It has been in the works for months and only now have we the opportunity to play the cute and yet violent game that is Team Buddies. The game takes the same multi-player premise used in older games such as Poy Poy and Bomberman, and creates an all-new cutesy strategy title. The Buddies are actually small ovular people (not unlike the wobbly weebles) with hands and feet like Rayman (ie. no limbs). The player must take control of a team of these sadistic little beasties and, while managing the team resources (in the form of small yellow and orange crates), crush the enemy into submission using a veritable arsenal of weaponry.

By stacking the crates the Buddies can create new weapons ranging from something as small as an uzi submachine-gun, to much larger flame-throwers and even tanks. When the Buddies finally engage each other in combat all hell tends to break loose with explosions and screams aplenty spattering the countryside. There are around eight different worlds to wreak havoc upon, with over sixty missions to complete in one player mode (for those players with no friends). Up to four players can take place in the battles via a split-screen mode in a variety of contests (capture the flag, bombball, or just all-out deathmatch destruction of the other forces).
