Dark-horse Arcade hit of the year

User Rating: 9 | Toy Soldiers X360
When i first saw this game on XBOX live arcade, i kinda scoffed at it. Thinking to myself no way i'll ever try that game. Then one boring night i downloaded it, and as i was playing the demo over and over and over again i couldn't help but think how true 'dont judge a book by it's cover' is and shortly purchased it soon after.

The game is just pure enjoyment. Setting up your defenses, and being able to take control of any unit to help mow down the legions of charging enemies is a blast.

Long and short, it's a tower defense game, you try to keep the enemy from getting soldiers into your 'toy box' (castle) by setting up a variety of different weapons from machine gun nests, to poison gas, to howitzers.

Some levels will feature a Boss fight that typically the first time you fight you think there's no way you can win, but after adjusting your strategy some, you just get the job done enough.

The graphics are great, the controls are great, the camera angles get a little odd at times, but nothing that's not manageable.

I'm not a big protagonist of strategy games, but the way this one is done is just so much fun you can literally play for hours and hours.

One of the best Arcade titles out there.
