Gameplay

Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is an arcade-style run and gun video game reminiscent of its predecessors but in a 3D perspective. The basic gameplay loop involves moving and dodging oncoming fire while strengthening one's own character with power-ups and new weapons, such as grenades or rocket launchers. There are rideable vehicles which can be operated by multiple players.

The game can be played with anywhere from one to three players: the playable characters being Wolf, Coyote, and Fox. One may play locally or in an online campaign.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. TeamXbox said, "Commando 3 definitely has its appeal, but a lot more could have been done to extend the gameplay or just make it feel more varied." Official Xbox Magazine said, "This three-player scrolling shooter has that old-school, spray-and-slay mojo that your inner rageaholic craves."
