    Shines as one of the most addictive and compelling strategy titles of 2001.
  2. It's refreshing to see a development team add so much to a sequel while maintaining the spirit of the original.
  3. Insanely difficult. Non-masochists need not apply. [Jan 2002, p.90]

    i laughed at the NGM magazine review "insanely difficult, non masochists need not apply", i breezed through the game on very hard, 2 days after i bought it. This game is without doubt my favourit game of all time Expand

    There's this excellent aura that works well with pretty graphics for 2.5D and its level of difficulty. There's nothing more fun than setting up a plan and killing a myriad of enemies. At first, it was really hard and only because I kept rushing. Finally I got around to accepting this wasn't a rambo-esq style game but more of a stealth and conquer. All in all, if you want superb strategy, try out this iteration in the Commando series. Design gets a 9 for the time it was made. Sound is just enthralling and the voice-overs are spot on. Gameplay is fluid and not restrictive for 2.5D Plot is average, nothing too enticing but it pans out nicely Expand

    I don't think this game is for everyone. The controls are very awkward for me. The gamplay is very unpredictable which is good but somehow it was easy for me to get frustrated and soon to get bored. Right now there ae similar better looking and at least as iunteresting games such as FallOut 2. If you are just thinking of buying this game--don't. If you are really curious, get the demo and see for your self. Expand
