Army Men: Air Attack 2 (Army Men: Air Attack - Blade's Revenge in Europe for the PlayStation 2 version and Army Men: Air Combat - The Elite Missions for the GameCube version) is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by The 3DO Company for PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and GameCube.

Gameplay and premise[]

Following the events in Army Men: Air Attack and previous Army Men games, players control a helicopter in the Green Army against the Tan Army, working with character William Blade to defeat their enemies. Players can unlock abilities and weapons by collecting plastic. It features cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. Players are accompanied by co-pilots, each of which has a special secondary weapon unique to them.

Reception[]

Samuel Bass reviewed the PlayStation version of the game for Next Generation, giving it three stars out of five, and stated that "this tiny plastic Apocalypse Now may be short-lived, but it's still one hell of a lot of fun".[22]

Jim Preston reviewed the PlayStation 2 version of the game for Next Generation, rating it three stars out of five: "It's the best-looking Army Men game ever made, and it's actually pretty fun too. We're as surprised as you are".[23]

The game was met with positive to average reception. GameRankings and Metacritic gave it a score of 73% and 74 out of 100 for the PlayStation version,[4][6] and 68% and 75 out of 100 for the PlayStation 2 version.[5][7]
