How about an expansion pack

Despite being an old game, this game is soo good that I wish someone would make an expansion pack for it (instead they came out with commando 3 which bombed).
This game takes time to learn, but its not too bad and once you get the hang of it, its the most fun ever! I liked its gameplay over other RTS games like Panzer and company of heroes, as it is more personal and enjoyable. There is an element of stealth needed rather than just fire power that some of the new RTS focus on. Overall I would encourage anyone who hasnt tried it to give it a shot, at current prices its a steal!

Great Game

Great Game if you enjoy real time military action in a small real time strategy setting.

I had played the original Commandos and wanted to play this one too. I must say that this game is real fun. It is a little hard but if you like challenges and you are a hardcore gamer, you will master the techniques quickly. Can't remain a n00b for a long time with this. You need to understand which commando is suited best for which action, although there are a lot of specialist activities which only one of them can perform.

The main upgrade or improvement I would think is that you can see inside closed doors, peep through key-holes, change the angles of viewing (this may have been there in the previous version too, can't remember). Wonderful gameplay, wonderful music, good graphics and very good missions.

Overall a very good game. :)

THIS GAME IS JUST TOO HARD

If you loved the original 'Commandos' (as did I), this one is going to be a bit of shock for you. Sure there are huge improvements in graphics, but the gameplay is just too difficult.

Unlike the original 'Commandos' game the two training missions here teach you nothing atall. Your dumped into a small scenario and left to figure out for yourself which of the 30+ hotkeys do what. Useless.

And the game scenarios? There just seem to be groups of enemy soldiers waiting behind every door and around every corner...especially on the Colditz game. You'll open a door,with no idea what's behind it, and you'll find yourself in a room full of 5 soldiers, who see you within a couple of seconds and start shooting. And of course another 5 soldiers appear from the neighbouring rooms and join in, you don't stand a chance. This seems to be repeated across many of the maps, unlike the original game were such large groups of the enemy were uncommon.

Also unlike the original game,there's very little 'clear space'to move around in. If there's a clearing big enough to hold an enemy soldier, the developers have put one there,and another 2 or 3 watching him. The amount of enemy soldiers seems to have multiplied by ten compared to the first game. Sure the maps here are larger,but that makes no difference,the enemy are just everywhere you turn. it seems like you can't move in any direction for 5 seconds without bumping into at least one one.....and I won't even mention the numerous unarmed men who just seem to lurk about fixing fences and painting gates, then try and beat you up when you stumble over them!

I loved the first commandos game, but I've been playing(or trying to play!) Commandos 2 for a week now, and am just finding it frustratingly hard to get into. It just too easy to die, and the odds all too often seem overwhelmingly stacked against you....and this is on the 'easy' level! The easy level on this game seem to be ten times harder than the hard level on the original.

If you're going to buy this, be prepared to spend a couple of weeks getting into it and figuring it out.You will NOT be able to just jump into this and have an enjoyable gaming session, even if you were an expert on the old Commandos game.

This would have been the PERFECT game if only the training helped to train you, and the 'easy' level WAS easy! I'm giving it just 2 stars because of the stupendous difficulty in getting started,the stupendous amount of enemy soldiers, and the stupendously hard 'easy' level. If it played as well as the original, it'd be 5,no question.

Best game ever!

commanding performance on every front

First of all I need to confess that I've yet finished either Commandos I or II but I am in awe by the gorgeous scenaries and uncanny attention to details Eidos managed to bundle up in such an enganging gameplay. While the first game in the series blends the elements of suspense, puzzle and strategy seemlessly with the then-jawdropping photogenic backgrounds, Men of Courage takes it one step further on every front - additional characters, more specialties, insanely difficult missions, LARGER maps (yes it can be HUGE), smarter AI and a great storyline that takes you all over the world. Missions contains more variety this time around and as always, there are at least three ways to accomplish each goal, making it highly entertaining and unpredictable. One mission will require you to put a bullet in between the eyes of a general - get this, right in front of his troops - and get all of your men out of the location in one piece.

Yes it can be a difficult game at first but don't let others fool you into thinking that it is not possible to get past the first mission. It will be worth your time.

Good game (at the price it's irresistable)

What a game! The graphics may not be all that hot anymore, at least the moving parts of it. But the gameplay is really cool - a bit on the tough side... A nice change from all the FPS games out there. Plus you can get it for peanuts. I run it on my Windows XP machine with absolutely no problems!

Commandos 2 Men Of Courage

Commandos 2 men of courage is a great game because it takes you a lot of time to beat this game. But when you get the hang of it, it becomes easier and then you can beat the game with no problem. If you beat normal mode you should try hard mode and than you can get better at that game. In very hard mode is a difficult level to pass but if you try harder you might beat that level. When I was playing in the beginning of the game it gets pretty bored cause it gets harder. When I was in this level that was soo hard. So one day I went to play and was passing the levels until I got stuck In a level. It was easy but then in the map it didn't show to close. So then I went to that level and then beat the game. Than I tried hard level and very hard level. It was difficult but I did it. I mostly like this types of games that are hard to pass but some day you got to pass it and believe me it would be so cool!!!!!!!!!!

great game
