Stick Man Rescue

Gen cert, TikGames, PSN ***

Rescue the stick men from a horrible fate in this action/ arcade game. Available as a PSP Mini, the blue stickmen are up to no good, with all manner of horrible deaths planned for your unsuspecting troops should you fail to pluck them from peril. And they have an arsenal at their fingertips to help them carry out their grisly mission – steamrollers, zeppelins – with a view to destroying your men. That doesn’t mean that you’re powerless, of course. You have a chopper to pilot through the levels, with weapons including everything from bombs to flamethrowers. Occasionally, it’s fun to sit back and watch the carnage, although that’s not really the aim of the game. Pick up a set number of stick men from each level and you’ll power through to the next one. It’s addictive, to say the least.
