Commando 3 for PSN/XBLA News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

18 October, 2007

Snuck in around the edges of Capcom's fancy Gamers Day in London this week was news of Commando 3 for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.

Developed by Backbone Emeryville, it's due to cost 800 Microsoft points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.30) on XBLA and USD 9.99 on PSN when it pitches up this winter.

According to Capcom's press bumf, Commando 3 is indeed a follow-up to the '80s shoot-'em-up originals, and allows up to three players to partake in a bit of blasting.

You'll get to take on the varied roles of the game's diverse playable characters - Animal, a former marine, Smoke, a female covert-op, and Boomer, an explosive-loving grump - and deploy power-ups like "deadly M-Crash superbombs", with controllable co-op vehicles to master and an adjustable difficulty level in case you're pants.

Naturally we're also told to expect online leaderboards, so everyone can measure just how pants you in fact are, or just how much Kristan is holding you back.

There's always room for more co-op shooter on XBLA!

I remember the C64 version of Commando, not the game particularly - it was OK - but rather for Rob Hubbard's superb music. Yeah, sorry, I'm that old! /oops

I loved commando, way better than Ikari warriors, and mercs was astonishing on the megadrive, (I didnt realise that was the commando sequel)...I am really excited, but I suspect they'll ruin it :(

Man I thought this was Commandos also. But Commandos 3 wasn't that good, the original was the best imo!

Commando was the top down scroller where you had to dodge about 100 bullets on screen while lobbing grenades at nazi machine gun nests right?

Right. But it wasnt Nazis. More like "unidentifieable army guys always facing down"

I was shocked to discover that Commando was supposed to have 8 levels, instead of the 3 on the C64 version. Not exactly arcade perfect.

Dammit, I thought this was Commandos.

It's some shitty scrolling shooter sequel to an 80s shitty scrolling shooter. :(


Much rather have Commandos.

I like.

Glad I'm not paying anywhere near £6.80 for 800 points - too!

2100 for £14 more like
