Was never into RTS games but loved this one as a kid, very cool game.
Includes the hardest level of any game ever made, level 9. If there is anyone on the planet who has completed this level without the plastic and power cheat codes, they are a god among men.
I played this game in the late 2000s and it's still as good as I remember, I played it at my cousin's house and I remember getting addicted to it, this is one of the RTS I used to play back then, the gameplay was simple but cool, the campaign was very memorable and the voice lines were iconic for me (Rolling!). It all looks like how I used to imagine the battles in my head when I was a little kid playing with Army men toys, I honestly wish they remastered this game.
The nanosecond this dropped on Steam I bought it. I remember playing this game over and over again back on GameCube with its plethora of cheats. It's not perfect, but for an RTS game on console that lets you play as toys, it's damn fine.
Besides the realistic-looking guns, which I always felt clashed with the toy aesthetic, this is one of the best games in this franchise.
I think this game did the console RTS about as well as it could be done. As a kid that loved RTS, but didn't have a pc growing up, this game was amazing.
