  • Summary: [Playstation Network] One of the most popular arcade shooters is back with a vengeance. Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 revives the classic Commando franchise with an all new adventure. Fight solo or recruit two other specialized commandos to defeat the evil tyrant, General Ratiev and his army of Zalestad soldiers. This frantic war fest combines precise, old-school gameplay with High Definition 3D graphics. Play as codename Wolf, Coyote or Fox as you take on waves of soldiers, rescue P.O.W.’s and blow up armored vehicles through a variety of dangerous battlefields. The missions become even more chaotic in 3 player local or online co-operative campaigns where the game adjusts its difficulty, so don’t let your guard down. Jump into tanks and jeeps together to boost up your firepower. With loads of weapons and power-ups at your disposal, gear up and blast your way to victory. [SCEA] Collapse

  1. Wolf of the Battlefield succeeds. It's flashier, more detailed, more exciting and lets you play with friends while feeling a lot like Commando must have felt like way back before we knew any better.
  2. Commando 3 is a great addition to your gaming library if you're aware of its merits and its faults before purchasing it. Dying isn't just something that happens every so often in this game, it's a way of life.
  3. With Commando 3, Capcom manages to both wash away the bad taste of Rocketmen and prove that old-fashioned blasters can be made to work today without losing the naïve verve of the 1980s.
  4. There’s a real lack of enemy variety, as well.

    Perfectly executed old-school action game. If you want to get your money's worth out of this one, then start out on the 4-star difficulty. Dont play the easy difficulty, because you will beat it on your first try and ruin the fun. It is just how classic commando was, 3 lives then GAME OVER. No continue or any of that fairy stuff. Its game over, you start from the beginning. Like I said, play it on hard. Expand

    Enjoyable online mult-player and good retro fun with onscreen action that gets manic sometime (especially with 3 player) - shame on the person who gave it 0 out of 10 (first vote), that's really an abuse of the voting system, there are plenty of things to elevate it above 0, even if it's not your cup of tea.

    8/10from me - best played with others but retro fun even in single player.
