not as good as commandos but still it's a very good game with new features for any fans of commandos-style games
Soldiers is not a game that immediately reveals itself. It will require few hours of play before you feel compelled to play it out of your own desire. This will undoubtedly drive away a lot of players which is a shame because the game becomes much more enjoyable after the first few missions.
I recommend playing Commandos before going through this, as you'll be much more accustomed if you do. If you prefer to jump right in, don't skip the tutorials because gameplay is pretty complex even for people who played similar games.
This game is a very unique one. While the creative and useful feature that allows you to take direct control of a unit is nice.You can control the soldier directly. Select a soldier, press 'end' and you're in control mode.
The game's graphics are pretty well made.There are 4 campaigns (English, German, USA & Russian) with about 7 missions in each. I have completed all campaign missions.
The game is excellent if you are looking for a challenge because some missions can be hard. You should also save games frequently as you might lose half your force in one unexpected attack. There is usually more than one way to accomplish each mission.
One thing I didn't like was character designs. Unlike commandos series, Characters are very simple and without enough details and voice acting is poor. Briefing & mission description is a bit confusing. Take careful notice of the mission brief at the start!
Overall, I think it's a must play for any fans of commandos-style games.
