Critic Reviews

86 Nintendo Power
The multiplayer option is perhaps the coolest thing ever for GBA fans with a taste for covert operations. [Mar 2002, p.135]
84 IGN
I recommend the game to anyone who's not completely put off by the complicated control scheme...This is such a different take on the game that it seems really fresh.
80 All Game Guide
Missions are well designed, elite squads carry out reasonably realistic actions, and the level of challenge is difficult but not overly daunting.
78 Game Informer
The strategy aspects are great, as is the audio. [May 2002, p.89]
72 Game Over Online
A game that is less puzzle-like than "Commandos" and more action-like than the roots of which this game originated from.
70 GameSpot
Manages to convey the same feeling of deadly tension that its PC counterpart was famous for, and the compromises that were made to make it portable are fairly minor.
70 GamePro
Visually, there’s lots to explore on every map, and the characters actually show decent detail. Cool voices and slick weapon effects complete a solid soundtrack.
