This game is absurdly difficult, and personally I like it that way. Commandos 2 is a slow, methodical, exercise in patience and resolve, leaving you in plenty of situations that can find you loading your save-game over and over again (possibly even hundreds of times) before reaching the conclusion. If you just so happen to dabble in the genre every now and then or plan on busting through a line of nazis with machine guns blazing, I can tell you right now - you're not going to like this game. Not designed in any way to be a 'pick up and go' type of offering, Men of Courage is assuredly aimed at dedicated strategy fans only.

And when I say getting used to, I'm talking about investing several hours of trial and error blunder sessions that could see 90% of Xbox gamers pulling their hair out by the roots.

An issue already mentioned with the far superior PC version released late last year, the incredibly complex control scheme will take some getting used to. Luckily, Commandos 2 allows me to do that for as long as I see fit, but not without a laundry-sized list of frustrations. Take multiple paths every time I play, and figure out the most effective method possible to become the biggest and baddest soldier on the planet. To be quite frank, I love the idea of being able to control the tides of a battle guerilla style. X-Com, Fallout Tactics, General Chaos, The Master of Monsters and a slew of other popular and forgotten entries litter my experience like mines on the beach of Normandy. So passionate about the genre in fact, that I'll even attempt the most anally reflective product the subset can manufacture. Break out your thumb sticks and thinking caps, and it's off to the show! Gameplay I'm a huge fan of just about any tactical strategy game. Putting you in control of a plethora of Dirty Dozen-type characters, the paper-thin storyline really only serves as a near-transparent bridge between the different stages and its locations, and the objectives are just as simple: Be it victory through hostage rescue, enemy elimination, or another method best left to the imagination, your squad has to swim, climb, run, shoot, steal, and crawl their way through a dozen massive scenarios that tell a not-so public story of World War II.

After a rather convincing full motion video showing actual footage of World War II, Hitler, and the British Special Forces, it's established that you are Sergeant 'Tiny' McHale, leader of the European commandos and one of the only offensive weapons that the early allies have against the Third Reich and its Japanese ally. Premise The idea behind Commandos 2: Men of Courage is pretty straight forward.

Might I add however, that it was a revelation that didn't come without its own modest share of perilous adventure and numbingly anxious bouts of reloading. Eventually, I figured out exactly what I needed to know (the answers are much clearer when you're not swearing at your television set in a dubious rage) and the responsibility of fulfilling my duties as an editor to help out our curious readers was a proposition I could honestly tackle. As much as I played through the game's many missions and daunting scenarios, I couldn't quite figure out if I liked the Pyro Studios-developed action-clicker, or just kept going for the end in a bout of pure determination. After all, I've been doing this for quite some time now, and weighing the good aspects with the bad has slowly become a natural process I undertake the second I play anything - regardless of its beginnings.Д«ut with the long overdue console unveiling of hardcore PC favorite Commandos 2: Men of Courage on the Xbox, I'm left with the distinct feeling of an impossibility to judge an almost indistinguishable gray area that leaves me scratching my head in wonderment and disbelief. A strategy and action fanatic to be sure, I would have thought going in that talking about a simple hybrid of the two genres would have been a walk in the park.

I'm going to come clean with it right from the outset: this is one of the most difficult reviews I've ever had to pen in my professional career.
