Stripped of the strategic elements, this title is left as little more than an average first-person shooter with a smidgen of cool stealth gameplay.

Commandos: Strike Force does have some unusual ideas that it brings to the war first person shooter, such as peeking through keyholes and sneaking around strangling Nazis while dressed as one of them, but it's simply not enough to earn it a promotion through the ranks, not with so many great shooters out there.
60
The respectable Commandos series goes away from its RTS roots to a full-blown shooter, but loses much of the franchise's greatness in the transition.

War game with best soundtrack. Story is good too, controls simple and retro. Unique game that is better than overrated COD and Battlefield franchises. Only Medal of Honor can come close to this masterpiece.

Commandos Strike Force achieves the impossible - it's a wargame that's innovative and interesting to play. Switching characters in the middle of a battle keeps the pace high, while the solo chapters use each fighter and their skills to their fullest.

I'd say that fans of the series ought to check this one out, but those of us who've gotten spoiled by Brothers in Arms and Call of Duty will only see glimpses of that intensity and cinema.

It's certainly more of the same when it comes to the stealth action and FPS genres that it follows, and doesn't really rise above or try anything particularly new in order to provide that little bit of an edge that it needs to make it out of the realm of mediocrity.

Perhaps the Commandos series should stick to strategy gaming.

The WW2 shooter has been done to death, and this game doesn't do anything at all to breathe life into the genre.

The game is so immensely frustrating and linear that moments of fun are few and far between. [Apr 2006, p.124]
