Review, score: 9 out of 10. "Unquestionably a triumph, marking a great improvement over the last game... It relies on gameplay rather than on cutscenes and ephemera, and the variety and suspense of individual battles combined with the simple but effective campaign system mean that it will stay on a good many hard disks for a long time to come." (December 20, 2000)

Review, score: 80%. "Having played all of the Close Combat trilogies and real-time tactical imitators from other companies, I have to say that this rendition of Close Combat is definitely more polished than previous titles." (October 16, 2000)
