Action man: Mission Xtreme. - MayRey.

Action man: Mission Xtreme. - MayRey. is a video review created by MayRey in late 2016. It is a review of a very bad Action Man PS1 game. It is the second MayRey review to be made and was the first to show Lily on screen.

You can watch the video here.

The Game
The game being ripped to shreds in this video was a little known licensed PS1 game starring action figure mascot Action Man.

The toy line was very similar in many ways to G.I Joe featuring a lot of military style versions of the character, with different outfits for different terrains as well as baddies for Action Man to fight.

The Story
"'Gangrenes forces are attacking targets throughout the city to steal laboratory equipment. Use your silver speeder to stop them before they cause any further damage'  -Disinterested woman."The bland uninspired story of this game is only slightly better than what the 6 year olds playing with the Action Man toys would think up.

Professor Gangrene, a balding green paedophile, and his evil assistant Toxica, a woman, have stolen toxins from around the city to...infect plants with? We're really not sure. We never played that far into the game to find out.

The Gameplay
The gameplay of Action Man: Mission Xtreme is split into two distinct variants. Vehicle levels, and ground levels. Both are shit. The vehicle levels have you attempting to drive or fly while shooting down enemies and collecting tokens. Whereas ground levels are basically a laughable rip off of Metal Gear Solid with all the stealth being removed.

Boss fights are also in the game. They too are terrible.

MayRey's Thoughts
While the game is clearly terrible, MayRey mentioned that it did have some potential underneath all it's shit-ness and that the IP of Action Man could have made for a really good video game. But the awful vehicle levels and terrible combat ruined any chance of that.
