Great Helicopter Action!!!

This game is fun! Air Attack 2 is kind of like "Toy Story" where you pilot a toy helicopter in a "Toy Story" like world. There are missions where trees appear to be small in the Army men world, and then there are levels where the trees are big like in Toy Story.

Army Men Air Attack 2 is about you and your helicopter. If you liked shows/movies like Airwolf, Blue Thunder, etc., or other helicopter games like "Soviet Strike" for the PSX, then you'll be in for a treat as it seems no one other helicopter game appears available on the PS2.

One of the coolest things of the game appears to be the ability to pick up objects in the game with your helicopter's "winch" and fling them at enemy units. You can pick up objects (like a dog bowl, frisbee, baseball, etc.) and throw them at enemy units (thereby saving precious helicopter ammunition).

The gameplay appears varied, too. Air Attack 2 doesn't appear to be just about blowing stuff up. Granted, in some missions, you have to destroy factories and enemy bases, but in others, there are "defend your home bases" type missions, protect your units from waves of enemy attacks missions, rescue copilots/prisoners of war, steal weapons/helicopters, and even getting toys from one level to use them as weapons of on subsequent levels (like a Mr. Potato Head, a toy bulldozer, etc.).

One of the early levels also incorporates flipping switches in a room to open up other areas of the level, so there appears to be puzzle and strategy elements within the game as well.

Another cool feature of the game is that it incorporates in-game real-time video windows that display your copilots and army men commander. The videos give mission objectives and hints about how to beat the level and Tan enemies. I can't tell you how frustrating it sometimes is when you play a game, several "voice overs" play, and you ignore them because the voice overs get lost in the explosions and/or "heat of the moment" of trying to fly around. When the in-game videos play in Air Attack 2, you can't help but be drawn to the helpful video messages from your copilots and commander appear! Every level that I've played so far appears to be populated with these helpful in-game videos.

The music in the game also is great! Rather than play some generic music, some levels appear to have music specifically tailored to those types of "themes". There's a western level that plays western type music and even a Japanese garden level that has Asian type music. It's this level of detail that really enhances the gameplay experience!

There are also multiplayer modes in the game with different styles of gameplay. There's a Co-operative mode where you can beat the missions with a friend, and another set of multiplayer modes that offer mini-games. There's "Bug Hunt" where you have to kill insects, "Food Fight" where you have to collect food for points, "Flag Nab It" which is like capture the flag, and "Aerial Assault" where you dogfight against your opponent.

I think this game is pretty good, and I think you'll have fun playing it.

This is definitely worth picking up!

This is one of the best Army Men games to date. The graphics looks really great, and the game controls are right on. The best part is, this is the only PS2 game that has COOPERATIVE mode! It's great being able to beat your friends in the versus mode, but being able to play cooperatively is awesome. This one is a must buy for anyone who is looking for a fun pick-up and go shooter game.

I hope you don't have to go anywhere when you start...

My brother and I (both of us in our 30's) rented this game one Saturday morning and couldn't stop till it was long past dinner time! What a blast! The cinemas in between missions are entertaining, the music isn't monotonous, and the game play was obviously very addictive. This game is just as much fun as a single player as it is w/ a partner- even my 5 year old enjoyed winching up all the goodies and launching them into the Tan bases and tanks. Having the added feature of choosing co-pilots with special expertises/ammunition really expanded the gameplay. This is a lot of fun- I will definately purchase it in the near future.

Best Army Man Game Yet

I have played many f the amry men games from the beginig and Air Attack 2 is the best. If you have a PS2 get it for that but if not The PS one is good. Controls are good and the missionsare easy then get harder. The story is easy to follow but still good. The only thing is that the Helicopters that you work so hard to get arent that good and/or realistic. The Osprey shoos unguided bullets and dont do much damage. The Apache wast its 20 bullets fast and the Chinnok ...[is just bad]. The king Cobra is the best. If you get one army man game get this one.

have it,beat it,love it

In Armored Core 2 ,the newest addition to the Armored Core series, you go head-to-head in relentless battles using an endless combination of parts.

For the Corporations, soldiers were nothing but expendable tools in the battlefields, and were held in low regard by society. However, the members of the Ravens, though they were soldiers as well, were guaranteed freedom and independence.

They were admired and respected by all other soldiers. For those who fled the Earths extremely poor underground cities and were barely surviving as soldiers, becoming a Raven represented the highest status and admiration they could acquire.

And so a new soldier aspires to become a member of the famed Ravens. Think you are good enough? Time to find out.

This game was not only horrible, but it was too easy. I beat the game in less than two hours, and never played it again. I do not intend on buying any other Army Men games anytime soon. It was a complete waste of money, and I hope I can stop you from buying it.

You to can conquer this game in 2 hours.

Well where should I start with this game. I have to admit that I was very curious about this game since I have never played an Army Men game before. I thought to myself if everyone is buying this game then the game could not be bad at all. Well thanks a lot everyone for stearing me down the wrong path. To start out with, the graphics reminded me of the old Chip and Dale Chipmunk Rescuers game for the original Nintendo. This game dones not even come close to taking full advantage of the PS2's power. But you know, I could put that difference aside if the game turned out to be a challenge. Well, it took me about 2 and a half hours to finish the whole game which i guess for my own sake was good since it actually bored me so much that I went back to studying. The only good thing I can say about the game is very easy to learn how play and the short movie segments are somewhat funny. It is games like these that I wish to myself that I didn't sell my old Nintendo.
