Commandos by Eidos as a strategy game is a new breed of cat. Whereas most strategy games require resource collecting, structure building and an eventual mass destruction of the enemy, Commandos relies on none of these strategy game elements. Commandos, very simply, is probably the most pure strategy game on the market. It's very simply about commando warfare. Commandos is sequence based and includes some mighty tough assignments.
Assignments can include anything from commando raids to reconnaissance missions.
It will be left up to the player to decide whether it is a challenge or annoying. Those requiring careful timed objectives can make one feel grateful that World War II wasn't fought on a computer or we'd all be sons of the Fatherland. However, for Commandos to be effective it is necessary that it not be too easy. They accomplished this with little room to spare. It's easy to see that Commandos doesn't set any standards but the graphic illustrations are masterfully well done.
