  1. 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.
  3. An underwhelming conversion can't quite obscure its brilliance. [XGamer]
  4. If you are patient and you are a hard core strategy gamer then you really cant go wrong with Commandos 2.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

    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.
