This game based on the movie of the same name, it does not follow the story of the movie, instead focusing on the struggle of the Gorgonites to defend their homeland of Gorgon from the invading Commandos. This game is unrelated to the Game Boy and PC release of the same name.

Despite it having an impressive score that we didn't deserve. It's loose controls are difficult to commandeer, and its limited draw distance and chaotic aiming can pose some unwarranted difficulty to the game. However, its still charming and was a bold move for a movie tie-in game that I still had fun with.
Pretty weird game, a little obscure perhaps.
This game was inspired by a movie by the same name released on 1998, it is a third-person shooter with some platformer elements thrown into the mix,
The game borrows some elements from Arena shooters somewhat ported into a console game with tanky controls, you can pick up items from the map and uncover secrets or find secret enemy encounters, you have many different type of weapons that you will be discovering through the singleplayer mode's campaign, shooting at enemies feels fun but the downside is that the mobility is terrible and it didn't age quite well.
It is a decent game don't get me wrong, the campaign was okay and PvP was okay too, you might enjoy it on splitscreen.

I think it was kind of ambitious of them to create a game based on such a lackluster movie. The movie itself is cheesy but it's a fun watch, especially with friends. The film revolves around a line of futuristic "Cowboys Vs Indians" toys gaining sentience with the help of artificial intelligence. The violent, militaristic Commandos will stop at nothing to wipe out the nature-loving, pacifist Gorgonites simply because they were programmed to do so. I actually had the game and played it as a child long before I ever saw the movie. In fact for a long time, I thought the movie was based on the game.
In terms of the concept, I think they took it in the best possible direction you could take a movie tie-in like this. Rather than having the movie context of being a toy in 90's suburbia blowing up other toys, you play as the actual characters the toys are based on in their homeland. Gorgon is being invaded by the Commandos and you play as Archer, the Gorgonite leader, to drive them out. As you progress, you begin encroaching on the Commandos' heavily-armed outposts. If anything, this game feels like it could be a product that existed in the universe of the movie; it's kind of cool in a way.
As for the actual game itself, it's okay. The combat is pretty standard and the controls are very stiff. This game uses tank controls and while many people discuss if/when tank controls are appropriate in shooters, it just doesn't service this game well, in my opinion. On top of that, I feel this game doesn't use some of the basic concepts a shooter-platformer should have. You really don't have any dodging moves and there's barely any cover to hide behind. This becomes a problem late game, since the game will just start spamming enemies at you in wide, open areas. You can summon helpers sometimes, but most of the time, you're just one guy with a dinky gun and tank controls while the Commandos run circles around you with their automatic assault weapons. Eventually you realize there's hardly anything stopping you from progressing, so you just start running past enemies rather than fighting them. If combat is the main focus of your game, I feel running away shouldn't be the optimal solution. I think this game could've been much cooler if it released in like the early 2000's.

*Completado en PlayStation
-Año: 1998
-Desarrollador: DreamWorks Interactive
-Jefe de proyecto: Parker A. Davis (ha trabajado en el diseño de juegos como RoboCop VS The Terminator, El Libro de Selva o The Lost World: Jurasic Park)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Un acción aventuras de disparos en tercera persona con un toque plataformero. Divertido y variado, pues no solo tendremos que disparar y eliminar enemigos, también superar saltos, explorar para hallar llaves repartidas por los niveles y encontrar las puertas que abren para seguir avanzando y, en ocasiones, podremos incluso conducir vehículos bípedos armados o disparar cañones. Puede tener una acción tan frenética como el Doom y saltos como el Mario64, todo dentro del universo Pequeños Guerreros, que para quien nos gusta, es muy satisfactorio invocar compañeros como Ócula o matar a los Comandos. Visualmente cumple, con una ambientación oscura.
No es un videojuego muy largo. La primera vez calculo que puede ser completado en unas 12 o 15 horas como mucho. Aunque añade un modo competitivo para dos jugadores en pantalla dividida en la que se puede echar algunas horas mas muy entretenidas. La música es inolvidable, de la mano del gran Michael Giacchino, muy épica, de lo mejor.
El argumento solo sirve de contexto y no hace falta mas para disfrutar de este juego. El Comando invade Gorgon y hay que expulsarlo. Fin. Y es suficiente.
Conclusión: Un videojuego muy entretenido y que recomiendo.
