    Shines as one of the most addictive and compelling strategy titles of 2001.

    Truly one of the most beautiful games I have seen this year.

    Although it’s shot through with bugs and screw-ups that would remand a lesser title to the bargain bin, the game itself is so damn good you’ll forgive almost anything to keep playing. [Jan 2002, p.94]

    The game uses a completely new 3D engine that allows for the rotation of environments so you can see where the enemy’s path is going to take them, in even more detail than ever before.

    I loved it! It made the hours fly by like minutes...Once you get used to the interface and become more efficient at positioning the camera just right, you'll soon become totally addicted to this title.

    A hard game. Those without degrees in strategy gaming will find their task daunting and, in many cases, too hard to accomplish. Lucky for me I'm well versed in the ways of the special forces.

    Insanely difficult. Non-masochists need not apply. [Jan 2002, p.90]

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

    The Commandos games are challenging,    Hardcore action/tactics/strategy game that is a typical sequel of the better kind: bigger-better-longer
    The Commandos games are challenging, so if you look for a game with high difficulty, this one is for you.

    The game itself is somewhat violent as you need to kill a lot of soldiers, but not really bloody.
    I would recommend it to any adult or high-school teen who can make a difference between violence and violence.

    Great game!    … Expand

    It's funny seeing people complaining that this game is hard. This is what these kind of games are meant to be! The storyline is nothingIt's funny seeing people complaining that this game is hard. This is what these kind of games are meant to be! The storyline is nothing special, what makes the game so impressively interesting and exciting is that each scenario adds another level of difficulty and towards the end of the game you really have to be skillful to be able to get through. That's what the genre and this saga is about and that's what makes any non-whiny league of legends kid love this game.

    Also, it's the kind of sequel you could expect, keeps the spirit of commandos but adds a lot of new features that improves the possibilities a lot and they are very welcome.    … Expand
