5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome edition to the current crop of WW2 games, February 24, 2008

Changes have certainly been a foot since we met the Commandos franchise last. Traditionally an isometric-perspective, strategy-come-puzzle game, the franchise has made the switch to first-person, and it's made a far better fist of it than we'd anticipated. Certainly those who shudder at the mere mention of the first-person Command & Conquer: Renegade has little to fear here.
That said they don't have an awful lot to set their pulses racing either. For Commandos sticks to its formula of having, in this case, three differing troops you can switch between at the touch of the space bar, each of whom has different skills.
Want brute force and firepower? Enter the Green Beret. Need someone to sneak around unnoticed? That's the Spy. Looking for some long range cover? Meet the Sniper. Using the combined skills of all these three, replete with regular switching between them, you tackle a variety of missions that have a pleasant, puzzle-like element to them.
So what's the problem them, you may wonder? In this case, it's the fact that as a first-person shooter it's quite good, as a sniper game it's quite good, and as a stealth game it's quite good. Add them all together, and you have a well-packaged hybrid of game genres that just about glue together. The catch? In every one of the genres it tackles - sniping, action and stealth - it's some distance behind the respective market leaders.
And yet in another cunning review twist, reminiscent of an unproductive day in the '24' story lining department, I'm still edging you towards buying it. Not because it's any great moment in gaming history, but more because it's a nice, tidy and enjoyable first-person action adventure, which may lack special tricks but doesn't fall short when it comes to a damned good challenge.
What's more, even if you were a fan of Commandos in its previous livery, with the isometric intense real-time strategy that's not harmed Eidos' bank account over the past few years; you'll find this a respectful migration to a new perspective.
True, it's been simplified a fair bit, but the thinking and plotting behind Commandos has remained intact. And, in fact, moving to first-person mode appears to have liberated the game designers, who are nowhere near as insistent as they used to be on you tackling certain things in certain orders, with little variation. Good on 'em.
Strike Force may not need much a mantel piece to keep its awards on, but it'd not go without a bit of love in your very own home.

it's a fun game, you can play as a spy, infantryman, or a sniper. in some missions you set out as one of them, in others you can change between the three. WWII action it's worth checkin out

Ok, I know this is an older game but it hasn't gotten the credit it deserved. First of all it has way better enviroments and graphics then Medal of Honor: Frontline. Secondly take Splinter Cell Strategy and Medal of Honor's look and That is what you get which is pretty freakin' awesome! Thirdly the AI is really good and very smart! Medal of honor needs to take some notes. Also if you line up 2 germans in your sniper scope you can get a double kill! And I love the interaction in the game! The best part is when you kill a german with the spy you can take the germans clothes!!!! Just like Hitman!!! And the sniper comes with five knives which you can stab a German in the back or throw it at his head!!! Also the spy comes with a fiber wire which was another Hitman feature. It does come from the company Eidos which explains all the hitman features. And it even has a very interesting Story. If your a World War II junkie like me and you love stealth games also, this is the game for you!!!
