Commandos....

It was a very fresh morning with the bright sun. My men are landing safe and we got a quick line-ups and checks and then the next seconds all of us are inside a farm house by a river. On the other side of the river there was a German Oil depot, we had to destroy this highly secured depot as it was a main feed for the German army movement. My team consisting of a Green Beret, a Sapper, Sniper, Driver and a Marine. We got no Spy and so we got to act wild with our guns. In our side of the river we had a small column of German Army patrols. Carefully locking the door behind us we approach them but unfortunately i led the Sapper hurl his grenade to the wrong direction. The German patrol who are so sensitive soon find us out and getting all of us killed in action. This was the end of Mission 2

As a real-time strategy games (depending on the WW II), To me this game Commandos is one of the best around. True, it is more puzzle based than most people would like, but there is a strong satisfaction in accomplishing each of the 20 missions. What adds to the appeal of this product are the graphics. Each mission area is beautifully detailed and line of sight is accurately modeled. Recalling the mission by the Beret and the Spy in a icy cold mountain, I was totally amazed that finding that I shivered under a Chennai hot summer.

Too many clickings for a particular items needed for this game and that is why others soon quit even before reaching upto 3rd mission out of the 20th mission. This finally left two of us racing till the last mission. Operation Valhalla!

I had been trying hard to win as i knew my competitor was a good gamer. And so with that race I installed the game in friends system to whichever i was frequent and had stored the game password in my mobile. This help me real fast from wasting time(!) and will soon acquire another password for the next mission!But even with that it went on for weeks as we both are not full timers to the game and we had completed mission by mission up till the 9th mission.Eventually we got holidays and again we both stick to it. My competitor who was laggin behind me with one mission in between us had now developed new styles of saving the game and was soon ahead of me by two. I followed hi suit and finally catch up with him again.It was in the last mission which i've completed first within a non-stopping 48hrs of playing (2days and 2nights). My competitor was in his 18th mission while i finished up the whole game...whoa!!

I was damn tired and had got a good rest in an armchair and in here not to mention the other things that happened to my face while i was sleeping peacefully!!;)

Aftermath:

I can't refrain myself from laughing/cracking when Divya imitating the Driver's voice. It seems so real for a female.

Calling her "Divya...Divya..'' promptly she'll reply saying.."Sir, Yes sir...I'll be right over there!!"

we all had a tummy blast when she'll concluded with the Hmmn Hmmn sound by the Green Beret

Another fella Richard ( a distinction class academician) who likes to watch me playing had the best oral copy of the lines by the Green Beret..the "consider it done''

(he adopt that phrase and thing are going easy...for instance, asking for him a treat..its always a consider it done one..Thank you Mr. Green Beret!!)

Jims system was the most victimised one for this game as not much application is loaded in that and besides gives the best sound effect!!
