INFORMATION
Commandos 3 Men of Courage It can’t be recommended over the
PC version, let alone wholly recommended in its own right, except to those
looking for an extremely tough PS2 action strategy game.
The direct approach isn’t always the best approach this
concept lies at the heart of Commandos 3 just as it did with its predecessor,
the innovative 1998 real-time tactical combat game that mixed elements of
stealth, action, and even puzzle solving in a World War II setting. Spanish
developer Pyro Studios’ visually stunning sequel takes the core gameplay of the
original, adds some of the features from the 1999 stand-alone expansion pack
along with plenty of great new ideas, and ultimately provides a highly challenging,
sophisticated experience that’s even better than the first. But be warned
Commandos 3 can be as intimidating as its premise makes it sound: You’ll
command a small group of elite Allied operatives deep behind enemy lines to
perform a series of important clandestine missions. At every turn, your
commandos will be avoiding the patrols of German or Japanese forces. It can be
a difficult game, especially at first, but Commandos 3 truly evokes the
intensity of the harrowing depictions of World War II that you’ve probably seen
in film or on television.
Your commandos will engage in multiple high priority
missions.
Actually, the game clearly alludes to the movies that
inspired it even the manual admits that the game has more in common with
fictional accounts of the war than with factual ones. If you’re familiar with
classic World War II movies such as The Guns of Navarone, Bridge on the River
Kwai, or even the more recent Saving Private Ryan, then you’ll easily catch the
references to these films in the game’s various missions. As in these and other
epic World War II movies, in Commandos 3 you’ll have to do such things as
rescue Allied soldiers, sabotage powerful sea vessels, assassinate key enemy
officials, get your hands on important documents, and much more. The objectives
are plentiful and varied and the game will take you to a wide variety of
real-world settings, but the overall number of missions in Commandos 3 seems
small: There are only 10 main missions in the game. You must play through them
all sequentially, even though they aren’t necessarily related to one another.
In fact, the relative length and difficulty of each mission doesn’t necessarily
increase from one mission to the next, either.
