Small Soldiers is a third-person action game released at the same time as the movie of the same name. Instead of dealing with the toy Commandos and Gorgonites from the movie, the game uses the characters in an imaginary environment as described on the back of the toy figures' packaging.
It has fourteen levels of single-player action some featuring the Gorgonite Archer, others featuring the commando Chip Hazard. You assume the role of Archer, who has to defend his world against an invasion of the commandos. You can run, jump, climb ledges and fight using a blaster. Many levels involve freeing captured Gorgonites who then help you fight. Multiplayer includes two head-to-head two-player Chip vs. Archer mode where you either need to capture flags or get a set amount of frags.

PLAYING THE GAME
In Small Soldiers, you are Archer, leader of the mighty Gorgonites. The Commandos have invaded your worlds and are looting its resources to drive their massive war effort. It's up to you to rally your allies and take on the enemy!
On each of the twenty levels (fourteen in single-player games and six in two-player mode), weapons and special summons for your fellow Gorgonites lie hidden for you to discover. Find the idols needed to release the mystic Chanters, then take the keys to unlock passages throughout the worlds.
When a level's objectives are complete, the Chanters summon a dimensional portal which takes you to the next level. Knock out the Commandos and follow the portals' path from Gorgon to Chip Hazard's fleet—and on to the Commando homeworld for their ultimate defeat!
GORGONITES
ARCHER
You play Archer, savage warrior and leader of the Gorgonites. Loyal to his planet, he will use all his might to defend his homeworld and his people.
Archer's Gorgonite friends assist him in his battle for peace. Hidden on each level are power-ups that give Archer the power to summon his allies to the fight.
PUNCH IT
Stand clear when Punch It starts to throw his weight around. He's tough as a rhino and has sabre claws that cut through Archer's enemies like butter!
INSANIAC
Insaniac rules! He's got a few screws loose, but when he lets the twisted mojo rip, Commandos start making out their wills.
SLAMFIST
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he's always ready to rumble. With a boulder for a fist, any Commando in his way is between a rock and a hard place.
SCRATCH IT
Punch It's best buddy, a hyper-spaz weasel with frightening dental work, is hell on two legs in battle.
NIBBLE
This flying freak is a mutant menace. With Nibble as your wingman, Commandos are grass—and you're the lawnmower.
TWO-PLAYER
In two-player mode, players can choose between being the mighty leader Archer or gun-toting Commando Chip Hazard.
