Gameplay follows closely the plot of the movie (as far as I can recall the movie, anyway). Aside from maybe Hook and the Star Wars games, there really is a lack of good tie-in games for the original Game Boy. This game is actually better than most film tie ins, and is undeniably the best of the Small Soldiers brood (remember the pap produced under this name on the Playstation?), but that really isn't much of a compliment considering the competition. But we'll soldier on (sorry, I couldn't help it) and evaluate the game anyway. Since this type of game usually depends wholly on the hype generated by the film, this is not a good start for Small Soldiers on the Game Boy.
