Game Description
Announced on March 9, 2011, Toy Soldiers: Cold War is Signal Studios' follow-up sequel to the immensely popular game, Toy Soldiers. Toy Soldiers: Cold War takes a look into what might have happened had military aggression escalated in the 1980's between the USA and then USSR. Toy Soldiers: Cold War features a blend of first-person action and strategy, similar to the original Toy Soldiers, but with added features and gameplay.
Reception
PAX East
The announcement of Toy Soldiers: Cold War was made on March 9, 2011, as a lead up to its first public showing at the 2011 PAX East convention in Boston, MA.[2] Jordan Devore with Destructoid said, "Way to set the bar high, Signal Studios."[3] and Stephen Totilo of Kotaku's reaction was that, "It looks like a fantastic upgrade."[4] Rob Thomas with Crush Frag Destroy said, "It’s like your G.I. Joe fantasies come to life!”[5]
E3
Toy Soldiers: Cold War made another showing at the 2011 E3 Convention to a positive reception. Along with its inclusion into the Xbox LIVE 2011 Summer of Arcade promotion,[6] Toy Soldiers: Cold War playable demos were hosted on the show floor. For the event, Signal Studios developed and released a new trailer for the game while also being featured in the Summer of Arcade promotional video. From the event, GameFocus said, "Toy Soldiers: Cold War looks to take Xbox Live Arcade by storm again."[7] Talking about the barrage types, Arthur Gies of IGN said, "the show-stealer was The Commando. The Commando is, simply put, John Rambo, a John Rambo that carries a machine gun in one hand and a bazooka in the other, a John Rambo who screams things like "You wanted a war!""[8] After demoing the game, John Lomaga of VG Revolution said, "Toy Soldiers: Cold War is an amazing sequel to one of my favorite XBLA games of 2010. The folks at Signal Studios have an amazing drive and desire to deliver a fun experience."[9]
