Supreme Commander

I can't believe this game got an award. First, the graphics at the highest setting look extremely dated. There are games from the 90's that blow this out of the door. I was not impressed by the AI, which seemed 2 be random patterns with no real thought put 2 it.

The worst is the interface. As an Information Architect, you realize how bad an interface can make a game. When you get this game started, you'll realize there are dozens of buttons & icons that have no documentation & you can't use them, but they are all over the screen until you build up 2 using them.

I haven't seen a game this bad in a long time, & thought it would be a Total Annihilation upgrade. But if you expect smooth graphics & a 3-d semi-realistic environment you would have expected from some game so heavily plagarizing a best-selling game from the 90's like TA? Look elsewhere.

I had sworn off PC gaming 4 quite a while but let a friend talk me into picking this up 2 play. I had long been an FPS & RTS fan on the PC but since my Xbox360 entered the home the PC had been left alone as far as gaming was concerned. If you're looking 4 a game 2 get you back on the PC then this is it. Supreme Commander as well as the Forged Alliance expansion is top notch. I wont go into some massive review since there are pleny of sites out there that do a much better job. I will say however that this game is a 'big' RTS. By that I mean that you will have massive numbers of units in massive battles. I love playing this game & the expansion. I'd suggest it 2 anyone looking 4 a great RTS.

Not found in the above description, I keyed this in from the back of the box -

The title says it all, If you have never played a good RTS game, then maybe you will like this game, but 4 anyone who has played a game like StarCraft then you know how bad this game sucks. it was fun 4 like 2 hours or so, but i found it 2 be not very interesting at all. i only made it through like 4 levels or so before i had 2 call it quits. can you say boring. play World In Conflict instead. Maybe this is one of those games that is meant 2 be played multi-player only as it seems that would be quite enjoyable, but as 4 the single-player experience two thumbs down.

This game was a huge disappointment. The game was won't even work on my computer even though my computer meets or surpasses all of the required software. And I couldn't even contact the company. I would not recommend buying this game.

Supreme Commander is role-playing & strategy on a massive scale. It's the 37th century & three races have battled 4 100 years. This "Infinite War" is leaving the galaxy in ruins. This devastating conflict must end, & you've decided 2 be the one who ends it. Step into a leadership position & guide your race through incredible struggles - & their aftermath. Under your strategic command, only one faction will reign supreme. Will you be victorious & elevate your race 2 domination? Or will you lead them into defeat & ultimate extinction? Supreme Commander establishes a breathtaking new standard 4 sheer scope & scale of gameplay. Massive battles unfold across maps of unparalleled size & scope, as thousands of units fight 2 the bitter end.
