Army Men Air Attack PSX

If you mess with the best, you'll melt like the rest in Army Men: Air Attack! So saddle up your toys, soldier, and head for the skies! The GPN reports a plot by the evil Tan Army to seize the Green Army's borders. Colonel Grimm expects your new Alpha Wolf Battalion to stop General Plastro's wicked invasion. Led by Captain William Blade, your mission is to pilot four helicopters (with pyrotechnic artillery) through the backyard, picnic, and beach terrain to stop the Tan in their tracks. Capture giant teddy bears, blow up sandcastles, and save Sarge from a melting by kids with a magnifying glass.

In the third-person perspective Army Men: Air Attack for the PlayStation, you need the help of a co-pilot, so choose carefully from the following: Hardcore, who loves homing rockets; Rawhide, another rocket lover; and Woodstock, your machine gunner. While in the air, you can utilize a Huey, Chinook, Super Stallion, or Apache helicopter. An in-game map will help guide you as you grab power-ups, mission-specific characters, or world objects with the winch cable. Drop an apple, rock, or crate on the enemy to crush them. While you're at it, use machine guns, rockets, napalm, and flares to aid your fellow soldiers in their attack against the Tan's ground and air troops.

Many of the familiar types of characters from the previous Army Men titles are here as well, such as riflemen and flame-throwers for Tan Army infantry, wind-up robots, UFOs, and other ground troops. Along with jeeps, tanks, half-tracks, helicopters, PT boats, and even battleships and butterflies, the Tan will relentlessly continue the onslaught until you take them out. Also, look for killer bees, fire ants, and a dreaded lawn sprinkler. And you'll want to watch for Blue Spies -- mercenaries stealing supplies.
