Now, I don't want to give the impression that Commandos 2 somehow fails to take advantage of the WWII backdrop and all the explosions and violence you'd rightly expect, but make no mistake: Men of Courage is a thinking man's war game. While there are no color-coded boxes to carefully arrange or conveniently shaped recesses to plug items into, the core gameplay behind Men of Courage is - dare I say - closer to that of a puzzle game. It's important to note that Commandos 2 is an action game more in appearance than actual practice. This makes for some challenging and nicely varied scenarios, not to mention an experience that'll keep you on your toes throughout. From covert stealth operations to full-out conflicts, the pace and feel of Commandos 2 can shift quite substantially, a feat often achieved simply by mixing up the selection of commandos available during each mission. Each of these commandos come equipped with certain skills and abilities, and every last inch of your progress will depend heavily on being able to use these unique characteristics to their utmost. Missing, that is, until Commandos 2.Ĭommandos 2 lets gamers take command over eight highly skilled operatives as they make their way from one key event and location during World War II to another. This promising military career came to a sudden halt once I discovered the Nintendo Entertainment System, a wonderful device that dished out comparable thrills without the hassle of actually having to use my own imagination. Armies of action figures clashed against the seemingly invincible Lego Empire, and epic battles tore across the playgrounds and backyards that comprised my small universe at the time. I was once, believe it or not, a general of great renown.
