    The closest you’re going to get to a realistic war simulation. Oh yes there’s no doubt about it we’ve been waiting for Commando’s 2 for a long time and now it’s finally here we’re far from disappointed.

    The non-linear mission design and freeform gameplay mechanics allow for some truly imaginative play.

    An underwhelming conversion can't quite obscure its brilliance. [XGamer]

    If you are patient and you are a hard core strategy gamer then you really cant go wrong with Commandos 2.

    The developers have done a commendable job both of translating mouse-and-keyboard controls to the Xbox's stock controller and of not sacrificing the finer points of Commandos 2's extremely challenging gameplay.

    I cannot stress this enough—this game is difficult. You will get frustrated. If strategy games are not your thing, stay far away from this one.

    It's definitely not for the uninitiated. [Nov 2002, p.125]

    To describe the series of menus used here as "labyrinthine" would be to horribly oversimplify labyrinths. [Winter 2002, p.102]

    A good concept, a good game on PC, but really frustrating on Xbox.

    Story-wise, the game is interesting, but the difficulty of the missions themselves will probably serve as a massive barrier for the gamers who want to find out what happens next. [Nov 2002, p.142]

    Not a poorly constructed game at all, but more of an esoteric offering for the console gamer with exceptional patience and desire for a game that demands meticulous strategy. [Nov 2002, p.90]

    Frustratingly difficult, and even knowing what you need to do to succeed doesn’t mean you will, thanks to a horrible in-game map and unintuitive and difficult controls.

    Not bad , better than the first on the pc. Needs more levels, and more difficult ones.

    This is probably the best strategy-war game I have ever played.

    Good Game! graphics are impressives and sounds are better than gommandos 1, but it's little bittle too difficult.
