The PlayStation version of Small Soldiers stands out as a dedicated 3D third-person action-adventure title, distinct from the strategy-based PC and 2D handheld iterations. Eschewing the film's suburban setting, this version transports players to the lush, alien landscapes of Gorgon. Controlling the noble Archer, players must repel the brutal Commando Elite across expansive levels filled with platforming challenges and intense combat. A standout feature is the inclusion of a robust two-player split-screen frag mode, offering a precursor to modern console shooters. With voice talent reprising their roles from the movie and a creative expansion of the franchise's mythology, it remains a high-water mark for 1990s licensed games. Collectors prize this title for its impressive DreamWorks Interactive production values and its unique status as a non-canonical sequel to the cinematic experience, making it a must-play for fans of retro action shooters.
