    I always appreciate it when a game that touches on some cultural commentary, whether it's obvious or not. And given how entertaining it is to "play war" in the setting provided here (and believe me, it is) is proof that sometimes violence isn't as much about what is shown-in a game as much as anything else-but what isn't.

    This XBLA game signals a shift into something more hardcore video gamers could get behind: an action game that requires an itchy trigger finger to complement an itchy brain. With some exciting shooter action, solid strategy gameplay and a uniquely satisfying art style for the overall presentation, Toy Soldiers is proof of what XBLA was meant to do: bring us casual games in a hardcore games package.

    The breadth and depth of this title is outstanding. To have it offered as a 1200 point Xbox Live Arcade title is stellar.

    Toy Soldiers is a great entry in the 'Tower Defense' genre.

    Toy Soldiers is a nice introduction to the Block Party, and a game that should entice fans of the genre. If you are worn out on tower defense this game will certainly not pull you back in, but for those still digging it, this is one of the best on the service.

    The strategy is in depth, the shooting is solid, and the combined blend of the two is executed with charm and finesse.

    A wonderful Tower Defense concept in a disappointing package. There's a lot of strategic potential here, but the levels often end when you are getting the grip on things.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an amazing game. I cannot forget about this game, all the hours I spent destroying my brother in split screen, the many times I tried to destroy the tsar tank before destroying my toy box in campaign. Such a good game. I recommend to everyone who can get their hands on this game. Enjoy your hours playing this game!… Expand

The single player campaign is fun with the introduction of new weapons/upgrades/vehicles coming steady. Gets repetitive in the last few missions. The graphics are amazing for an arcade game, being able to control a single unit is fun for the first few levels but near the end you have to just control a tank or plane and let your defense do everything if you want to win which was disappointing. Fun it you want a few hours of entertainment. I can't see myself playing through it again.… Expand
