Commandos 3 or Hidden & Dangerous 2?

A capsule review of what you thought would be appreciated as I'm trying to decide between the two.
I'd appreciate a bit more than "it crap!!!!" please, why you did or didn't like it.
I loved Commandos 2 but have heard mixed things from reviews, but nothing from anybody that's played the thing.

Hidden & Dangerous 2 I've never heard of. Except the demo is fantastic and wonder if the game stands up to that or have they shot their wad to entice you to spend on rubbish?

Cheers

I've found all the commando games to be quite tedious, there is little flexibility in them, and I don't find them enjoyable.

Commandos 2 was absoloutely utterly genius, and I've heard that CM3 isn't nearly as good.

If you hadn't lost/quit your job, I'd say both. But go with H&D2. Then Commandos 3 later.

Commandos 3 is superb, you can't go wrong with it. The element of stealth isn't always required like it was in the original and the expansion but when its required it pits itself as one of the most challenging yet highly enjoyable games on the PC. Beware though the screen resolution is fixed at 800 x 600 and the controls can be very difficult to get to grips with if you are a vetran of the first 3 games. None the less its one of my favourite games on the PC, great fun to play yet immensly challenging at the same time.

As for Hidden and Dangerous, I enjoyed the demo and the full version will be mine soon. It throws a different perspective on the action and it really is all down to personal preference as to which you prefer. I personally enjoy the Commandos style games more.

If you want stealth, but with more action, get H&D 2. If you want a game based even more around stealth, get Coomandos II.

Never played Commandos 2 nor have I played H&D2 (yet), but I can tell you H&D1 was totally awesome. From what I've seen of it, H&D 2 will be just as totally awesome. Urm I'll post some reasons and stuff later but I'm in a rush.
