Video Game Reviews of Supreme Commander Gold Edition
Customer Review: Another fine RTS game from Chris Taylor
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Total Annihilation ever since it came out (and the expansion units made it even better), and Supreme Commander continues the tradition, improving on it in important ways and changing the nature of the game in other ways.
There isn't any "flash rushing" here, it often takes minutes before a first assault can begin and the early defensive structures do an admirable job of fending off weak attacks, this game is far more defensive and tech oriented than most multiplayer games of TA turned out to be, but there are many ways to play, much more variety than in typical TA tactics.
This is not a quick game - expect any game to last 15 minutes if attempting to play quickly, hours with defensive tactics.
Pros:
Fun multiplayer game, as long as you don't let every game stretch into a multi-hour epic struggle, that just leads to burnout :)
Fun skirmish (AI) mode, with several AI modes to choose from.
Many interface features that make managing massive armies a more tractable problem, especially the splitscreen features.
The experimental units are just awesome, it's always a race to build one to see what it can do to the opponent's base.
Cons:
The singleplayer campaign is basically a write-off, skirmish mode is much more fun.
This game stresses ANY computer to its limits, it gets pretty sad when the game is running in slow motion because one of the players has a computer that can't keep up.
Overall:
Play skirmish and multiplayer, build infrastructure fast, do a bit of rushing with certain units, race to the experimentals, and this game will give you one great play after another.
