2nd Description:
Join Blade and copilots Woodstock, Hooligan, Hardcore and Bombshell, plus Sarge and Vikki, as the Alpha Wolf Squadron once again takes to the skies with an onslaught of new missions, enhanced helicopters, and more kickin' pyrotechnic weaponry than ever before!

In this Army Men Air Attack sequel, Plastro, the nefarious leader of the Tan Army, has enlisted Tan Air Ace Baron Von Beige to trap Captain William Blade . .

Blade represents a threat to the invasion forces of the Tan Army -- such a great threat that no less than General Plastro and Baron Von Beige, the evil geniuses behind the Tan war effort, scheme to bring him down.

A plan is hatched. It targets Woodstock, flying a solo recon mission in his Huey. An ambush, a shredded tail rotor, a crash landing behind enemy lines. The hook is baited.

Blade mounts a rescue mission. Damn the risks, he must get his man back. At all costs.

The costs are heavy. Hardcore, Bombshell and Hooligan are lost, missing in action. Blade returns alone -- to face not cheers and praise, but a court martial!

Crouched in his cell, Blade mourns his lost comrades and wonders if he\'s finally reached the end of his rope. Rope, that\'s funny. His career over, with his whole world crashed down around him.

 Game Reviews

Amazon.com Review
One of the first Army Men games to appear on the PlayStation2 console is a sequel perhaps the best game of the franchise. Army Men: Air Attack 2 blows onto the scene in a blaze of glory, destined for a hallowed spot on your shelf.

Yeah, the little green and tan soldiers from our youth are back, but good old Sarge, the lead character in most of the games, doesn't lead them. In Army Men: Air Attack 2 it's Blade the helicopter pilot large and in charge. His personality is reminiscent of Robert Duvall's deranged Colonel Kilgore from Apocalypse Now, and that adds quite a bit of humor to the destruction... and there is a lot of destruction. Things blow up really well on the PS2, and Air Attack 2 has you piloting all kinds of choppers on all sorts of missions.

You've got an Apache, a Cobra, and an Osprey, and Blade's wingmen all have different attacks. Missions range from melting evil Tan army men and destroying their supplies to search and rescue work--all in pleasing and well-constructed living room and backyard environments. The graphics and audio are excellent and really take advantage of the PS2's advanced hardware. Plus, it's even more fun with a buddy in split-screen mode on the same TV.

And for the benefit of those of us who used to stage harrowing scenarios involving real green plastic army men and fireworks, the makers have included a small selection of fireworks into the gameplay. To quote General Plastro, "I love the smell of plastic in the morning!" --Andrew S. Bub

Pros:
Great action
Excellent graphics

Cons:
A little too easy for veteran gamers
