Toy Soldiers Review
The Short Version: Toy Soldiers is a prime example of a highly polished Xbox Live Arcade game. This Tower defense game adds a few new innovations to its formula resulting in an awesome single and multiplayer distraction – that is if your into its niche appeal.

THE GAME IS NOT AT ALL COMPETITVE
I think its a fantastic game in single player. But Joe mixed something up there. He generally said that it was possible to send out your own troops, but this feature (one of the coolest in the game) is restricted only to multiplayer. In Singleplayer you only defend and take on vehicles and your own towers. When you play multiplayer the first guy who gets the biggest artillery version as a turret wins because its the only one with a large enough reach to kill enemy towers whereas all other towers can only kill troops. This allows that guys troops to enter the enemy toybox and score for his team.
Btw. its also hard to adjust the options in a way that your match dosn´t last either for ever or for seconds.
*doesn´t (spelling mistake)
I cant watch the video
i seriously thought joe was setting up for a sex joke when he said he had to go check his toybox
I spent ages looking for this on arcade and I couldn’t find it, then found the sequel Cold War and fell in love with it’s charm and how it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Then found the original today on offer and realised I had no microsoft points. NOOOOOOOO!
7:20- Medic! lmao ahahaha for real though I appreciate the concept and the nostalgia it brings about
While the tanks are slow that is mostly because the tanks of that era couldn’t move very fast in fact the fastest speed for one type of tank was either 5 or 10 mph. So personally for me (as a history buff) that was a plus on historical accuracy.
5 miles per hour was optimistic 10 was fantasy. great game and great review.
I for 1 wazn’t a fan of tower defence games until this came out. I also must say that toy soldiers cold war(just released today) is a massive improvment from the 1st. one. The mini games are to die for and i recomend checking it out!!!!!!!!!
I normally can’t stand tower defense but this looks great not as restrictive the others I’ve played
I normally hate tower defense but this looks good I’ll try it once I get xbox live.
Thank you for putting this up, it was very informative and told a lot
I normally don’t respond lying on web-sites nevertheless you have a little first-rate comprehensible post.
LOL!Funny dancing alert for the world war one music vid i think.Oh well that was super funny.
wait they got jonny!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
awesome post. I have discovered for myself just how flexible WP is, as a hosting platform for your website. you literally have everything you need to publish a website at your fingertips, through WordPress. thanks.
Pretty wonderful information, I liked reading it. It had several fantastic information and facts. I will be bookmarking this website.
wow , i can’t wait for this gameman i just can’t wait for this game
also while playing it on my buds 360 took out the Csar tank by slaming a plane into it. and i got it…. ON THE FIRST TRY! i have not beat it since, so HA! but i feel your pain. i love the WWI motif too! heck, anything from 1900 to 1950 that’s military or toy trooper (sounds more bad ass) related i have sought after.
when i log on to Xbox arcade, this game will be the only one i feel is worth my money.
They got Johnny! NOOO!
Guys, I have been playing this game for a while now. It is really good. Go play it, its really fun!
I realy hope this game comes out on PC 2 (not to be confused with PS2 what i meant was PC to) cuz it seems realy fun and i would go buy/download it as soon as i can for the pc
When you were describing the game it kinda sounded to me a bit like WMW (Wintermaul Wars), a custom game on Warcraft 3 where you basically play a TD game with 3 other people on the opposite team. Its really fun and the main game itself is my favorite RTS game.
This game looks really cool. I just like the fact that it’s a WWI game. Finally there is a good WWI game.
good review i like games like that i mite get it how many mp is it?
Yeah , only one question, whats the name of the song or the band in the end of your videos. You know when you are like “GO!!” and Im like kick ass! So whats the name?
Callenish Circle – Suffer My Disbelief
Dude.. you HAVE to record more when you play with the toys! It’s so hilarius! Spoony is also damn funny when it comes to play with toys! Would be cool if you make some more short film or something haha. Anyways, AWESOME review as allways joe.
Oh yea… I would LOVE if you could review Dead Space 2 when it comes out! Dead Space 1 is one of my favourite game. Tho it lacks of multiplayer.
really cool,im thirteen and I can say to anyones face,playing with your army men is one of the coolest things ever,I have a fraking tub of army men from when I would actually collect them,and I recently got into the mechwarrior/battletech board games now too,even though the rules are as long as crap…
I must say that it’s impressive for a little game like this to be as developed as you’ve pointed out, Joe. And I really wish that more strategy games would take the approach of being able to take control of one of your units for the fight. It would change the dynamic of rts games as a whole and take a whole lot of doing, but this is a great start.
then check out rise and fall civilizations at war
Well the shitty men of war did that but they screwed it up….Hey someone remake army men rts,include jeeps,and allow you to take control of you’r soldiers tanks etc etc and allow you to build trenchs
nooo not johnny
Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun. I might try this one out at some point. I think it’s hilarious that they use a Tsar tank as a boss since the first prototype of that tank was a complete failure and would get stuck in mud and become useless. Also, loved the ending…lol
Yessss!
Memoir ’44 FTW.
hehehe duty
LOL at the end.
Whilst i agree with ya jo on the planes and tank blowing up for nothing.But to be honest WWI tanks were slow as hell so it adds to the realism,Thanks in WWI were used originally to grind up barbed wire and treches. I love the bosses because there models off real things
although they are a pain
I love this game, and I guess have the love comes from my love of history particularity military and WWI. I’m not a huge fan of tower defense but the WWI setting pulled me in a I do not regret it.
lol you are the best
