commandos 3

[mabufo]

Has anyone ever played this? Why is it so impossibly hard?

[Quendae]

Maybe it's me, but even the first one was hard, especially last levels... didn't play third anyway, maybe someday...

Commandos 3 is the EASIEST game from the Commandos series. I finished

the game in the very same day I bought it. In my opinion it was a huge

dissapointment, the game was nowhere near as good as Commandos 2.

Anyways if you've played Commandos 1 & 2, then Commandos 3 should be

a piece of cake.

[Erratic]

Part 2 kicked my ass. I don't think I got past the 4th or 5th mission. Good game though...Just wish I had more patience with it. Never played 3 however, just the nature of those games I guess. Not for the casual gamer. Or the faint of heart, or those with high blood pressure.

<3 Commandos 1 & 2. ;< but as JAL said, I found the third game to be a little dissapointing. :F

[BioPulse]

Yes, I think the third game had it's difficultie level adjusted to somewhat lower standards, shame because I always liked the challenge Commandos games gave me, the first 2 were pretty hard

[Gorion]

ooooooooh commandos, i just loved that serie

1 was pretty hard, 2 was really hard at the end and 3 was just a waste of time.

"consider it done"

Commandos 1 and its expansion pack were pretty difficult, but Commandos 2 took the absolute piss. Not only were the maps bewilderingly huge, but they were packed with enemies -- indoors and outdoors -- that were placed in the worst locations ever.

Incidentally, I decided to replay the Metal Gear Solid games recently and was amazed at how much it reminds me of Commandos when you play it in hard mode.

In normal mode it's a pretty good stealth game, but fuck me hell. I tried playing it on hard last week and it feels more like Commandos 3D; the enemies can see further, they can hear better, they do more damage, and it's just generally reminiscent of the "it takes an hour to get past two guys" gameplay of Commandos 2 where you watch them for ages to try and find the weak point.

If you like Commandos and never played MGS, get Twin Snakes (superior total remake of MGS1 for the GameCube). If you don't have a GameCube, get MGS3 (enhanced Subsistence edition) for the PS2 that is actually a prequel to MGS1 and thus makes total sense anyway, and is the most Commandos-like in the series thanks to its jungle/fortress/mountain action.

Commandos 1&2 were some quite nice games.

[Warby]

i remember i made it to the very last mission in commandos 1 and never could beat that one without cheats never touched the sequels

[Mazy]

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!?

[Grin]

Commandos 1 was waaaaayy harder than 2. I never got behind like.. 3rd mission or something. Commandos 2 went through pretty easily.

But they're both _really_ fucking amazing games.

..I didn't even know there was 3..

[Kakburk]

I agree with Mazy, the latest Commandos game ( a la "strike force" or whatever ) is the devil. It's not even good if you compare it to the earlier Commandos games-- atleast if you ask me. :F
