The whole Commandos success is a mystery to some. The insane difficulty for beginners and the repetitive gameplay motif of 'throw cigarettes, knock out the Nazi and hide the body' means that not everybody can appreciate this sequel, the pinnacle of the series and one of the best WWII games ever made.
Don't be fooled into thinking it's an RTS, mind - that way lies disappointment. Instead, Commandos creates a genre all of its own, often imitated with poor results, in which vast, intricate maps are filled with puzzles that can only be solved with observation, cunning and perfect timing.
The different skills possessed by each of your commandos (the spy can distract, the thief can climb through windows and so on) gives you plenty of options whentrying to think yourself out of a tricky situation. Your closest ally, though, is the quicksave button: you will fail a dozen times each step of the way before getting it right. But then, that's half the fun.

What really makes this a magnificent title though, is the detail that brings each scenario alive. The scale might be tiny, but the levels feel huge, with Colditz Castle, the Eiffel Tower and other locations brought to life with flair and imagination. These design touches make each assignment exciting, like using bait in tropical waters to attract fish to camouflage you from enemy divers. Forget Commandos 3 and get this for a fiver.
