it's very unforgiving, but there is a definite satisfaction in pulling off a mission properly. in fact, this is one of those games where I had to "prepare myself" beforehand before playing. but i have issues with a game that makes me go through such an emotional rollercoaster when i'm just looking for entertainment.

anyhow, commandos 1 is not too tough, most of them anyway. there are now some good walkthroughs available (i helped make one of them) if you want to see the game without having to commit. it definitely takes a lot fo saving and reloading to figure things out.

it did for me, anyway.
