    Striking graphics, realistic environments, interesting and diverse characters--what’s not to like? Really nothing.
  2. Yahoo! Games

    What makes it great is the fantastic level design and AI, the solid cut-scenes and storyline, the inventive character abilities and the fact that the designers have squeezed so much into it.
  3. Computer Games Magazine

    While it's impossible to overlook the game's unforgiving level of difficulty, it is often very entertaining.

    This game is truly stunning. There is still no one to get close its calibre. If you have not played yet, it is fairly to say you have lost somethings as game experience.… Expand

    A great game. Memorable characters and settings, good story, great missions, very interesting weapons and skills for each character (some of these weapons and skills are much more useful than the ones your characters have in Commandos), funny dialogues, high replayability. Not very hard either. Definitely worth having and playing.… Expand

    This is an extremely hard yet sometimes amusing game but it stays more like a wild-west Age of empires than a Doc Holiday...
