Toy Commander
Great Games You, Probably, Never Played
Toy Commander was sadly a casualty of the short life of the Sega Dreamcast. It was only released on Sega’s ill-fated final home console in the U.S. and thus, wasn’t played by many over here. It’s a shame because it’s actually one of the more unique action games I’ve ever played.
Toy Commander tells the story of a young boy that literally goes to war with his older toys after he receives new army toys. The campaign plays out over a string of challenges where you’ll need to use various toys to figure out solutions to challenges presented by the toys, culminating in all-out boss battles.
It can be anything ranging from tank warfare to infiltration missions, or fire rescues. The battlefield is always various areas around the house and, from the perspective of toys, areas such as the stairs or the kitchen are made to feel massive.
It had a very enjoyable split-screen multiplayer too, where you could go wherever you want and explore all the nooks and crannies of the house such as closets, sink drain pipes, and other fun to explore places.
It’s hard to describe because it really isn’t like many other games and features challenges you wouldn’t expect. This long play of Toy Commander from Longplay Land above can give you a good feel for what we’re talking about.
