Pros: Good graphics, perfect AI, “silent strategy” gameplay concept, tons of extra mission free on the net
Cons: Too small units can be difficult to select, lack of music
Summary: A game like Commandos is hard to classify, but it's closest to a real-time strategy. It’s not a classic RTS in the sense of the so common “build some c.r.a.p, then build more c.r.a.p to protect your initial c.r.a.p” philosophy, but it’s still in real ... read more

Pros: Good graphics, challenging stages, cool characters to play.
Cons: Some stages are a little too difficult, and controls are sometimes tricky.

Pros: Lengthy play time. Good fun.
Cons: Only playable once or twice.

Pros: Great looking, great atmosphere, very involving
Cons: Occasional A.I. hooters, a little difficult
Summary: STYLE
Watch one of those old WWII movies, such as 'The Eagle Has Landed'. Then play this game. In terms of atmosphere and sets, they are very similar. This game, surprisingly for software that doesn't have to be pushed through a 3D accelerator ... read more

Pros: Addictive gameplay, clever puzzles
Cons: Slow reload times, annoying sound
Summary: Probably the closest cousin to Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines in terms of the reason for its success as a game is ... Lemmings. Yes, you heard me right, Psygnosis' old classic, Lemmings. In Commandos, you have to stare at the maze of patrols, roadblocks, ... read more

Cons: Extremely hard!
Summary: Okay, i think this is a very intricate and thought out game, but i can't get far at all. They made it way too easy to die in this game. I killed a grand total of 3 guys (not including my people) by the time they killed me. Maybe it's just me, and I ... read more

Pros: Repetitive movements in same phases (sometimes)
Cons: Gotta act quick, sometimes, too quick!
Summary: Commandos is definitely a challenging piece of work. It is time consuming and it is not a breeze to play. It takes the use of mind, and consciousness to play this game. This is one of the better games I have battled with! It's not a game that can be ... read more
