I haven't played many other tower defense games and I don't even know if I'd like most of the genre but the Toy Soldiers series is so damn good I've been coming back to it now and again for a decade. It's tower defense, but you're heavily encouraged to get directly involved in the combat. It's straightforward but it works.

The Complete collection was never entirely finished; most notably there's some missing audio all throughout, radio chatter is missing in Cold War and helicopters' blades are silent. Toy Soldiers 1 was Frankensteined onto Cold War's engine so there are some oddities there. That said, the game's fully playable.

On the whole TS Complete is still an easy recommendation. It's easily the best way to play Cold War (my favorite of the two). Toy Soldiers 1 has a separate re-release via Toy Soldiers HD but I don't know much about it; maybe it's better, but the version of TS1 contained here is still very good and worth your time.

More than anything I'm just happy the game got patched to run on modern CPU's. I hadn't been able to play these games for years and I'm thrilled to have them back.
