The control of a commando on a screen where enemies can enter from any angle lends itself surprisingly well to a dual-stick arrangement which otherwise might be more familiar in a Geometry Wars clone the left stick controls your character itself, whilst the right stick controls where he's shooting. Very similar to 1990's Mercs (but with lots of nods to the 1985 original), Commando 3 charges the player with traversing linear levels packed full of enemies gaining acess to better and better weapons as they go - all very handy since the enemies and the level layouts constantly increase the challenge as you progress. Like those earlier games, Commando 3 is an isometric shooter where the player takes control of a commando and uses them to unleash massive quantities of ballistic material at the various bad guys. Yes, it might have an odd subtitle (Wolf of the Battlefield is a literal translation of the Japanese name, which might be a little less odd in that language).īut Commando 3 (no relation to the Eidos Commandos series) is a title which should tug at the heart strings of anyone who has played either the original Commando (arcade and pretty much every 8 & 16-bit console / home computer of the time) or the (utterly excellent) sequel, Mercs. GUNG HO: Commando 3 is an excellent shoot 'em up game from the Xbox and PlayStation's online service.
