It's tough, but not in the way of adventure games. You nearly always have unlimited time to stop and consider your next move. Getting a move right brings intense satisfaction. Very immersive.

Great Strategy Game

I have all three games in the commandos series for the computer and have been excitied that they are finally coming to the xbox. The focuses on straetgy and tatics. If you just go intoa level with your guns blaring you are going to die. You should buy this game if like military strategy and tactic games that are challenging, yet fun.

While interesting in concept, Commandos 2 is a flawed game that turns repetitive and boring after a little while. First of all, the gameplay is very dull, it's missing the real depth of a good strategy game. I'm not complaining for a lack of action, a game can be good without all that shooting found in other WWII titles, but it just doesn't get to you. Non impressive graphics, cumbersome controls, and weak musical score and sound effects don't help either. Too bad, it could've been a great game.

Grappics-2 out of 5: they just don't take advantage of the Xbox's graphical power. While the maps look nice (but sometimes small), it's difficult to distinguish characters and objects, and sometimes the characters just plainly blend in with the environment and are nearly invisible.

Sound-2 out of 5: a dull soundtrack and weak sound effects make this game even more boring.

Control-2 out of 5: clumsy controls make it difficult to access your commando's abilities, though the object administration is not all bad, and moving them from place to place takes time. Another disadvantage is the lack of abilities for certain commandos.

Fun-2 out of 5: the idea was great, but it turns out to be a big disappointment, and constantly repeating stages because of a misstep will frustrate you. Not recommended at all.

Perhaps the worse realization of a good idea

I thought this game had significant potential and I was really looking forward to playing a war simulation. Well, all the fun stopped when I tried the controls for this game. The programers must've been sitting in an unvented area with lots of beans and bourbon to come up with the control scheme. To make a simple move requires tons of button presses that are counter-intuitive and numerous. The characters are diverse, a bit too diverse. I wouldn't be surprized if there's a specialist in tying shoes in this game.

The visuals didn't detract much from the gameplay but the gameplay itself is pretty bad. Solving missions require completely off-the wall moves like socking someone, running out of the room, and coming back in. I guess when you come back in, the guard forgets to report intruders. Overall, a great idea with horribly poor implementation.

Man I thought ... stink

I bought this game for computer thinking it to be very exciting and action packed. But actually this game is extremely boring. First, hte controls are very difficult to understand. Second, this game is incredibly difficult. I owned this game for 2 months and only beat two levels. I ,personally, like action games that put you on the edge of your seat. This game made you get on the edge of your seat because you almost fell asleep playing it. Even if you turn down the difficulty, it is still nearly impossible. The view is third person lokking from above onto the game. Sometimes this view can get very frustrating in parts of the game. Therefor, this game is definently not worth your money. If someone gave this game 4 or 5 stars i would be very fascinated to figure out what is wrong with them.

Just got this game a day ago and am already looking to sell it. This is by far the most complicated game I have ever played due to the controls. The game does have a wonderful tutorial for learning the controls that from start to finish is only about an hour long. EIDOS should have packaged this game with a 300 page quick referance guide just for the controls. This is probably the worst game I have ever purchased. Granted it is very complicated to learn; however you would think it would be fun to play once you get the controls down. Even though it's supposed to be an action game I did not find much action in it at all

Absolutely impossible to play. This game is way too complicated. There must be a hundred combination of buttons to remember to get things done. Some men can only do certain things and have to remember who can carry a gernade and who can't. Who can set a trap and who can't. Then try to rember which combination of buttons to push to make the man plant the bomb. After twenty minutes of set up time the enemy attacks but it happens so fast you can't move any of your men around in response to the attack. If you lose even one of your men the games over. The game becomes very frustrating and becomes very boring very quickly. This game STINKS

This game is the worst of my collection. You can hardly see the charcters. The controls are hard, and the men can only do certain things. My advice dont buy the game; its a waste of money.
