Soldiers: Cold War will be the most fun you've had with your army men in years.
-
Sep 1, 201180It's a fun experience while it lasts, even if that might not be as long as you'd like. Still, this is a marked improvement, and even as a kind of iteration, is a reminder of Signal Studios' potential.
-
Aug 30, 201180The game hits on a lot of levels; it's challenging, full of charm, and genuinely fun. I just wish it wasn't over quite so soon.
-
Aug 30, 201150Toy Soldiers: Cold War feels just a tad bit hollow to me as a game.
-
Aug 30, 201185Toy Soldiers: Cold War is a good conclusion of this years Summer of Arcade. The game play elements not only tieing well into each other but also being great fun by themselves is key to this. Whoever enjoyed the single player experience will volunteer for the Toy Soldiers army in the brilliant coop-mode.

Aug 24, 201180These tiny war heroes have captured our hearts, interrogated them and found out that we love them.
-
Aug 23, 201191I'm a history nerd splitting hairs about a game featuring toys blowing each other up at this point. Regardless, the two games together represent the best that the tower defense genre has to offer. I'm very interested to see where Signal takes this franchise next…as long as it's not World War II.
-
Aug 23, 201170TS:CW provides plenty of semi-mindless macho thrills, but, like a one-hit wonder, if you ever tire of the main hook it'll all fall down. Much like ... well, toy soldiers.
-
Aug 22, 201185Signal Studios took what was already a great game and made it even better, and that's no easy thing.
-
Aug 18, 201188The presentation is inspired, and the gameplay maintains a careful balance of strategic thinking and crazy action.
-
Aug 18, 201190Toy Soldiers: Cold War is without doubt one of the best games you can purchase on XBL and is a truly great sequel to what was a fantastic game
-
Aug 18, 201186Of all five Xbox LIVE Arcade games that were released for the Summer of Arcade promotion, if you could only get one of them, this is it. It's the most fun, offers the most value, and it's great to play with and against friends.
-
Aug 18, 201190Incredibly fun. The best tower defense game on Xbox Live.
-
Aug 18, 201190Toy Soldiers Cold War is a fantastic title.
-
Aug 18, 201182Toy Soldiers marshals no small amount of personality and polish, and the thoughtful and detailed presentation never misses its mark as it lampoons and celebrates its goofy what-if 80's scenario.
-
Aug 17, 201183Whether you loved the first game or you're looking for something new, Cold War is a great place to jump in to experience one of the best tower defense variations on the market.
-
Aug 17, 201180The sheer bulk of things to do in Cold War does a good job of offsetting a core campaign that's merely pretty decent, and the overall presentation of the package, wailing guitar solos and all, make it a game that tower defense fans ought to feel good about playing.
-
Aug 17, 201190An excellently crafted game that goes above and beyond all expectations for an indie downloadable title. The action feels tight, it's bursting with content, the graphics and sound are impressive.
-
Aug 16, 2011100If you buy just one tower defense game this year, well, knock yourself out. But if you want a really good action game with some tower defense, some great scoring challenges, some wonderful multiplayer support, some great graphics, and a wonderful sense of humor, you can't go wrong with Toy Soldiers: Cold War.
-
Aug 16, 201184If you were even a little bit entertained by the first game, you will absolutely love Cold War. It has the gameplay you loved, but now with enhanced multiplayer and lots of extra modes, it really does add to the original and is well worth the 1200msp asking price.
-
Aug 16, 201170Even though Toy Soldiers: Cold War has a few new features, it doesn't seem to have quite the depth of the original.
