Supreme Commander 2

Love the original Supreme Command and the sequel Forged Alliance. Never played the single player campaigns in either game and only played them multiplayer at LAN parties. I was totally disappointed when I launch this game only to find out that the multiplayer component was missing... So if your like me and want to play this game multiplayer. Don't buy the GOG version, buy the Steam version instead which supports multiplayer. Hopefully GOG can get the multiplayer added back to this game soon.

Supreme Commander is the spiritual successor of Total Anihilation, meaning you control lots of units and engage in busy action across the entire map. What the screens above do not show you is the multi-monitor support, which turns your computer into a virtual battle station. Activate it to dedicate one monitor to a full screen map showing you exactly what is happening and where your units are, while additional camera angles on your other screens allow you to control multiple battlefields simultaneously. All factions feel unique and have their own style and story. The campaigns are entertaining and battles are satisfying. The tech tree is well rounded and unique for each faction. The AI does an okay enough job without being unfair. Add to that stable multiplayer support and you got the full package. Get it at a discount!

This game will undoubtedly get a lot of hate for not living up to its predecessor - which is completely true, it doesn't hold up, it doesn't even hold a candle to SupCom1 and its FA expansion. Now, I wouldn't say I'm the best person to review this game fully and properly, but I did want to at least throw my hat into the ring and let people know that the game isn't bad, it's just a sequel to a much better game that threw strategy away in favor of graphics. Mechanically this isntallment is much more streamlined (and brings factions back down from 4 to 3) If you don't know if this is the kind of game for you, go grab Total Annihilation then imagine it has Final Fantasy graphics. (TA is free at time of writing)

First of all, I own it on Steam, and at the time I bought the disc at a store, long time has passed. As you may read in other reviews, SupCom 2 is somewhat inferior to SupCom Forged Alliance, so I will not get into a comparison between the two games, only talk about this one, for those who don't know it. What is written in the description of the game is true, large armies, upgradeable units, good enough story, cool, big battle good to see and to fight. Interesting maps, really interesting experimentals units (some of them) for each faction (3), and not very hard to grasp. Yes, it is inferior to Forged Alliance, less complex and more noob-friendly (expecially resource management). Still, a very good game, it is fun, it shall entertain you for many hours, I recommend it.
