Team Buddies is a highly over looked PS classic. This game doesn't have massive explosions, or kick'n stunts, but Team Buddies has something else. It has individuality. For todays standards games have to have stat of the art graphics, fast cars, and sexy ladies. Team Buddies came out before this carbon copy craze of recent years, and has something few games today are able to grasp, a good plot line! Think if you will (or can), back to the beginning years of the Playstation. It 1995 the graphics were mediocre, and sound quality was bad. But by at the start of 2000 the Playstation train was chugging at full speed, unlocking the systems full capability even tho the PS2 was due out soon. Team Buddies had some of the best graphics and sound that still even rival some PS2 games. Its delightful graphics and vivid colours should not throw you off guard. Most people are surprised the first time they see their cute little jelly bean man running around the screen and then saying "I'm going ta open a can a whoop-ass on ya" in a bad British accent. Todays game are all about the physical appearance (graphics, colour, sound, screen layouts), but not about the actual game play. With the few exceptions of games like Resident Evil 4, i'm finding it harder and harder to find games that appeal to my interests and I know others who are the same. Team Buddies is a new take on an old concept of game play, this shooter is like nothing you have ever played before. Team Buddies is a basic third person shooter starts you off with a single low-level guy, no weapon, and soon going to be mowed down if he doesn't get his ass in gear. You start next to a 2x2 square pad, this is your stacking pad and near by is what's called the drop zone. The drop zone is where 1x1 square blocks drop mysteriously from the sky until the end of the level. They come in two colours, red (the most basic), and blue (rare,but more powerful). You must stack these blocks or "crates" as they're called in the game on your stacking pad. Depending on the number and position of the blocks will depend on what you get. Usually ONE of the following - uzi, grenades, new Buddie of same or higher rank, bazooka, or a tank. The stacking combos and controls are learned in a series of ( heaven forbid ), FUN that's right FUN tutorials. The rest you can probably figure out on your own. The single player mode has a verity of challenging but fun level, and sports an interesting story line. The multi-player mode provides up to months (and for me, years) of insane and endless combat. Team Buddies is a great game for those who like something different, or just want to shoot things. For about $5.99 in most discount bins, Team Buddies is an awesome way to connect with your PS roots.
