The difficulty spikes quite early and there will be a lot of trial and error as each mission becomes more challenging and involved. War is unforgiving, and it’s no different in Commandos 2. Both games are played in the angled top-down isometric view, and while the controls do work, it’s not refined by any means a problem many RTS games have on console.Ĭommandos 2 places you behind enemy lines in World War II where a group of, well, commandos, must stealthily complete their missions and turn the tide of the war.

While textures and resolution seemed to have been improved, it seems as if the animations didn’t get the same upgrades, as movement is very stuff in both games, especially Praetorians. Both have had updated graphics, though you wouldn’t know it unless you’ve seen how dated the original releases appear. Commandos 2 is set in World War II and has you behind enemy lines whereas Praetorians is set further back in the Roman Empire. Originally developed by Pyro Studios, this double pack includes two different RTS games, but each is wildly different from the other. While they’ve been ‘console-fied’ for a new audience, they absolutely show their age and makes for an odd console experience.

Truth be told, I’ve seen the game covers before but have never played either one. Commandos 2 & Praetorians HD Remaster Double Pack brings Xbox players two classic PC strategy games from the early 2000’s that I didn’t know had so much of a following that it warranted the HD Remaster treatment. Some of these are long awaited and done very well, while others have simply some upped HD-like textures and call it a day. It seems the last few years has had a major focus on gaming remakes and remasters.
