Horrible controls and lack of quality graphics makes Commandos 2 for the xbox a bad experience!
User Rating: 5 | Commandos 2: Men of Courage XBOX
Any Commandos fan who has played any of the previous titles knows for sure that the main characteristics that control your Commandos experience, and affects your game play are: 1) Quality graphics resolution: unfortunately, with the limited TV resolution (~500x400) makes playing Commandos on xbox a horrible experience in comparison with playing it on a PC in 800x600 or better 1024x768 screen resolution. 2) Keyboard layout: this is another problem for the xbox version, as the limited number of buttons the xbox pad forces using the same button for different actions. This -in comparison with the PC keyboard layout- hardens your ability to control your commandos, especially when you are fighting with the German soldiers. Difficult gameplay and low detailed graphics makes selecting xbox as a platform for any Commandos title a horrible choice. Better, like I did, go and buy the PC edition or buy another xbox game. Just don’t get my rating wrong; Commandos 2 is one of the best strategy games on PC, and I have finished it on the PC, but was hardly able to continue it on the xbox after finishing the first mission! I give Commandos on the PC a rate of 9.0, but for the xbox a rate of 5.0!
