Commandos

Men of Courage




This is second part of serial Commandos. The game places the player in command of a squad of commandos and various allies as he sneaks behind enemy lines to accomplish his objectives. The action stretches from 1941 to 1945 and takes place on both the Western Front against the Germans and the Pacific theater against the Japanese.

There are 8 playable characters, each character has unique weapons and skills: 

Jack O'Hara, (The Green Beret) is the Irish sergeant with his signature codename "Butcher". In the game, he is the toughest and the only commando strong enough to lift heavy loads like fuel barrels and boxes. He can also stab enemies with his knife and bury himself in most soft surfaces.


Sir Francis T. Woolridge, (The Sniper) is a British operative under the name "Duke". In the game, he is the teams sharpshooter.

René Duchamp, (The Spy) a French operative known as "Frenchy". He can disguise himself as any enemy soldier or officer, and can not only distract enemies, but order lower ranking ones to look a certain direction or walk to nearby places. He cannot punch out enemies, but can use a poison syringe to daze, knock-out or even kill his opponents.


Natasha Nikochevski, (The Seductress) is a Soviet operative from Kyiv who is known as "Lips". In the game, she can distract enemy soldiers and dress as enemy operatives, but only when generals or SS are not present. She can also use a sniper rifle.

Commandos

Behind enemy lines



Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines is a real-time strategy war game which continues the series intense and addictive tactical combat. Take control of six different commandos, the Marine, Green Beret, Driver, Spy, Sniper, and Sapper, as you attempt to complete a variety of missions spanning across Europe and Northern Africa. Game was released on July 1, 1998. This is first part of a Commandos series.


What makes the titles in this series so interesting is the deep strategy and how you must use the special skills of each commando in order to complete the dangerous and difficult missions. For instance, you may have to send in the Spy to distract a guard as your Green Beret sneaks up to silently kill him with your knife or have the Sniper pick off a German patrol so your Driver can sneak in to steal a tank.


There are only a few slight issues which might turn off some players to Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines. The first slight issue was that there were the occasional path finding problems while driving vehicles, which did cause many huge problems but was slightly annoying at times. The only other issue was that the levels are quite difficult in many cases and can take several hours to figure out. Keeping track of your entire squad can get rather complicated and seem overwhelming sometimes as well.


 Look at this video from first mission:



Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines provides a very challenging and addicting strategy/action experience that will test your tactical skills as well as a bit of your dexterity and timing.
