3DO announces Air Combat: Elite Missions for GC

3DO has announced that Army Men: Air Combat "The Elite Missions" is currently in development for the GameCube. Players will take on the role of Captain Blade, commander of the Alpha Wolf Squadron of the Green Army. The game will feature five different helicopters for players to select from, as well as five multiplayer modes and 20 missions spanning several different locations. The helicopters will have a relatively realistic physics system that will take into account wind and added weight (when the helicopter is towing an object).

Army Men: Air Combat "The Elite Missions" is scheduled for release at the end of the year.
