Tutorials take the form of small hints during gameplay, but often don’t cover important aspects like abilities and items. For example, in the very first tutorial mission, you are told how to detect mines with his metal detector, but not how to use the cigarettes he has in his inventory. Besides that more advanced commands, like gadgets and special abilities, are not covered in the tutorial, the fact that when a new commando appears in a mission its special ability doesn’t get explicated is confusing, to say the least. For a player that returned playing the game after (too many) years, the tutorial helped to learn the basic commands, but they are not enough for a newcomer, not by a long shot. The first two levels you’ll play we starting Commandos 2 are the two training camps: these act as tutorial levels… without actually telling you very much.
