Toy Commander is a must have for the Dreamcast owner who is a child at heart. The game is solid because the developers took the time to polish the basics--graphics, control, collision detection, mission length...What makes the game excellent is the "wow factor" when you first begin playing. I'm not refering to its graphics, which are quite good, but the emotion the game generates as you realize you've got a unique title on your hands. The 3-d environments do a superb job of creating the illusion that you've somehow shrunk to the size of a cockroach and are commanding an army of toy vehicles. Who hasn't imagined experiencing the world from a lillipution standpoint? As a bonus, this world is inhabited with sundry other toys bent on your destruction, who themsevles blow up real good. Fortunately, after the novelty of the environments wear off (and that takes a long time), what you'll be left with is a game that is deep enough so that you'll be happy you purchased it. For me, Soul Calibur, while graphically beautiful, was dissapointing because it was so easy to beat. Beating Toy Commander will take some time -- you'll get your money's worth, and find yourself giggling like a school girl along the way.

Incredibly Addictive and Entertaining

I received a demo of Toy Commander with a copy of the Official Dreamcast Magazine. I had read about the game on a couple Dreamcast sites and thought I might pick it up. After I popped the demo disk into my Dreamcast and checked out the three Toy Commander missions included, I no longer thought I might buy the game--I KNEW I would.

I purchased the game and have since logged a solid three hours playing it. Now, granted, I have only played within two rooms, and not all those missions, but I am already addicted to this game. While Sonic, House of the Dead 2, and Soul Calibur are all great games, Toy Commander beats them all. This game is incredibly fun and entertaining. Whether blowing away submarines with a fighter plane or taking out bombers with a heavy duty combat-vehicle, there is no shortage of gameplay here. The developers truly have managed to recreate the fun of being a little kid and playing with your toys.

There are around 50 missions, I believe, and a boss for each room, whom you can battle if you beat their time on a sufficient amount of the missions. You can take control of 35 different vehicles, as well.

In addition, there is a 2-4 player death match included. But, based on what little I played with it, the deathmatch is just as addictive as the regular game.

There are some issues with the difficulty of some of the missions, but I would say this is minor gripe when you take into account how great the gameplay is.

All in all, this is one of the very best games available for the Dreamcast. I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this game, and it is a potential system-seller. At least, I know it is in one case--my brother was undecided about the Dreamcast but now plans to purchase it in the next couple weeks after he played my Toy Commander demo.

If you have a Dreamcast, get Toy Commander. If you don't have a Dreamcast, buy one then get Toy Commander. Don't miss this game; it is too entertaining.

Excellent game - a must-buy

Tons of different missions with a wide variety of easy-to-control vehicles. Despite the toy theme, little kids might be put off by the difficulty level of some missions without a strategy guide. The level of detail is stunning, though, and my neck hurts from all the straining I'm doing - the spatial 3D effect of the rooms is that real.

There's not much polish to the game (outside of the gameplay, that is), not that it matters while playing. The translation is cheesy, and they could have done a better job with the menus and the mission briefings. You may have to play a level a few times to figure out what to do, and in what order. And unfortunately, they had to resort to "timing" the levels to advance. Overall, though, a very unique and fun, addictive game. Here's hoping for a sequel...

I highly recommend this game!

Simply put, I think that this game is nearly perfect in every way. It brings back many childhood memories. At first some of the missions may seem difficult but once you get a hang of the game you can figure them out. This really is a thinking man's game. It's like chess in that you have to be able to think a few steps ahead in order to be able to complete many of the missions. Yes, it is educational.

I really enjoyed flying the planes and the helicopters. It was fascinating how you can quickly scan the rooms with these. The ending is very satisfying.

This game really sparks your imagination.

Let The Toy Battle Begin!

We all played with toys when we were younger. Well thanks to the Dreamcast, we can all play with toys again and not feel guilty! Only this time it is war! You control planes, helicopters, tanks and other vehicles through missions around the house. Your objective; defeat the Toy Commander! The game begins with training missions to sharpen your skills. You will need it. Then it is off to the missions. The controls take a few tries to get use to them, but are easy to master. The graphics are surpurb! It really looks like you are in a toy world house! The game play is good. I would say excellent, but some of the tasks are pointless or seemingly impossible. But this does not ruin the game. It is still hours of fun! It can also become addicting! All in all, 5 stars is deserved. I recommend this game if you enjoy war like games that don't require you to have a keyboard for help with the controls or want to see blood and guts!

I hope you have a lot of spare time on your hands!

I am a 20-year old collage student so when I first heard about the game Toy Commander I laughed outloud. To my surprise I kept getting positive feedback from my friends so I bought it hoping it would be a dreamcast game that I could really get into...and that is exactly what it did! I have not been able to put the game down! The worlds are so creative and unique. There is a ton of missions to master and playback value will be unbelivable. The game is very hard though but trust me you feel so good after every trophy you win. Buy this game!

An overall great game.

I have many Dreamcast games (Soul Caliber, NFL 2K, Toy Commander, and Power Stone) and this has to be one of the ones I own. It is truly innovative in almost every category. Unlike Sarge's Heros for the N64 this game rocks. The graphic quality is amazing. The amount of playable vehicles makes the game stand out from the crowd. Then there is the mulitplayer game. This format makes the game have infinite replay value. My only problem with the game was that playing it on a normal (30 in. or less) sized tv can make the screens a bit small when playing with 3 or 4 players. Overall this is one of the best Dreamcast games I have played. (and I own/have rented quite a few.) So if your not sure about buying this game, don't worry you won't be dissapointed.

Great Game

I just got this game yesterday and can't stop playing it (I'm eating right now). A lot of people say it is really challenging, but it isn't that hard, only some missions. There is 50 missions in 7 different rooms. I am on my 4th room right now, which is the Parents Bedroom. Im telling you, if you have Dreamcast you have to have this game!!! Buy it!!!

Toys,Toys,and more Toys!

Toy Commander is a very good game. When I do single player and multiplayer, I stock up on the cheats to defeat bosses. Just go to a site with cheats and you'll defeat the game in no time!!!!!!
