Commandos 2 is a sequel to the original real-time strategy games Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty. As in these earlier games, players take control of Green Beret 'Tiny' and his group of highly trained operatives, behind enemy lines in war-torn World War II Europe. To provide more realism and balance, the characters all share the same basic abilities in this edition of the series, but specialists will still be much more effective in their areas of expertise. Three new characters appear in this title - a tricky thief, a sultry seductress, and a clever canine. Players have much more control over their view of the map and characters are able to enter buildings in this sequel. In spite of the faster-paced gameplay, Commandos 2 is still a strategy game and true victory will always require careful planning and thoughtful execution.
Commandos 2 is a tactical action/strategy game set against the backdrop of World War II. The player takes control of an elite group of commandos who must venture deep into enemy territory to complete a series of mission-based objectives in an attempt to change the course of the war. The game incorporates several new features and utilizes a completely new 3D game engine, enabling indoor and outdoor locations as well as the ability to rotate the environment.
The player is given a huge new playing field and total freedom to explore as no corner is out of reach. Commandos 2 features three new characters, who bring with them unique skills to help you defeat the enemy. However, enemy soldiers are smarter and more varied than ever and they will hear, see and even smell your every move! Take your commandos to new geographical environments including Asia, the Arctic, North Africa as well as Europe. You will drive new vehicles and fire new weapons. The gameplay is faster, more realistic and more action packed than ever before.
When I first played Commandos back in 1998, I had no preconceptions. It just showed up as a demo in a stack of demos, and happened to be the game I chose to play on a rainy afternoon. It's taken three years to get the sequel ready, but my patience has paid dividends. In fairness to Spanish developer Pyro Studios, three years isn't that long to wait for a game in this industry, and given that it took me about nine months to wrap up the first game, and there was a mission pack, the intervening period wasn't even that long. The problem with truly great games though, is that you hang on every word, every screenshot and every glimpse you can get of the game. Every time Eidos unleashed another slew of screenshots I found myself lusting after the sequel, wanting ever so much just to sink my teeth back into the nit and grit, the trademark engrossing gameplay of Commandos. So it does feel like we've been waiting a long time.
The good news is that for Commandos fans the game has certainly been worth the wait, and it's as intimidating and downright insurmountable as before, if not more so. The game draws on plenty of movies to bring you the ultimate 'behind enemy lines' experience, and fans of films such as Where Eagles Dare and Saving Private Ryan will spot a number of references. The world Pyro Studios have built for the sequel is very believable, and as you guide your tiny task force of allied operatives deep into enemy territory, you truly appreciate how much more challenging and sophisticated an experience Commandos 2 is compared to its predecessor. Crew Cut The maps themselves are equally believable. At first sight the screenshots we have been peering at for the last three years look decidedly similar to the original game, but the difference is in the detail. The levels are still pre-rendered, but everything is minutely detailed right down to the door handles and bits of rubbish littering the streets of a sacked French town.
The character models are in 3D this time around, and rotate and scale beautifully. It's actually quite interesting to note just how well Pyro have modeled them despite the overhead viewpoint. Getting the look of movement right from the side is hard enough, let alone from four separate isometric viewpoints. All this said, there are only ten main missions in the game. Whereas Commandos offered a number of smaller missions to get you started, the sequel offers only a couple of (supposedly helpful) tutorial missions, but really it assumes that you will be hooked from the get go, chucking ten extraordinarily complex and exciting missions at you for the single player game.
You start out with your team of operatives already entrenched under cover with an enormous list of objectives. These can include just about anything from sabotaging warships and other vehicles to assassinations and intelligence duties. The game will take perhaps forty or fifty hours to overcome if you don't rush things, and that's despite the relatively small number of missions on offer. Once you have completed the game once you will want to go through it a few times on higher difficulty levels too, although you might want to pace yourself! The higher difficulty levels help the guards to react quicker, and feature different volumes of activity and such, and frequently this means changing your strategy. Things are difficult regardless though - there is no 'easy' mode.
The closest thing is the tutorial mode, which offers little or no actual guidance, but just gives you fewer objectives. By assuming that players know the score already, Pyro have made Commandos 2 a little frustrating for the newcomer, and that's going to give them trouble, particularly in the PlayStation 2 version, but if you're prepared to hold off on drawing your own conclusions for a couple of hours while you get the hang of things, your patience will be rewarded.
We're still marines and we've got a job to do Commandos 2 is essentially just a bigger and better version of the original, but then sequels aren't supposed to innovate; they are supposed to quench the thirst for more. They do everything bigger - more explosions, more characters, more missions, more story. It's the same for movies. This isn't a stereotype; it's a simple, logical facet of every sequel. Commandos 2 doesn't try to pretend it's something it's not, but everything it does is better than the original game and there's more of it, and that's why it's so good, and why fans of the series won't be disappointed. Take the cast, for example.
In the first game you only had a handful of operatives, but this time around there are new faces at your disposal who will prove essential to certain missions. On the one hand you have your Green Beret, the strength and skill of the outfit, with his trusty knife for dispatching guards; and a deadly marine capable of knife-throwing and other interesting methods of waste disposal. Then there is the sapper, a demolitions expert perfect for causing a ruckus when it's most needed; your mechanic, who can hotwire any vehicle; your spy, capable of disguising himself as the enemy; a sniper; and your typical female secret agent. New additions include a thief who can sneak in and out of the deadliest of situations without harming a hair on himself; and a bull terrier, to help distract your enemies when you need to get yourself out of a hole. Although there is always some way to complete an objective, Pyro Studios have done an excellent job of masking this by giving you such a limited set of skills, weapons and other equipment that you do feel like someone with his back up against the wall. You have plenty of strategic options when you first start out, but which is the right one?
And which one fits your resources? It's a Blue Peter-esque balancing act at times. You may have a plan, but can you really make it work, or are you missing something vital to your success?
We will never surrender Just like the original, things can take a turn for the worst easily, but unlike the original that doesn't mean tracing your steps back to whichever deadly situation got the better of you. Commandos was often criticized because most puzzles effectively had only one solution, and once you had found it you just tried it over and over again until it came off. With Commandos 2, you could be walking into a trap the whole time - you can take nothing for granted - and if something goes wrong you needn't necessarily go over the same process repeatedly. You could just try another door, so to speak. Strategically though, Commandos 2 shares a lot with its predecessor, and you still have to case the joint if you want to succeed. Every single guard needs to be carefully noted if you want to make your way through to the objective.
Pyro never bothered with the fog of war, because that could never work. As such, you spend most of the time just staring at the screen trying to piece together the routine needed to overcome your enemies and steal your way through to the objective. The tension doesn't come from something silly like a ticking clock, it's born in the pit of your stomach just before you go to work. Before you step out into the open. The only thing that caught me off-guard in Commandos 2 is the multiplayer mode.
If you can find someone as fanatical about the game as yourself, get together and play Commandos 2 co-operatively. There is nothing to match the joy of completing a mission in Commandos 2, except perhaps completing it as a team. Try it with your girlfriend, she'll find you irresistible for weeks. (Note: actual results may vary.) Conclusion Commandos 2 is a resounding success on all counts.
It looks better, it sounds better, it offers you more strategy and single player game time than the original did, it takes longer to complete, it has a multiplayer mode and it boasts unparalleled replay value which forces you to think laterally about the same situations because of guards with increased alertness. This will probably see you through until next year, so if you have been looking for this winter's killer application on PC, pull up a chair and ration yourself some cocoa. It's going to be a long haul.

Overview Woooooooooo Hooooooooo. The boys are back in town. Inferno, Tiny, Fins, Tread, Duke - all your favorites from the original Commandos are back after some much needed R&R, and now they’re ready to take on the German and Japanese armies. You’ll be sneaking into enemy bases, stealing Enigma machines to help the war effort, flying in hot air balloons and posing as a German officer, all in the name of democracy. Commandos 2 comes with two training missions and ten game missions. While this may seem small in size, you have to remember that a full install for this game is a huge three GB.
This gives you an idea of how large the maps are for the ten missions, not to mention the bonus missions if you and your commandos find the hidden bonuses throughout the game. Throw in Multiplayer and you have one huge commando sandwich on your hands. Commandos is as good a game as they come in regards to the RTS genre. All of the missions look beautiful, with huge attention to detail and challenging objectives. What are you waiting for? Sharpen up your bayonet and read on.

Gameplay, Controls, Interface Commandos 2 is a real-time strategy game that puts you in charge of nine commandos during WWII. Each mission has a list of objectives that must be completed for the mission to be considered successful, and at the end of the mission you are graded on how well the mission was executed. Commandos 2 has the same feel as most RTS games with a 'look down' view over the entire map. All actions that your Commandos perform can be done using either the point and click method or hot-key method. I highly recommend that you learn to use all of the hot keys; it just takes too much time to be pointing and clicking, especially when a German patrol needs quick killing. One of the best aspects of Commandos 2 is the ability to play missions and find a different way to complete them.
I like to sneak nice and quiet in Commandos, then stand up and rip out my enemy's throat with my knife. Other players might prefer shooting everything, but it really doesn’t matter because most times the missions can be completed playing either style. You’ll also notice that it will take your entire group of commandos to complete a mission. Each one of your commandos has special skills that only they can use, so if you’re in need of explosives only your Sapper commando can do the job for you, which really makes you learn each commandos skills and how to use them best. Another thing that will have you drooling all over your green beret will be the huge number of weapons you can use to subdue, kill, incapacitate or just generally raise some hell. Commandos 2 had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The game is that good at sucking you in.
I would find myself holding my breath as a German guard passed by Tiny just out of view. I would also wait tensely for a few seconds after taking that same guard out, wondering if the alarm was going to sound. Unfortunately there are usually bad points to a game and I’m saddened to report there are a few in Commandos 2.
The first thing that really sucks is the save feature. Why is there no instant quick save in the game? In this type of game it is a must to have a Hot Key quick save - I don’t want to have to hit the escape button and then save.
The entire save process screws up the whole flow of the game. My other rant has to do with the mission briefings. I really wish they would have included a replay button on the mission briefs because they go entirely too fast and it would be nice to go back and view the movie mission brief instead of having to read it. Okay I’m done, other than that, I’m a happy commando. Multiplayer I really feel that Commandos 2 is a single player game that is best enjoyed by yourself with a cold brew. I found it was extremely difficult to play with people that I’d never met before because they didn’t really know my style of play, which at times turned missions into a total nightmare. But there is good news to be had.
I had my buddy buy a copy of the game and we had a blast playing missions together. The reason it worked well was because normally we’d take turns playing on my computer, so we have each learned how the other likes to play the game. Now when we play online, it works very well because of our teamwork. Graphics Can you say the word beautiful? If not, then you’d better learn because that’s exactly what you’re going to be repeating over and over when you see the different missions throughout the game. The attention to detail is amazing.
My favorite mission has to be Mission Two because of the size and beauty of the map. You must covertly enter a German submarine base and rescue some allied soldiers and their sub, and then blow the whole place up with some remote bombs. What made this mission my favorite was the attention to detail concerning the German base. There are mess halls filled with German soldiers and a fuel depot that is being repaired by workmen. I could go on and on for days about all the eye candy that is included in each mission, but just trust me when I say that the graphics will suck you in like a black hole and keep you coming back for more. Another thing that will really pop out at you is the wonderful use of colors in the game, everything is so vibrant but not loud. This is one game that is pleasing to the eye in every way.
Audio The music is absolutely wonderful in Commandos 2. During tense scenes in the game the music will pick up speed and sound a little more ominous, but if you’re in no immediate danger the music stays at a mellow pace. The entire musical soundtrack has a distinct WWII feel to it which really draws you into the game even more. I did find that mission briefings were sometimes difficult to understand and I could never pinpoint why that was the case, aside from being poorly recorded. If you’ve ever played any of the earlier installments of Commandos you will notice right from the start that the voices of your Commandos characters really suck big time. The very first Commandos games had a cast of voices for the characters that was great. Each voice fit that character perfectly and sadly they were not able to reach that goal in Commandos 2, but if you’ve never played this series of games before then that won’t be an issue.
I do need to point out that the character voices also get a bit repetitive when issuing commands, but you’ll hardly notice because of how hard you’re concentrating on reaching your mission objectives. System Requirements PII 300 MHz or better, Windows 98SE or ME, 32MB RAM, 4X CD-ROM, DirectX 8.0 or higher, 2GB hard disk space, DirectX compliant sound card, and a DirectX 8.0 Video Card with 12MB VRAM.
Documentation The only complaint I have with the manual has to do with the fact that there was no 'Hot Key' card enclosed in the game. Commandos 2 has such a huge list of hot keys that it is absolutely necessary for a hot key card. The other thing that bothered me about the manual is that nowhere does it tell you that you must play with CD#3; you just have to figure it out on your own. Things like that should be very straightforward in documentation. Bottom Line If you’re looking for a tough and challenging RTS game then you should stop reading this review and get your butt down to the local software store and buy this game. I know for a fact that this fall I will be spending many a sleepless night taking my commandos on treacherous missions in hopes of killing as many Nazis as possible. On that note: feed the dog, kiss the wife goodbye, and tell work that you’re very,very sick then start playing Commandos 2, and don’t blame me when you’re staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night thinking about how you could have completed the mission a better way.
Commandos 2 Missions
89/100 enough said!!!! Following the release for the PC, Eidos has taken their action strategy game, and released it on the Playstation 2. Set during World War II, the army has recognized the need for a specially trained group of men capable of infiltrating the enemy and causing chaos. From this the Commandos were created as eight trained specialists with different skills and abilities will attempt to complete their missions, helping win the war against the Third Reich. As you take the Commandos through the twelve missions, they'll encounter and interact with over eleven different environments as they steal enemy uniforms and weapons, climb poles, swing from cables, and use vehicles. If you're concerned about there only being twelve missions, don't be, as it takes some time to finish them.

Most will have to restart a number of times as you try different strategies for each mission. Unfortunately, console gamers have historically not had the same patience as PC gamers and may get frustrated attempting to finish the missions.
The graphics also may frustrate console gamers as the focus of this game is the strategy element. The graphics aren't bad with well developed backgrounds, but the commandos are small and not detailed well. In addition, icons are used throughout the game to select an action for a specific commando. These icons are extremely difficult to see and it takes some time to get used to recognizing the action of each icon. This game requires more patience then the average console game, and strategy fans will probably be the only ones that fully appreciate it. Although it is good to see different genres coming to the Playstation 2, Commandos 2: Men of Courage has a few issues that keep it from breaking into the mainstream.
