Army Men: Soldiers of Misfortune is a 2008 third-person shooter video game developed by Big Blue Bubble and published by Zoo Games for Wii, Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2, becoming a Nintendo exclusive in Europe. It is the latest home console game in the Army Men series and the only one to be released on seventh-generation platforms. It is a major departure from prior games in the series in that players assume the role of Private Timmy Reynolds who plays with toy soldiers instead of the toy soldiers themselves, shrinking down to their size to participate in a war among them. The game includes 15 levels and a variety of weapons provided by the player.
