There's a nod to the final battle of Saving Private Ryan, a few choice moments from Where Eagles Dare, plus a rather famous bridge across the river Kwai (hopefully your task is to blow it rather than build it). Pyro are aiming for approximately 70 to 80 hours of gameplay, so the number of missions could change from the planned 12, but considering the size of the levels (one even accurately maps the entire grounds of Colditz Castle) that seems unlikely.Īs well as the Colditz mission, there is plenty that borrows from the war movies of our youth. Officers will point and shout and will always graciously let his NCOs into a room before himself - usually into a hail of bullets - fun to watch if nothing else. The intelligence of the Germans has been beefed up considerably, with a noticeable difference in behaviour between the German ranks. Obviously, such troops, though handy in firefight, shouldn't be relied upon to do a commandos work. The idea, it seems, is to give players a few characters at whose loss the game doesn't have to be restarted. Three new characters will be making their debut (a thief, a lady called Natasha and, maybe, a dog), as will a number of walk-in parts from regular soldiers, which players will be able to control, albeit with limitations. Returning for a second tour of duty are the characters from game one, each of whom will have been through some extra training, meaning they'll have new skills to make use of - such as being able to swim underwater. As before, the aim is to get your covert specialists through the war alive, and at the same time save prisoners, blow bridges and generally disrupt the German war effort from behind enemy lines. I love how even though the game is difficult, it is not unfairly difficult.Īnyway, Commandos 2 is coming out and it looks great.

It is the kind of thing that sounds simple and easy, but it is so deep and engrossing that you will be hooked.

Your commandos need to be moved into position and you need to make use of their unique abilities to complete each mission. There is also a couple of training missions that teach you the basics of the game, but these are a lot of fun and ease you into things.Įach mission is like a puzzle, a puzzle that you have to figure out. 10 of these are “story missions” and then we have 10 special missions which unlock as your progress through the story. The Mission, It Is All About The Mission.Ĭommandos 2 Men of Courage has over 20 missions for you to do. Each mission gives you a subset of commandos to use and it is up to you to figure out how to do so. The Thief is great for getting into tight spaces and then we have Whisky who is a dog and he is awesome. There is the Seductress who can use her “female” ways to get her way and also use her abilities as a sniper.
