Product Description

Product Description
Take on the Tan Menace from above this time in Army Men: Air Combat. Similar to previous installments in this series, you're a soldier for the Air Cavalry, following orders in mission-style play against an army of men formed of tan plastic. You'll be called to rescue POWs, extract wounded allies, sabotage enemy plans, and much more. Conveyances in this game--Chinook, Apache, Huey, and Super Stallion helicopters--are each charged with unique weaponry (and because they're only plastic, you'll never have to worry about fuel).

Most of the engagements in Army Men: Air Combat take place on the same disputed territories these forces have clashed over for decades: back yards and beach playgrounds. Because these tiny troops are fighting on such a small scale, their tactics often include household items, such as surface-to-air bottle rockets and cherry-bomb warheads. Even a properly dropped chicken drumstick will attract hostile ants to the Tan stronghold. Fans of the series will enjoy the interaction in this game with characters from Army Men: Sarge's Heroes. You can add a friend for the two-player cooperative mode or make it greens versus tans in the game's four-player simultaneous competitive mode.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good excuse for blowing things up., July 18, 2000

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This is one of the most creative games I have ever played. You can interact with the enviroment unlike any other game. The best part is that unlike all those high tech games you don't have to refill fuel, which makes it a whole lot of fun. The different levels are very creative and the game all together is a hoot. I am a fan of all army men games but this one stands out above the rest. A good feature is the 2 player game mode. I think this is a great game to add to your collection

3.0 out of 5 stars Army Men Air Combat, November 8, 2001

By	Joshua Swanson "[e-mail]" (Lusby, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews

First the bad points! You look over the helicopter (what I would do to see the horizon) and the game is a little diffucult if you play it by yourself especially the last level! The good points are is that you can fly several different helicopters and it is still a classic Army Men game for the Nintendo 64. The music is okay and so are the graphics. You get to rescue Sarge in a few missions too.
