Destroy 23 different enemy toys with 16 lethal weapons. [Glboal Star Software]

Critic Reviews

49 Team Xbox
The fact is that it’s just not much fun to play. The camera is a headache waiting to happen and the rest of the gameplay mechanics don’t fare much better.
45 Games Master UK
Tedious in a way we can barely describe, and almost broken in places. Don't buy this. [Sept 2006, p.76]
38 Official Xbox Magazine UK
The done-to-death concept and boring missions don't do the game any favours. [July 2006, p.67]
31 GameSpot
This poorly designed shooter, with awkward controls and particularly shoddy sound, comes off as an embarrassing attempt to cash in on a franchise name that wore out its welcome years ago.
30 IGN
Poor presentation, the lack of any multiplayer modes, repetitive gameplay and frustrating controls doom Major Malfunction from the very start.

Someone desperately needs to declare the Army Men franchise KIA, and spare gamers from any future war atrocities. We surrender! [July 2006, p.81]
