Commandos 2+3

I was very interested in purchasing Commandos 2, until I read that it doesn't come with subtitles especially for cutscenes. That's not fair to a hearing impaired player, being excluded without recourse (can't learn to hear)... I think all game developers should add subtitles in the language also spoken by default. What if mission critical information is included in cutscenes? Commandos 3 may have subtitles but is not as good as Commandos 2. Steam notes that Commandos 2 and 3 has no subtitles, but I've read somewhere that subtitles was added to Commandos 3 later on. This is useful information for hearing impaired players. However, I'm deducting 2 stars automatically because without subtitles, I get only half value out of the game (where's the plot?). If you could only get half value out of the game, you'd surely give it 3 stars or less even if you played it. Far Cry had the same issue (no subtitles in cutscenes), which left me initially baffled about what the overall plot was even though I loved the gameplay. 3/5 stars

I've only played through Commandos 2 and have to say, I don't think it's as good as the first game. They added tons of new stuff like flamethrowers and smoke grenades for your men to use and the levels are very, very large (though there are only ten of them, plus two tutorial missions and some minor bonus missions). But the designers seem to have been over-ambitious and the level design suffers from this. Unlike the very difficult but immensely fun first Commandos game, Commandos 2 isn't very challenging, even on the highest difficulty setting. But it gets boring and tedious very quickly and becomes a rather mindless slog through the overly large levels. After the brilliant first Commandos game and its excellent expansion Commandos 2 was a dumbed-down disappointment. I haven't yet played much of Commandos 3 apart from the demo version but in some ways it seems to be even worse, with a clunky interface and time limits on the missions.

One of my best game EVER

So insane !

Great game for its age!
