Overview

Small Soldiers is a sci-fi third-person shooter developed by DreamWorks Interactive and published by Electronic Arts (Company) for the Sony PlayStation in September 1998. Based on the CGI live-action film of the same name, Small Soldiers takes place during a conflict based on the backstories for the in-universe "Commando Elite" and "Gorgonites" action figures, with Commando forces in the middle of a full-scale mechanized invasion of the mystic and peaceful Gorgonite homeworld of Gorgon. Players control the Gorgonite leader Archer (Character) as he rallies his fellow Gorgonites and uses mystical weapons fired from his wrist-mounted crossbow to push back Commando forces. Along with a single-player campaign, the game features a one-on-one multiplayer mode where the second player is Commando leader Major Chip Hazard (Character) (voiced by Tommy Lee Jones). The film also received a handheld Game Boy (Platform) adaptation, developed by Tiertex and published by THQ (Company) on November 1998. Unlike the PS1 version, this one is a 2D side-scrolling platformer that follows the movie's plot of sentient toys, with players playing as Archer.
