Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Commandos 2: Men of Courage is a tactical action-strategy game set against the backdrop of World War II. You'll take control of an elite group of commandos who must venture deep into enemy territory and utilize their combined expertise to complete a series of mission-based objectives. You'll covertly enter new environments based on authentic WWII locations, including the heart of the Third Reich, a northern European submarine installation, the headquarters of the Japanese army, and more.

You will interact like never before with the environment: stealing enemy uniforms and weapons, climbing poles, swinging from cables, swimming, utilizing vehicles, and climbing in and out of buildings, ships, and planes. You will control nine commandos, including a green beret, sniper, demolitions expert, seductress, thief, and even a dog. The game features an all-new 3-D engine, allowing you to rotate the environment 360 degrees, move seamlessly in and out of buildings, submarines, planes, and water, and zoom in and out when viewing the environment. The innovative camera control allows simultaneous control of multiple gameplay windows in real time. Commandos 2: Men of Courage includes 10 missions spanning nine different night and day environments with realistic weather effects. Go to war with others in a cooperative multiplayer mode, and use new WWII vehicles and weapons such as jeeps, tanks, trucks, ships, bazookas, and flamethrowers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game if you are a fan, November 7, 2002

By	"piercedbigd" (Chicago IL) - See all my reviews

This game is great if you liked the first one, the only problem that i have had with the game was that it took me about 3 hours just to learn all the controls, for the playstion controller, other that than the game is great, decent graphics, great storyline, sound is good to, once you learn the controls, and get used to the game, it is an all around good game, all though, the load times are a little slow, and this is not the type of game to play if you are in a hurry to go anywhere anytime soon, expect to spend some seroius time playing this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not strategy, don't be fooled, June 30, 2003

By	Timberwolf (Louisville, GA United States) - See all my reviews

Play this game and wonder why your strategies aren't working? It's because this is not a strategy game like it's advertized; it's actually a puzzle game with one, maybe two, solutions to each level and your job is to figure out what the creators thought would be the best way to go about your mission.

The computer game was the same way, but at least you had the benefits of a mouse and sharper monitor resolution. Trying to play this game on any television less than an HDTV set is seriously straining on the eyes. The very cruelly-designed action icons are so tiny, and offer no text accompanyment that just figuring them out is half the puzzle. Get the computer version if you REALLY have patience, but don't waste your time on a console version.

2.0 out of 5 stars I suggest the computer game instead., August 22, 2005

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This game is preety difficult. The computer game for one has way better graphics and is a lot simpler to control. It's also pretty hard too, but if you play it enough, you'll get used to it.
