    The interactivity and flow of the game make it so much more fun to play than you typical defense game that even non fans will find something to like here.

    There’s a lot to enjoy here in a well-rounded package, with plenty of replay value thanks to the range of different heroes, collectibles and high-scores to aim for, as well as the online and offline multiplayer options.

    A refreshingly simple 3D tower defense game. It blends the strategy of building and upgrading your units with action-packed third-person shooting, and the result is unadulterated mayhem with a lot of visual charm.

    While War Chest could've used better matchmaking with player match-ups and a little more variety with battle missions, it's still a fun trip through kiddie nostalgia, especially if you double down on the Hall of Fame Edition and pit G.I. Joe against He-Man. I mean, who doesn't want to see that battle happen?!

    I really loved battling through the various maps and tackling a pretty difficult campaign. On top of that, there are more than a few ways to replay it and one mode designed to have you checking in every day, which is something that isn’t outside of the realm of possibility given how much I liked it.

    Even without multiplayer, though, there’s a good 20-plus hours of action packed into this fun little childhood throwback – more than enough to keep strategy fans occupied until the end of the summer.

I bought the retail version of this game for my kids and I to enjoy splitscreen. The only person who can use all the characters is the one using my profile, the rest can only use half the characters, and in my mind, half the game. The licensed characters can only be used by one person at a time. We have enjoyed the game and find it a family friendly bit of third person shooter and light strategy. I enjoy games with my family members, in the same room, and will do so until gaming becomes a strictly online affair. I went to Ubisoft's website and read that the last four armies on the disk are tied to one profile and cannot be shared. WHO DO THEY THINK THE TARGET AUDIENCE IS FOR THIS? So if you are purchasing for the same purpose as I was, be warned hat neither sub accounts, or logging in as guest will make the characters playable.… Full Review »

This is a fun game, it brings back the fun from cold war, but if you buy the "hall of fame edition" (aka complete game) don't expect to play it entirely with your family or friends in the same room, because only the account that redeemed the dlc code or bought it from psn will be able to access all the armies, even if you play offline, in splitscreen.… Full Review »
