Commandos 2 alone is worth the price
To say the most important words first: Commandos 2 is the best real time tactic game ever. Every single mission is crafted with many details, there are countless ways to solve problems, there is much variety in the locations (you'll be in Europe as well as in Asia) and the missions are interesting and varied too. The graphics still look beautiful, despite the game's age, and it's a real pleasure to explore the big locations. You lead a group of commandos behind enemy lines and try to sabotage the axis' war efforts. Every one of your commandos has different abilities and weaknesses, so you'll have to combine them to get the best result. The enemy forces generally absolutely overwhelming, so a "direct" approach is always the wrong way. Instead of fighting your way in a place, you'll have to carefully study the defenses, the patrols, the searchlights, watchdogs etc. to figure out the weaknesses of the place. There is something strangely meditative in creating your perfect plan. And if it works, you'll feel really rewarded. A wonderful, difficult, but enormously motivating piece of gaming history that stays unique in it's genre. Highly recommended! Oh, and forget Commandos 3, I don't know why, but they managed to cripple the controls completely in this part and added more "action" instead of sneaking. Never played it more than some missions.
