Customer Reviews of Commandos 3

In terms of game play, the levels are less challenging, requiring far less strategy and nuance (you can go in gung-ho and kill everyone easily, unlike C2 which punished such impatience). I was disappointed at the lack of levels and the speed with which this game could be completed. The controls are no where near as easy to master or as intuitive as C2 was, plus key (and fun) characters, tools, weapons and techniques are missing from this edition.

In terms of overall presentation, C3 lacks the intros and cut scenes of C2, which, although not essential to the game, did add some appeal. Most disturbingly however where the sheer number of bugs in the game. I did eventually download the patch which fixed some of the issues (though not really to my satisfaction), but for a game of this calibre and one so anxiously anticipated by gamers across the world, so many bugs is unacceptable. There is nothing more frustrating than having to constantly reload your profile because the game has crashed and deleted your save-games. Grrr.

Overall, a very disappointing experience - not worth the money to buy it new and well worth an email to the makers to voice your disappoitment.

A decent game.
I really enjoyed this game to a point. Having played the other 3 Commandos games, I could not wait for this to come out. The graphics are better than the other games even when you zoom in. The other games got pixelly where as this one doesn't. If it does, it's time to upgrade (I played this on a pentium 4, 512 meg ram, 128 meg video card).

What I liked was the graphics, how challenging the game was, and the way the landscape changed making you change your strategy.

What I didn't like was the controls, no cutscenes leading up to the next level, and there wasn't alot of strategy involved beyond what I already metioned. There are no more hot keys to control which weapon you use and other funtions. that really hurts this game more than anything. The cutscenes and other "eye candy" things I can do without (though I really enjoy them), but the based on the other 3 games, the stratgey involved stinks. Not more sneak attacks or thinking before you act. You can go in guns blazing and not suffer like the other games.

I did enjoy the game, but with the controls and strategy they took with this game, it really hurt the game. This could have and should have been an awesome game. But all we are left with is an average game with a few really good levels. At this price (and probably lower would be better), I would recommend this game, especially to people who have played the Commando series. But definitely don't pay full price.

Not worth it
I love commando 1 and 2 alot. I played commando 2 for more than a year and still love to play it with hardest and still beat the game with no alarm from the enermy. I install the commando 3 then I don't feel like to play it after the tutorial.
The control of the game is so bad that I don't wan't to lean and play the game. I wait until the expansion if any, and if they fixed then I will play. Otherwise, I won't play it and their rate from me will be less than a star.
