Very, very tricky...

My initial excitement for this game was soon squashed by the frustration brought about by the realization that the later missions are essentially very complex puzzles that require a linear approach and split-second timing. I like the concept of team members with a different array of skills and equipment, with the spy and the sniper being personal favorites. (Although the need to limit the sniper's ammunition is understandable from a play-balancing perspective it seems very unrealistic to suggest that a soldier could only carry five bullets.) The team roles however add to the frustration, since the death of any member will cause you to fail a mission. Your team members seem to die distressingly early and often, so one may feel obligated to save accordingly. This merely compounds the difficulty and frustration of the later missions. I soon realized that this game just wasn't fun anymore.

This is what we call strategy game

Commandos,is not a simple game ...its a game for people who ask for lots of action and thinking and enoyability without getting too much prework before real action begins...this game gives it all...simple tasks simple players but complicated missions.The amazing in this game is that its not one of the strategy games that there is only one way to solve a mission!Even in the difficult ones there r key moves that can make things easier for you.Its one of the very few games that works only if u imagine yourself in the place of the heroes you r handling....excellent!

Say goodbye to all your other games

In a world full of 'cookie-cutter first-person shoot-em-up' games, this one stands as one of the best games ever. Instead of mindlessly shooting everything in sight, one must think and plan to win in any of the scenarios -- quite often a mission can be completed without killing everyone.

I've owned this game for several years now, and keep coming back to it as it never gets old since you find yourself trying different methods. No special equipment is required such as force-feedback joysticks or voice-recognition. Just a good-response mouse, keyboard, and plenty of your favorite refreshment as you will be playing this game for hours.

One drawback to the game is that people who don't have it will never understand your passion for it.

After 6 yrs, I still love it.

It has been 6 yrs ago since the last time I played it. I finished this game and you know, its passion is still remain in me until now.

I can recall exactly how my characters, have ventured with me through out a long distance. About mission 14, when I group all of them to the boat and escape to the sea, their HP are just enough for survival. What a remarkable game. The only game could draw my passion. 6 yrs ago just like yesterday. :)

Awesome strategy game!

Commados by Eidos is an extrodinary game with spectacular graphics and awesome attention to detail. The missions are very complex and require the user to think through what he/she has to do before they do it. i havent stopped playing this game ever since i got it. There are around 20 missions to play, and some of them take hours. I love this game a reccomend it for any gamer!

Yes, you better get a comfortable chair because with this game you'll get hours of fun behind the monitor. If you really like a challenging game you must get this, if don't, then don't waste your time and money. It has cool graphics, the storyline is great, all you need is patience and time to learn how to use each commando. Altought is a very difficult game, it has some "resourcers" you can use to make it easy (can this game get easy...??) to play like hot keys, multiple camera modes, etc...as i said get a comfortable chair and give it a go.

Very Impressive

If your looking for a game that will keep you thinking for hours on end, then Commandos is the game for you. This game may follows the same way as other RTS games but the way it's set up is truly unique. All of your men have to make it out alive. If even one of them dies, it's all over. The challenge is really good to. It took me over a hour to figure out some the early missions. Definitely a game that you won't get bored with.

Excellent Game

This is an excellent 2D war game. 3D games sometime give me a headache. Two thumbs up.
I did notice a bug in one of it's missions where I couldn't escape even after finishing the mission.
