I remember beeing 6 years old, watching my dad play this game while eating peanuts. Great game, so many memories.
I bougth it on ebay a while back when i had windows 8, and it lagged really hard., so im woundering if it works on windows 10, does anyone know ?
This one proves, that lovely drawed isometric grafics can be more moody than cold 3d rendering.
In my opinion it is even better than commandos 1, because you'll get a whole storyline between the mission.
The good - The artwork and level design are top notch. First few missions are challenging and fun.
The bad - Gameplay quickly becomes very repetitive. Maybe I just don't play this game as it should be played, but levels end up taking me forever to complete, and I spend most of my time repeating the same actions over and over again. Non-existent friendly AI, meaning your other characters won't do anything unless you tell them to. So instead of having to worry about your current character, you have to be all over the place at the same time. Cinematics are in exactly the same style as Diablo 2's cutscenes. These however don't appear nearly as polished.
The ugly - Voice acting is abysmal, and like the storyline, is filled with stereotypes. Oh, Mexicans saying CARRRRRRAMBA every 10 seconds? How witty. None of the voice actors even speak spanish, so get ready for the worst fake Mexican accents you'll ever hear in a game. How many times can Sam finish a sentence with "TEEEHEEE?" Too many. Or how about Sanchez' special ability - leaving a tequila bottle around so the bad guys can get wasted? Pure genius. When the credits finally rolled, I realised that this game was made entirely by Europeans. Is this the notion that they have of the wild west and its denizens? I shudder to think.
Anyway, if you're greatly appreciative of fancy hand-painted backgrounds and the commando-style gameplay, this is the game for you. Otherwise, skip it entirely. CARRRRRAMBA!
