What is more important: a game with uncountable number of cutscenes or a game with full discretion for your wildest ideas?
There is no boring cutscenes where brave soldiers make brave feets. There is no big armies and massive battles with artillery and airstrikes in ithe game either.
But the game have substential features which allow you to neglect of the pseudo negative sides mentioned above.
In the first place, it have awesome physics. What game had the tactical advantages consisted of box of matches in pocket of your soldiers? With this small box you can burn the forest with all enemies hidden enemies in it. Another example. You hided your squad behind a wall of solid church with the absolute confidence of safety. And one shrapnel projectile ruins this confidense completely. Here you have absolutely no places where you could feel youself safe.
In the second place, game consists of abilities represented in none other strategy-game.
Where else you can borrow a fuel for your empty tank from hostile motorbike? If you depleted all your ammo in tank you could unmount the machine gun from it and begin the 'light' trip to the objective.
Besides vehicles here have no lifebars. The game calculates zones of damage in utterly authentic way.
You would never destroy a tiger-class tank if you shoot at the front side of it. You can only break a track. But you can throw molotov's cocktail, shoot with bazooka and rig up mine field as preventive measure at last.
The soldiers: heroes of world war 2 is the most versatile game in the WW2 theatre

The only drawbacks to Soldiers are its murderous difficulty and speed. [Sept 2004, p.72]
The biggest problem in need of improvement would have to be in the soundtrack. Don’t get me wrong, the music is well composed and fitting for the game, but too often in the mission you get this repeat atmospheric type music that is about a five-second long (if that) affair that then repeats itself in total constancy.
If you’re looking for a real challenge in a great looking strategy game, then Soldiers is for you. However, the game can be so difficult that it will be just too much for the patience of most gamers.
I had to ask the game's publisher for detailed instructions on navigating the game just to make it part of the way through the first mission, and I still lost half my men in a half-hour. Those who complain that video games have become too easy will welcome Soldiers, but the rest of us will flee in terror.
The maddening difficulty level of this game destroys it. If you’re truly patient, then maybe, just maybe you might be able to get something out of it.., but if you’re like me who plays games to be entertained, I think you’re going to find yourself wanting to return this one.
This is an excellent game that is very... very difficult and should be played with others in cooperative mode for higher rate of success. You will need to bring the best out in you and do thorough planning, learn how to use which guns, where and when. DON'T try to rush head on or you will be dominated and crushed, the AI in this game can and will counter attack you as well...
Odds are you will never finish a single map in this game but good luck and don't give up, its one of the best games ever..... one last thing.... it isn't over until its over, you'll remember these words when you have played a few maps. GL

This game and the Men of War series is in my opinion the best RTS WWII games. The thing that lets this game stand out is it's difficulty. I couldn't even make through the first levels in the easy difficulty at first. Afterwards I started to understand the tactics and finished the game. I must say, It was worth it.

Summary Soldiers is a third-person tactical action game that plays out like a blockbuster war movie. 30+ missions, More than 100 vehicles, 25+ weapons. Pitching the player headlong into the war-torn battlegrounds of Europe. Direct control for targeted shots to take out a tank track or execute a headshot for the quick kill. Real ballistic physics...
