Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines (CBEL) was released on July 1, 1998. It was published by Eidos Interactive, and developed by Pyro Studios. It features 26 mssions (20 basic locations and six variations). The view is isometric with tactical gameplay. The graphics are beautifully rendered and the missions are nostalgically reminiscent of some novels/hollywood movies: 3rd mission(Reverse engineering): The dam-busting climax is similar to "Force 10 from Navarone" 4th mission(Restore Pride): Taking down the German villa (to cause confusion in the Wehrmacht's middle-level command) is akin to "The Dirty Dozen" 5th mission(): The cable car revives memories of "Where Eagles Dare" 14th mission(D-Day Kickoff): Destruction of coastal batteries with a bit of rock climbing..."The Guns of Navarone" 16th mission(End of the Butcher): An assassination mission like that in "Dirty Dozen: Next Mission" 18th mission(The force of circumstance): Blowing up the bridge, a la "The Bridge on the River Kwai"
