Take to the plastic skies in Army Men Air Attack, a 1999 helicopter action shooter for the PlayStation. Developed by 3DO, this entry in the Army Men franchise shifts the perspective from the ground to the air, putting you in the cockpit of various Green Army choppers to fight against the Tan Army menace. Featuring 3D environments that range from realistic backyards and living rooms to rugged outdoor terrain, the game combines fast-paced aerial combat with strategic objective-based missions reminiscent of the classic Strike series.
How to Play
Your objective is to complete mission-specific tasks, which usually involve destroying Tan Army units, protecting Green forces, and rescuing captured allies. Use the D-pad or analog stick to maneuver your helicopter. The main buttons fire your primary machine gun and secondary heavy weapons like rockets or missiles. You will also use your chopper’s winch to pick up critical items, power-ups, and co-pilots who grant unique abilities.
Tips
- Use the Winch Wisely: The winch is not just for objectives; you can pick up environmental objects and drop them on enemies to conserve ammunition.
- Manage Secondary Ammo: Your machine gun has unlimited ammo, but rockets and homing missiles do not. Save your heavy ordnance for tough targets like Tan tanks and anti-aircraft turrets.
- Choose the Right Co-Pilot: Different co-pilots offer different perks, such as better targeting or improved weapon damage. Pick the one that best suits the upcoming mission’s objectives.
