I spend ages on the first Commandos, truly immersed myself in that game for months. And even with that said Commandos 2 blew me away. One of the best games ever made, think the lighter difficulty really helped in bringing in new people as well.
Thats why my disappointment with Commandos 3 felt so much greater. They just made Commandos 2 too good all round, plain and simple. Couldn't top it
. The levels I tried in 3 just wasn't exciting, 2 had much more energy and power.
Oh and dont get me started on that latest 3D one, I mean wtf!?
