The height of World War II. Both sides are struggling to be first to reach the ultimate power: the ability to split the atom. Nazi scientists are close to the prize, with the Allies in hot pursuit. But on the ground, only day to day survival matters. Enter your Commando squad — a crack team of three highly trained, incredibly deadly warriors whose job is to go where other soldiers fear to tread.

“Commandos Strike Force isn’t particularly successful at telling you a compelling story, either, though it seems to try. The three soldiers have their own distinct personalities, from the wisecracking Lieutenant Hawkins (the sniper) to the slightly aloof Colonel Brown (the spy). But their interactions during between-mission cutscenes often seem disjointed and awkward (not to mention surprisingly filled with profanity for a T-rated game), and the missions themselves aren’t always clearly related, so you really aren’t drawn in from any of these respects. At least the characters play fairly distinctly. The Green Beret is a pretty generic gunner, the sniper’s long-range rifle and throwing knives make him quite different, and the spy is able to take uniforms from dead enemies and infiltrate their ranks–he just needs to watch out for the piercing gaze of high-ranking enemy officers.”
