This game is one of the best I have played, the reason I created a metacritic account and if you can overlook the dated graphics a truly rewarding experience. Single player alone would warrant the 10 rating however as co-operative with 2-3 friends it is astoundingly good and responsible for some of my most treasured gaming memories.

Recent mods can be downloaded to change the game and make it even more challenging... as if it wasnt challenging enough.

Hopefully if Commandos 4 is ever released it will draw from this legacy and not the disappointment that was Commandos 3.… Expand

Commandos kill all of the games on PC.

Lo mejor de lo mejor en esta clase de juegos... muy mejorado en comparacion con el anterior, pero es mas facil... que pena.

Played the first one, loved it, played this one and loved it even more. The boys at pyro studios have really out done themselves this time. Excellent work guys.

Awwwsome.

Commandos rulezzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Played the first commandos in PC and now playing Commandos 2 in PS2, real cool features and more stunt the commandos can do. It is a must play game!!

Ohh lla laaaa.....the best game has come to my home.

The best game out of the commandos series!

Dont know why everyone say its so difficult. its pretty straigt forward. but its NOT a game that u complete in 6 - 8 hours. Loved Commandos 2 truly one of the best games in its genre.

This game is just da best !!!

I've played this game now for over 7 hours and can't complete the training mission. I liked the graphics, especially on the little men. But I find you need a degree in nuclear physics to be able to control your squad.

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

It is better than its prequels. Simply great, but a bit difficult. Truly a revolution in strategy games genre.

Utterly balls. worst graphics. worst gameplay, worse than any other game i have played. Runaway and X3 got far worse scores but are far better games. I doubt that anyone who reads this will rate Runaway or X3 so you know im right when i say that all commandos games are shit. please save yourself a fiver and dont buy this crap. buy company of heroes if you like that sort of thing or if you want adventure, give runaway a try.… Expand

The best strategy game in this f....n world.

Not a strategy game. Not even a puzzle game. A game of repeitious and tedious timing that is not fun in any aspect.

Commandos 2 is one of my top 5 favorite games, and one of only 3 games i've bough full price at release because i enjoyed the first games so much. Not sure what the hell CalumL is on about, the game is nearly 10 years old and the graphics still look great. X3, Runaway and Fallout2 are not even in the same genre as this so why are even they mentioned?

Amazing game, great strategic elements and a very immersive music. Graphics are great cosidering when the game came out.
Best of the commandos series and a must play for the strategy stealth lovers.

jednoznacne nejlepsi dil cele teto serie. I kdyz trochu zamrzi, ze se nemusi jit tak potichu a opatrne jako v prvnim dile, vynahrazuje to spad hry a velikost map. Grafika je uzasna a szit se s vasim komandem trva jednu dve mise

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

This game is not for the faint of heart or the weak of mind.

From the looks of it, there are a small number of individuals who gave this game absolutely appalling, low scores. I understand the whole concept of 'respect another persons opinion' but dudes? I could beat the missions when I was 9. This game isn't hard if you know how to examine a few key elements.

Like TurboMan... You say that you played the game for 7 hours and couldn't beat the training mission, let me just say it took me 7 minutes... You must have forgotten to use the radio to call in the tank (I hope so anyway). Don't worry, simple mistake on your part. Not worth an offensive 1 rating though.

CalumL... I'll do myself a "fiver" and wish I could rate this game a 30 to make up for your stupid '0' rating tacked onto that incoherent rant. You must have gotten killed a few too many times, am I right? Or maybe you didn't know how to complete a mission or two, and just stared at the screen for a while... I'd hate to see how you feel during "Is Paris Burning?" Your opinion is "utterly balls" my fellow.

GaborA: It's a game that requires you to think. Go play COD-5 if you want a puzzle game.

And last but not least, NGM...
"non-masochists need not apply." I never felt any pain playing this game. Of course then again, I guess I didn't play it right... I should have stuffed my head between my haunches and used my toes to work the controls.… Expand
