Integrating multiple game genres and world-class visuals, Toy Soldiers is a unique and action-packed entertainment experience. [Xbox.com] Expand

  1. I always appreciate it when a game that touches on some cultural commentary, whether it's obvious or not. And given how entertaining it is to "play war" in the setting provided here (and believe me, it is) is proof that sometimes violence isn't as much about what is shown-in a game as much as anything else-but what isn't.
  2. Despite a few minor complaints, Toy Soldiers is a tower defense game well worth checking out, on Xbox LIVE Arcade right now.
  3. This beautifully presented WWI-themed tower defense game will have you coming back again and again.
  4. But casual strategy fans will enjoy dispatching waves of cavalry, artillery, and airplanes in head-to-head online multiplayer matches. Just be prepared to take a few beatings while you find your footing.

  1. who could actually say no to this game because they are literally like your own toys :) but I wished they made it some of it a tiny bit easier. why not have a game of it, it will make you happy Expand
  2. i can't stop playing it! it's so awesome and i have to get the add-ons. everyone with an xbox has to at least get the trial.
  3. Intuitive , a different strategy game based on placing the artillery, soldiers etc . For instance it may sound hard, when I say that hordes of Nazis or whatever aren't stopping in an specific place, they don't do that, they come directly to you , so you need to stop them before they sabotage or enter your Toy Box. Heck, there's a Cold War game right now. Expand

    This game is a blast for the short amount of time that it lasts. The single player campaign is fun with the introduction of new weapons/upgrades/vehicles coming steady. Gets repetitive in the last few missions. The graphics are amazing for an arcade game, being able to control a single unit is fun for the first few levels but near the end you have to just control a tank or plane and let your defense do everything if you want to win which was disappointing. Fun it you want a few hours of entertainment. I can't see myself playing through it again. Collapse
