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. 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 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. So it does feel like we've been waiting a long time. 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. 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. 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.
It's taken three years to get the sequel ready, but my patience has paid dividends. 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. When I first played Commandos back in 1998, I had no preconceptions. The gameplay is faster, more realistic and more action packed than ever before. You will drive new vehicles and fire new weapons. Take your commandos to new geographical environments including Asia, the Arctic, North Africa as well as Europe. However, enemy soldiers are smarter and more varied than ever and they will hear, see and even smell your every move! The player is given a huge new playing field and total freedom to explore as no corner is out of reach.Ĭommandos 2 features three new characters, who bring with them unique skills to help you defeat the enemy. 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 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. 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.Ĭommandos 2 is a tactical action/strategy game set against the backdrop of World War II. Players have much more control over their view of the map and characters are able to enter buildings in this sequel. Three new characters appear in this title - a tricky thief, a sultry seductress, and a clever canine. 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. 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. Commandos 2 is a sequel to the original real-time strategy games Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty.
