Commandos 2 (PC) Game Review

How to describe this fairly unique strategy game? Commandos 2 is a strategy game set during WW2 and sees you using highly specialised soldiers to force your way into German compounds to rescue prisoners of WWII or technical documents etc... In the process of which you'll set man traps for prison guards, sneak up on them and stab them for silent kills or you can simply fire off a shot like I do and wait with a machine gun prepared for the alerted guards to rush round a corner before despatching an entire bunch of them. What I don't mention too much of in the review is that you'll be using sniper rifles (among other weapons), will drug food for guards to make them fall asleep, you'll be crawling and running past enemy sentries and generally have a host of them to kill before reaching your objectives.

As I say in the review it's easier to say why this game falls short of a "good" 7 mark than explain why it's still a highly playable game. It succeeds in creating an addictive game that just requires "one more attempt" and because of its sometimes boring repetition it also is quite relaxing and doesn't require too much thinking (unless you're unsure of mission objectives in which case you'll be having to scour the entire level for it). e.g. You creep up on guards, stab them, move the body, repeat the process hundreds of times.

I stand by my comment that Commandos 2 is no classic but that certainly doesn't make it a bad game.

Guys, I absolutely agree, this was the main game of my childhood (next to Desperados, another jewel). Awww, the good old times =) Favourite maps are the Island and Burma.

Best damn strategy game! 

[ArborVitalis]

This game made my whole childhood. It's true that some things are impossible to see and some objectives are not that clear but it's definetely a very well made game :)

This is the best game man. I would pay 100 bucks if there was new game coming in this perspective!

@ThePCreations well all the Commando games are now 0.99p on steam. So if you can't get them working, you might as well install the steam verison. Btw if you but them as a collection, you save 0.99p lol soo...
