#COMMANDOS 2 GAME PC#

I was excited to play Commandos 2 again after all these years, but sadly, IвЂ™m left disappointed with the console port. Yes, it may afford you a little accuracy in moving from one spot to another, but controlling more than one team member at a time is frustrating and, again, caused many a mission to go south. Here, you have to move characters around using the left stick, which just feels wrong. Having that minute control with a mouse is what made the original version so good.

The gameplay of the original is intact, but itвЂ™s not a great fit for consoles. It makes spotting enemies a pain in the arse and IвЂ™ve had many a mission go south because I didnвЂ™t see a guy hanging out behind a wall or building. The camera is pulled in too close and the general camera controls arenвЂ™t all that great, with the only option being to rotate the camera around your soldiers. And the presentation is also a hindrance. The controls are fine, but theyвЂ™re not for me.

Mastering the different skills is essential, and a lesson I quickly re-learned вЂ“ not that it helped me all that much.ДЇor the life of me, I just couldnвЂ™t get invested like I used to. The Scrapper can lay explosives, and the Green Beret is tough as nuts. The Thief is agile and can sneak around quickly. ThereвЂ™s a cast of characters who all have their own unique skills. That said, thereвЂ™s always an вЂњoptimalвЂќ way that turns out to be the easiest. The levels are generally quite large and there are often multiple ways to complete an objective. IвЂ™ll admit that IвЂ™ve not come anywhere close to finishing the game, and IвЂ™ve even had to consult a few online guides. For some this may be boring, but for us old school players, itвЂ™s sweet. You need to take note of the objectives and then find the path of least resistance. Rarely will you be able to play a mission through to the end by running in all guns blazing.

I didnвЂ™t find myself using it often, but it was comforting to know that it was there.Д¬ommandos 2 is a strategy game where you lead small teams behind enemy lines., ItвЂ™s not an all-out warfare game, but more about stealth, strategy, and careful execution. WhatвЂ™s really handy is that thereвЂ™s a dedicated button to bring up the help menu at any point during play to give you a reminder of the controls, complete with an on-screen overlay. ItвЂ™s weird playing with a controller, and it doesnвЂ™t offer the same accuracy or intimacy as playing at a desktop computer, but itвЂ™s functional. The controls have been revamped for modern gamers, too, and theyвЂ™re alright. You get higher resolutions and a cleaner image, but by and large, youвЂ™re getting the exact same game, except with new bugs. And no, IвЂ™m not going senile with old age.Д¬ommandos 2 HD Remaster is, as the name suggests, a remaster of the original game. But here and now, some 16 years later, IвЂ™m not so sure if I can trust my memories. I shouldnвЂ™t have, given the age rating, but I did, and I loved it.

I played Commandos 2 back on the PC when I was a young teenager.
