Reviews
Supreme Commander 2 is a pretty good game. But it's only really fun if you play with friends.
I got this game on discount and still regret it. The story was generic with no details I can even remember that would be of interest. You could probably make up the plot of this game yourself in about 3 minutes. The controls were awkward (I played on the Xbox360) the battles were repetitive and the strategy consisted of seizing resources and overwhelming the computer, even the levels where you were supposed to keep somthing from being destroyed consisted of this strategy. The voice acting can only be described as low budget and the graphics while not terrible were nothing that can show off the graphic capabilities of a nice PC or Xbox360. I can't for the life of me think of a good reason anyone should play this, there are so many better strategy games and life is too short to waste on poor videogaming. If you want to play a terrible generic game with no effort put into it's plot you can maplestory on line for free.
Another outstanding game from Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games! My kids and I have played this for hours and just had one fun hour after another. You can't go wrong buying this game. It's fun, deep, contemplative, and lots of action without being too rushed (*cough* C&C *cough*).
I've always loved one rts the most and that has been Command and Conquer Generals. I feel this game comes the closest of any other rts of living up to generals for me. I played the first supreme commander and it takes a lot of playing time to learn all of the depth of that game. The sequel has really streamlined some things and made it for me a lot more fun to play. I love how you can use the research tree to keep your opponent guessing what you are going to be building or defending your base. Some others have given this game a terrible review. The bad reviews come from people who loved the first game and all of the depth and micro management that comes with it. I love this game because it is about getting your troops up and fighting and does away but not completely with the micro management. I feel this makes the game much more acessiable to most gamers and its these changes that I love the most between the first and second game. If you loved command and conquer generals give this game a try. I think you will really enjoy it. I own both the pc and xbox version and I think both versions are very enjoyable.
First off when I tried to play this game it required a update which took several days to final get because their servers were haveing problems. When I finally played it I was less then impressed, the graphics are sub par and the game play was old hat. Do your self a favor and stay away from this game. Its a sad thing that most PC games are going in the direction of forceing users to be online in order to play. I have never used a pirated version of a game, but forceing me to be online might make me start looking for them.
