Game Description

Toys are re-deployed, as the Army Men series rallies under the Global Star flag. The focus of this mission is to reign in a rogue soldier -- Major Malfunction -- who started causing trouble soon after the tragic loss of perennial Green Army hero Sarge. Shotguns, M-16s, and even flamethrowers will be welcome additions to players' arsenals, as they face a force of haywire playthings. Instead of the usual Tan Army enemies, this game has players battling nearly two dozen different toy types that all have turned to evil under the influence of Malfunction. In addition to the 30-plus mission "Story" campaign, players can melt-or-be-melted in "Arena Battle" and "Time Trial" modes.

Army Men: Major Malfunction is a game in the Army Men franchise released by Global Star Software in 2006 for Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles. The name Major Malfunction is derived from R. Lee Ermey's quote in Full Metal Jacket, "What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?".

Story

The main character is a soldier named Private Anderson. He is forced to fight his way through many enemy soldiers as he tries to defeat the main villain named Major Malfunction who has taken over the house with his toy army.

Reception

The game was widely panned by critics for its poor story, graphics, enemy artificial intelligence, and according to GameSpot its "horrible problems with aiming and camera control."

IGN gave the Xbox version of the game a 3.0 out of 10 while GameSpot gave it a 3.1 out of 10.
