    Default commandos

    My Brother bought Commandos and I have gone over there a few times to play it. He loves it, I have only played it for a few hours but I think from what I have played of it that i'm gonna buy it. I have never played the pc version so i don't know how to compare them. My first impression of the game was not good. It seemed very hard and complicated but after about an hour I was catching on and found myself not wanting to leave his house. It is by far the most challenging game i have played so far on the xbox. very deep game that i think is worth the price because you won't beat it for a while.

    It's a good game if you like a challenge and don't play games off graphics.

    Commando's 2 is a must buy in my opinion. It is very hard, but I like a good challenge once in a while. The Graphics aren't terrific, neither is the sound, but IMO the gameplay more than makes up for that. The control is a tad off at first, but after a long time playing it you get used to it. I command you- GO OUT AND BUY THIS GAME AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!
    Poor Delta...I hope she gets better quickly.

    I picked Commandos up last week but just started playing it last night. Spent a good 45 min on the tutorials and getting used to the controls. Full use of the xbox controller... every button and trigger is used... some have multiple uses wich can get confusing. After the basic tutorials, there are 3 tutorial missions... I'm still playing those. It's VERY hard so far, but once I master the controlls, this game is gonna be sweet! It's a great break from the shooting, racing, adventure games. Well worth the $$$.

    that's cool, but i would really like a turn based strat game also !!

    Gladius looks like it might be worth it (when it is released)

    anyone play Front Mission 3 for PSX. That was a great turn based mech strat game by squaresoft.

    Magazine and web based reviews are helpful and also can be very informitive but I also like to get the end user impressions. I am getting this game and I thank you all for your input. I was half convinced to get this game from reading reviews and looking @ screenshots but you guys have helped alot too. C-Ya on XBOX Live!!!!
