Commandos 2: Men off Courage

Commandos 2: Men off Courage is a Video game of infiltration, developed by Pyro Studios, left on PC, PS2 and XB in 2001.

Ports

  • a version for the Dreamcast was envisaged but cancelled in July 2001 taking into account the turning which the market of the console took.

Gameplay

Awaited continuation of famous the Commandos, Commandos 2 takes again the bases of this last while strongly improving the gameplay. The player always directs a team of commandos during the Second world war who must achieve various objectives by infiltrating in infested places enemy soldiers, the whole in air sight in order to have an overall picture of the situation, the possible interactions with the environment are more numerous and, if each commando has his own faculties, they from now on are specialized in their actions (for example, any commando can from now on carry a body, swim, or cover a enemy Uniforme), which is more logical even if that removes a large part of the difficulty expensive to the purists of the kind.

Graphics were obviously brought up to date, with a passage to the 3D allowing the rotation of the camera under four different angles. It is from now on possible to see what it occurs inside the buildings and to circulate freely in the various parts.

Also, three new commandos make their appearance (see the section characters ).

Characters

  • the robber, nimble and fast, who can thus infiltrate very easily in enemy territory but cannot however not control the enemies effectively that it strikes.

  • the dog which can transport various objects of one corner to the other of the chart without being constrained by the soldiers. Its role remains enough limited in the history.

To note

A few days after the Attacks of September 11th, 2001, the editor Eidos Interactive caused some reactions in England following a advertisement for Commandos 2 on Mobile phone asking each one to move towards his soldier recruiter to carry out his second Military service. A former serviceman denounced the distress which such a message at the people could generate who received it on their mobile.
