Summary: Disappointment Plus
Review: After thoroughly enjoying Commandos 2, I looked forward with great anticipation to Commandos 3 only to be greatly disappointed. The characters and graphics are basically the same but the actual play is quite different.There are no varying levels of play so it seems everyone is playing at expert level which can make the game for average gamers very difficult and frustrating. The actual keyboard selections for actions seem more complicated and the loss of time in selecting the proper action often results in the gamer getting killed off and the game having to be re-loaded adding to one's frustration. The only positive I see in this game is any satisfaction the gamer might get in completing a mission. They all seem too difficult for the average gamer of which I am. The cost of the game is higher than the satisfaction received. I could not recommend it.

Summary: Pure trash
Review: Avoid at all costs. This game is pure trash, it has none of great story, diverse characters and involved thinking that put Commandos 1 & 2 among the best strategy games ever written. C3 has better graphics, equal music and NOTHING else. Controls are bad - the lack of weapon shortcuts make this game almost unplayable. There are no cutscenes between missions and most missions play out in a few locations. Gone are all the nice details from C2, like furniture items; you cannot hide in cupboards and you cannot hide bodies anymore.

Pyro would have done a better job had they just made some new maps for C2 and released that instead of this cr*p.

Summary: DirectX drivers
Review: Be advised that your video and sound cards must be DirectX 9 compatible to play Commandos 3, simply downloading DirectX 9 will not make the game run. I.E. The GeForce FX5200 video cards are compatible with DX 9. I can't fairly rate the game because I can't play it on my system, wish I had known this before I purchased it! Looks like a new graphics card is in order, I imagine this is the way most new games will be heading.

Summary: KC 's opinion
Review: I downloaded the demo I thought it wasn't bad.The graphics on the commandos arn't that good but the enviroment was grate. I have played the last 3 commandos game. Commandos 2 was very nice and I'm hoping when the full version comes out it will look better than the demo. I can't wait for C-3 to come out I have waited to long since C-2

Summary: A Huge Disappointment
Review: I had always been a big commandos game fan before I played this commandos 3. This game was not well both designed and planned, far from creativity and good. I was just surprise when I finished this game, which only took a few days and I said to myself, is that it? these are just only very few things that describe how bad this game is, which I believe there's still lots more.
(1) there's no movie/teaser in the beginning, no preface. It takes you directly to the option bars (single player, multiplayer, options, etc).
(2) it's the same as commandos 2, even worse, each level is very short and easy. I can't even consider it as commandos 2 expansion pack.
(3) there's no new characters; moreover, they threw away the driver, natasha, and the cool features that were in commandos 2 (dog, rat, etc)
(4) the ending is horrible, no movie (again)
(5) you can eliminate the enemies without bothering to do the "art of silence kill", because you can just ambush and blow them up easily without any trouble, as well as your money.

Summary: Not worth it
Review: I love commando 1 and 2 alot. I played commando 2 for more than a year and still love to play it with hardest and still beat the game with no alarm from the enermy. I install the commando 3 then I don't feel like to play it after the tutorial.
The control of the game is so bad that I don't wan't to lean and play the game. I wait until the expansion if any, and if they fixed then I will play. Otherwise, I won't play it and their rate from me will be less than a star.

Summary: A decent game.
Review: I really enjoyed this game to a point. Having played the other 3 Commandos games, I could not wait for this to come out. The graphics are better than the other games even when you zoom in. The other games got pixelly where as this one doesn't. If it does, it's time to upgrade (I played this on a pentium 4, 512 meg ram, 128 meg video card).

What I liked was the graphics, how challenging the game was, and the way the landscape changed making you change your strategy.

What I didn't like was the controls, no cutscenes leading up to the next level, and there wasn't alot of strategy involved beyond what I already metioned. There are no more hot keys to control which weapon you use and other funtions. that really hurts this game more than anything. The cutscenes and other "eye candy" things I can do without (though I really enjoy them), but the based on the other 3 games, the stratgey involved stinks. Not more sneak attacks or thinking before you act. You can go in guns blazing and not suffer like the other games.

I did enjoy the game, but with the controls and strategy they took with this game, it really hurt the game. This could have and should have been an awesome game. But all we are left with is an average game with a few really good levels. At this price (and probably lower would be better), I would recommend this game, especially to people who have played the Commando series. But definitely don't pay full price.
