    Overall, Squad Command is an excellent pickup for a strategy fan. You get a nice and difficult campaign to play through with a wide variety of weapons to rain destruction upon your enemies.

    Its turn-based tactical squad battles are a pleasure to master, even if they tend to be a bit short and shallow.

    It could and should achieve so much more - but frankly it achieves enough by making a specialist subject matter and a specialist genre as fun and accessible as it does.

    Turn-based strategy played safe. It won't offend but won't astonish. [Jan 2008, p.76]

    The gameplay had the potential to be really quite good, but its limitations – i.e. the interface – seem to be borne of the PSP’s shortcomings, which rather defeats the purpose of this being a handheld game. The best feature of Squad Command we have found is the multiplayer.

    The awkward interface remains a pain throughout. [Jan 2008, p.112]

    Warhammer fans: the ability to control classic Warhammer units may make this game more appealing to you, but anyone interested in the title should be extremely cautious before investing the time and money. The positive elements just barely outweigh the bad.

Plays like fallout, but with destructible terrain. Pros: Graphics, Interface,well designed maps, Mass destruction caused by plasma cannons. Cons: Short single player, Some guns feel over powered but don't negatively effect game play (you can clear a room with one shotgun blast), Camera controlls takes some dexterity to look over rubble (its turn based so theres no rush, no problem).… Expand

It seems like a trail in this release to me with the apparently undeniable huge potential Squad Command has - more races, units, mission types, and maybe more depth down in it's gameplay.… Expand

I'm a big fan of Warhammer 40K and developers of Red Lynx had big boots to fill after the fantastic job from Relic on the Dawn of War series. Let's get one thing straight, this game isn't bad. But, it's not great either. The controls are poorly considered, and the A.I. should be re-classified as Artificial Stupidity after the number of times my own squad members decided to blow up half my squad on occasion. Then again, it's not all bad, as more often than not the enemy decides to do the same thing to themselves. The game lacks polish and gives the distinct impression of being rushed in order to get on the shelves before xmas. The cut scenes are nice, and it's obviously where most of your effort went unfortunately. Sorry, Red Lynx and THQ, but you get a big F for Fail in the eyes of Warhammer 40K fans everywhere.… Expand
