This game looked promising. Its down fall is your missions documentation is so overly simplistic. You may find yourself on the second mission wondering what to do next.It is this factor alone that prevents this game from being a classic. Not being allowed to progress can be stressfull especially after battling the same evil thugs. Adjustment of violence is good because over time the affects of eliminating the enemys of this grand country begins to sink in and you feel sick. I am going to store this game up for a bit and wait for some decent codes. Not being a violent game lover myself I don't care for this game overall.
Fun, but not what you're expecting

If you are looking for another game in the great Spec Ops series which includes Ranger Elite, Covert Assault and Stealth Patrol, this isn't it. This game is nothing like the others. It's a pretty fun game, though. The problem is that it's too easy. Also, there is one level which has zero challenge, takes forever and is extremely boring. There aren't very many weapons to choose from, either. The game has 10 levels (plus the training mission) so is a little on the short side. The gameplay is like something off of Super Nintendo: a overhead perspective, arcade-style game. Overall, this game is pretty good.

If you played Microprose's Airborne Ranger on your C64 or 386 back in the day, this game will seem very familliar. It is basically a contemporary version of that game. The game is simple, with a few frustrating parts, I had a TERRIBLE time learning how to disable mines. A little patience paid off though and the game is quite fun. Don't expect this one to be anything like the other Spec Ops games. If you want some fun action, check it out, especially if you're an Airborne Ranger veteran.
This game sucks, don't buy it!!!

In comparion to the earlier "Spec Ops" games of the series like "Steath Patrol" is this game absolutley sh**. The other games also had crappy graphics but "Airborne Commando" is the worst. The graphics is just like in my old Commodore 64 days and the gameplay... The earlier games had at least a so called realistic graphic and game features, this one now looks like "Mario in War-Land"!!!
I spent nights with my buddie playing "Stealth Patrol", because the two player feature was a great thing and in "Airborne Commando" is it totally missing.
For all the gamers out there, when you think "Airborne Commando" could be a better version of "Spec Ops" (newer, better graphics, better gameplay), like I did... don't be disappointed, like I'm now, don't buy it. This game sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cover of this game looks like the ones by take two interactive.Dont let that fool you. This game is nothing like the other ones. It is in a word, RIDICULOUS. I didn't know mario was a ranger! If you are 12 years old or younger you might like it. I didn't even get past the training mission, and I shut it off! Dont judge a book by it's cover!! BOOOOOO!!!!

This game definitely suprised me,considering the other games in the spec ops series. Instead of the usual format, this game is kind if like metal gear solid,but less polished.... I feel I got a deal on this one.The missions are kind of hard,but you get to employ some strategy depending on the mission you are on.The weapons you get to pick from range from a knife to a rocket launcher,and the missions have a good variety of objectives too....I would reccommend this game.
