Product Description

The direct approach isn't always the best approach--this concept lies at the heart of Commandos 2 just as it did with its predecessor, the innovative 1998 real-time tactical combat game that mixed elements of stealth, action, and even puzzle-solving in a World War II setting. Spanish developer Pyro Studios' visually stunning sequel takes the core gameplay of the original, adds some of the features from the 1999 stand-alone expansion pack along with plenty of great new ideas, and ultimately provides a highly challenging, sophisticated experience that's even better than the first. But be warned--Commandos 2 can be as intimidating as its premise makes it sound: You'll command a small group of elite Allied operatives deep behind enemy lines to perform a series of important clandestine missions. At every turn, your commandos will be avoiding the patrols of German or Japanese forces. It can be a difficult game, especially at first, but Commandos 2 truly evokes the intensity of the harrowing depictions of World War II that you've probably seen in film or on television.

You want hours of gameplay for single mission, you want to sort out every element of a single mission before proceeding, you like strategic gameplay, coo-relate single instances and time frame to co-relate every single move of yours to give results, you want to view your environment from different angles, rotate it, see the dileniated shadows behind opaque objects, enter the facilities, utilize the camera angles inside also, Commandos 2 gives you all. Mission completion can be done in more than two ways at least. The simultaneous movement, stealt operation, knocking out guards from back, hiding their bodies, making soporific bevrages available to the guards, driving vehicles, swimming, sniper, recon, bomb squad, stealing, deceiving, sneaking, stabbing, shooting etc. and all are there.
