The difficulty level is by now almost legendary, and you'll experience a fair share of frustration as you play each mission 87 times, saving every time you take a step and stay alive.
You would think that to belong to such a select group of experts you should be able to drive and use a machine gun and know how to swim. The fact that each of your men has specific skills (sniper, driver, diver.) adds a lot to the tactical element, if not to the realism. The control system and interface could have been a lot more user friendly and less fiddly, saving thousands of lives (or the same ones over and over) in the process.
Playing this sleeper hit from 1998 now, you realise how true the statement that Hidden & Dangerous is a 3D version of Commandos really is.
