Commandos 2: Men of Courage

"This is what to read for a what to spend money on decision"

This is my first review, i'v never thought about writting a review before but after playing commandos 2 i just coudn't let people that see it in shops pass it by thinking that it is even the slightest bit rubbish. I think everyone should know how good commandos 2 realy is so let's get on with the review.

Gameplay 10/10
This is where the game really shines,it's just pure brilliance. I'm not the type of person who loves war games but i am the type of person who loves a good stealth game and if you buy this game that's what your gonna get. If your more of a run in the room fireing an uzi into peoples skulls than you can pick up a mashetie or a flamethrower and watch the bodies pile. I'v got my fair share of blood splilling people killing medal of honour type games but with the huge variety of stealth you would forget you ever did have an uzi. The many different ways of outsmarting and especialy killing people would alone give you weeks of fun. But if you like stealth this is the game to buy and oh yeah it does have much more stealth than mgs2! Once you kill someone you can steal there guns, ammo, items/ciggerets, andyou can even steal there uniform and disguise yourself as an enemy soldier, if you you have a high rank unifrorm on you can give orders to lower rank enemy soldiers. once you've robbed the dead carcas you can hide it somewhere so no one finds it. Instead of killing someone you can punch someone and then tie and gag them, take the body somewhere far from enemies and shoot the living hell out of it. Bang Bang......BANG!!!

Controls 8/10
Forget what people say the controls are fine and throughout the game there is no cursor to move around just use the left analoge stick to move your men instead of having crappy point and click.

Graphics 9/10
On the backof the case the graphics might look a-bit rubbish but if you want you can zoom the camera in on your men in action. It's not as detailed as shooting at the wall and having the bullet hole stay there but it's still very graphical.

Sonds 8/10
I never judge a game on sounds so im not so sure if this is acurate but the audio and one liners from soldiers are often amusing but at times iritating.

Life span/value 10/10
The life span of this game is definently not too short but not too long to the extent that you'l get bored of doing the same thing in the same places over and over.
It also has alot of missions and bonus missions/cool stuff i have yet to complete theis game but i always try my hardest . Also it takes quite a while to complete a mission especialy since there is no easy mode just normal, haerd, and very hard mode.

All in all
In the end id say this is the game to buy whatever the price is. DO NOT RENT IT JUST BUY IT NOW! In my oppinion i think it should be a federal law to not have this game if a peson has a PLAYSTATION 2. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!......BUY IT!!!!
