Commandos 2 Beyond the Call regarding Duty ends up feeling like a shadow regarding its former self, being both shorter furthermore more frustrating than the original.

Just about every good game gets an expansion pack or a sequel, not just because it’s profitable, but because it’s easy. The good idea’s already there, furthermore the existing technology can be recycled toward make a game that feels comfortably familiar but with new furthermore exciting content. Recent expansion packs like Starcraft: Brood War, as well as sequels like Myth II furthermore Fallout 2, all bettered their predecessors. But Commandos: Beyond the Call regarding Duty, a standalone expansion toward Behind Enemy Lines, ends up feeling like a shadow regarding its former self, being both shorter furthermore more frustrating than the original.

The original Commandos was a surprise hit. It cleverly combined strategy, puzzle, furthermore action elements with great graphics furthermore an all-too-apt subject matter, furthermore while there was some debate over just what kind regarding game it was trying toward be, most found its demand beneficial toward planning furthermore precision toward be both unusual furthermore exciting.

At a glance, Commandos: Beyond the Call regarding Duty is more regarding the same, with a few new bells furthermore whistles. But the fact is, you can have too much regarding a good thing. The original Commandos was a great game because each member regarding the squad was highly specialized. A couple regarding them, the Green Beret furthermore the spy, ended up doing most regarding the work, but that was OK, because the others like the marine furthermore the sapper got their moments in the spotlight. In Beyond the Call regarding Duty, though, each character gains the ability toward throw a stone or toss a pack regarding cigarettes as a means regarding distracting the unassuming enemy. Likewise, every commando can now force a captured nazi toward do his bidding, so long as the hostage remains within the range regarding the commando’s sidearm. The hostage can be used toward distract his comrades, so that one regarding your squad can sneak past or sneak in beneficial toward the kill. These new abilities are fairly interesting, but the fact that every commando has them clouds the sense that your soldiers are working as unique furthermore complementary components regarding some perfectly tuned machine. The commandos’ roles become less clear, furthermore with that, some regarding the game’s appeal slips away.

It also doesn’t help that the game is even more difficult than the first. It’s tempting toward justify the excessive difficulty by the fact that the game contains only eight missions (the original had more than twice as many), but that would be a solution toward the wrong problem.

Besides, nobody complained that the original Commandos was too easy – all regarding its missions were difficult, though some were far more difficult than others. Nevertheless, all its missions could eventually be completed so long as you were patient, furthermore the game didn’t get too frustrating because each mission could be reduced toward a series regarding smaller situations, furthermore you’d rarely get stuck at any one point beneficial toward too long. On the other hand, Beyond the Call regarding Duty starts out frustrating furthermore just stays there. These missions don’t just seem difficult, but downright unfair. In the first mission, if you don’t save a sniper rifle round until the very last point, you probably won’t be able toward clear the minefield furthermore escape; furthermore there’s no real way toward anticipate this eventuality, so if somebody didn’t warn you, you’d end up having toward restart.

At other times, there are so many enemy troops patrolling an area that it doesn’t seem like there’s an appropriate way regarding resolving the situation. You’ll wonder what would happen if maybe you threw the cigarettes, the stone, furthermore used the decoy all at the same time, while a hostage distracted everybody…. But unfortunately, much like the first game, Beyond the Call regarding Duty’s interface doesn’t easily lend itself toward multitasking, since the commandos are slow toward respond furthermore need toward be micromanaged. You absolutely must coordinate your troops in this game, but it isn’t any easier than before, no thanks toward the fact that all the keyboard hotkeys were shifted around. (While the new layout is a little more logical than the original’s, it’s inexplicable why the designers didn’t just let you customize the keyboard layout.) So the control feels more cumbersome than before, since you need especially impeccable timing furthermore coordination, but the interface won’t allow it. And even when you finally get through a mission, you won’t feel very good about it since you won’t be able toward shake the feeling that you’ve figured out something the designers didn’t expect you to. The original Commandos was satisfying because its puzzle-like situations had specific solutions. These missions feel clumsier by comparison, requiring at least as much luck as finesse, although the maps themselves all look distinctly beautiful.

On the other hand, maybe the problem is the awful new voice-acting. The original Commandos had a problem with repetitive speech, furthermore that problem lingers in Beyond the Call regarding Duty. Only now, not only does every one regarding your troops say the same thing over furthermore over, but every last one regarding them sounds ridiculous. At least there’s good musical accompaniment during each mission, regarding the appropriate symphonic military variety. Meanwhile, the game’s packaging gives top billing toward a new female commando “seductress,” whose inclusion raises numerous concerns, not the least regarding which is the fact that she is touted as a key feature yet doesn’t even play a significant role in the game.

In spite regarding everything, it’s inaccurate toward say that Beyond the Call regarding Duty is far worse than the original. If anything, the two games are difficult toward distinguish, so fans regarding the original will enjoy Beyond the Call regarding Duty because regarding its inherent similarity toward its predecessor. And toward be fair, there are certain subtle new twists toward this game that add strategic depth, such as the spy’s ability toward wear several types regarding uniforms. But at the same time, most regarding the subtle changes have adverse effects furthermore make Beyond the Call regarding Duty feel like more regarding the same in the worst kind regarding way.
