Action Man: Operation Extreme features the hero from the European line of toys who is similar to America's G.I. Joe. Action Man, "The greatest hero of them all," must save the world from the evil Doctor X throughout several 3-D adventures in a third-person perspective. The six main environments and more than 40 locations include city streets, a desert base, and an ice base. Game modes include action, driving, flying, and underwater. Action Man can zoom in on enemies, too, by using a sniper rifle.
