I was looking thru my pile of shame and came across Toy Commander, I think I bought it at Target for $5 earlier this year. I did play it briefly once but nothing grabbed me in the short time I played. Maybe I need to give this game another whirl.
Any fans? or a Favorite DC game?
Wow, what a great game. I loved the mission with the flooded kitchen where you had to dive bomb the submarines. Nice multiplayer too!
I think Toy Commander is super nice. I have never finished it due in large part to the staggering difficulty(IMO). To me, it's a keeper and I do intend to troop through the more difficult missions at some point.

I think it's fantastic. I picked it up for $10 last winter and I thought it was wonderful. I would even recommend it to people at the full original price. I enjoyed it that much.
One thing I will say is that you need to give the game a little while to get used to controlling the different vehicles. Especially some of the strange ones like the copters. Once you get the hang of it it can be tonnes of fun. I have played many a mission where I ended up playing the game for hours on end not realising how long I was playing. There is a great variety of games and gameplay. Each room has neat shortcuts and secrets. The multiplayer modes are really fun as well because of the diversity of vehicles.
Overall I'd say this is a great game. It's one of my favourites. :)
This game is great, but its also shockingly hard.
All in all, I am quite glad that I own it.
One of the best overlooked games on the system. The sheer variety of missions and ingenuity of completing some of them was incredible. The controls are a bit loose, but after playing it a bit, you kind of realize why it has to be. Play it for a bit. It'll grow on you. The first 3 or so stages are just to get you used to the controls. Then you'll be doing all kinds of things, from racing, dogfighting, sending bombs to enemy bases, playing hide and seek... man... I feel like firing it up again now.
I really wanted a sequel, but I hear No Cliche is basically dissolved now. Tho... I remember that Sega did purchase them so I don't know if anything has come of that.
Great game, definately worth the $5-$10 it goes for nowadays.
Great stuff. I'm very glad Adeline/No Cliche are back.
I enjoyed it.
I found it very frustrating and hard. I did spend a few hours completing a few missions. The flying/landing was a bit difficult to control.
I have a demo disc with a Special Toy Commander XMAS level , did any of you guys try that one. I still have it and will bust that out and my Christmas Nights for the Saturn to get me inthe holiday spirit!!

And yes, I loved Toy Commander as well. It felt good finally beating Teddy at the end :)
I bought it with a gift certificate after Christmas in 1999. A simple, yet very effective game. Its also a blast in multiplayer. Especially the cat and mouse mode.
Easily among the best the Dreamcast has to offer, especially given that it was a launch title.
IMO, it joins Wacky Races at the top of the "Most Underrated Dreamcast Game" list. It's also near the top of my pile o' shame. I think I'm about 40% of the way through.
Thanks for reminding me. I bought it a year ago at Target for $5, and have never even opened it. A loser is me.
Appearently they reformed. They're back to Adeline now, and once again under the ownership of Delphine. They're smaller now but all the key memebers are still there. I'm really not sure how or when it happened but I'm glad it did. They're making a GBA Moto Racer right now which looks like fun from IGN's preview.Quote:

Cool, maybe Agartha will rise again. And Toy Commander is a game I've yet to devote time to, but the Christmas mission was very nice.

Toy Commander is a great game. I remember opening the game a few days before Christmas to play it, and then re-wrapping it and putting it back under the tree. The quality and variety of the gameplay was fantastic. It was actually my favorite Dreamcast game for a couple months.
Toy Commander was great fun. Good for anyone looking for a nice challenge.
I'll happily join in the Toy Commander love-fest here. Like almost everyone else here I didn't beat it either but love it anyway. Great mission variety, tons of vehicles, and an all around unique game.
Sounds like GTA, now that I think about it. :)

jeez.. i have it.. i just feel bad now for not getting into it yet..
here i come!
A personal fave of mine. I thought it was hard, but not TOO hard. The atmosphere and immersiveness of being so little in a vibrant environment always put a smile on my face.
You sir got a lot more and $5 worth of game.
Was the EURO-only racing spinoff game any good? What was it called?
Toy Racer. I didn't even know it existed (I thought it was scrapped) until I saw the game in Shou's collection O.OQuote:

Cool. Thanks for the information... I'll definitely have to keep a close eye on what they come out with in the future.Quote:

I am not sure I'd buy it but that GBA game looks pretty decent so far.
I've heard few positives of it. I believe there's four cars and four stages, the game was online, and that's it. To be fair it was released at a budget price, and part of the profits went to a charity. *-neoQuote:

Now i want one.
I got it early on after its release. I did fairly well, and got up to the parents badroom before I lent my friend my DC. My DC came back with no save on it. I just havent had the heart to go back and play up to that point again.
This game DEFINITLY screams for an online sequal. It could be based on the kid having to go with his mom or dad with errands to diffrent places, like the library, hardware stores, grocery stores, post offices and whatnot. You could even have weapons specific to the various locations. Giant areas for mini combat on a giant scale. God that would be wonderful. Only Worms surpassed this one in terms of making time melt like lemon drops.

Now that is an excellent idea! I would love to see that game get made.Quote:

I wonder if Adeline would have the right to make such a sequel...
