However, it was too easy to use special weapons on your own troops. The control is typical RTS fare, you click on a unit, click where you want him to move etc. Hearing the soldiers talk when you click on them or they die seems cool at first, until you notice 5 minutes later that it's the SAME THING EVERY TIME. In this game, it is more annoying then anything else. Sound is very important in any type of game. Everything is quite colorful, and all the objects are rather large (once again, for the smaller players). Everything is pre-rendered in 3d accept for the characters, which appear to be typical sprites. such as needing to comendeer batteries to keep the toys running, perhaps needing to build toy factories to increase your army size.įor a non 3d accelerated game, the graphics are good. Also, SOME resource management would have been simple enough. While I suppose these features might have been considered too difficult for children to handle, I think the average 8 year old could handle moving around more troops. Another example is the lack of any real resource management. Later you gain control of more, but it still leaves you with very small armies. You start off with only being able to use 3 characters at any one time. Some things I did not like about this game were limitations that were put in for the "younger players", such as the low (and I mean LOW) maximum of characters you can control at any one time. You start off in a child's bedroom and fight your way throughout the city, rescuing comrades along the way. The goal of the game, of course, is to conquer the enemy. They are not the quality level of the movie of course, but they are quite decent. As the intro, each mission is usually proceeded by a small video clip featuring the characters animated via computer. This games is basically a no frills real time strategy game, and Small Soldiers is geared towards the under 12 crowd.Īs per typical RTS games, you can choose which side you choose to fight on, in this case the Gorgonites or the Commando Elite. Red Alert Junior Addition? Not quite, but that is the general premise of Dreamworks Interactive's Small Soldiers game, Small Soldiers: Squad Commander.
