Supreme Commander Reviews

GREAT RTS.

Watching units move in this game is about as entertaining as watching hair grow, or an ice cube melt, I don't say paint dry because that's more satisfying to watch. You must see it to believe it. I have never seen an RTS with such a horrible pathfinding and it's compounded by an extremely slow unit movement speed. The game supposedly compensates this by giving the player the possibility to queue unlimited actions for every unit, but it turns the game into a semi-automated waiting simulator, where you just need to have bomber / fighter jets ready to intervene in case of an attack on your automated military transport airships. The process of taking ground units into cargo planes ( air transport units), which is mandatory to mitigate the broken pathfinding / sluggish movement speed and make this game playable takes so long, I thought it was a joke. You just queue orders for every transport airship to go back and forth from base to wherever you want to send your army / workers then you just sit there as you watch them slowly move your army across the map 2 units at a time for what feels like an eternity. What used to take a split second in C&C / RA from 1996 takes a solid 15 minutes in supreme commander and is more tedious by a factor of x10. The second mission took me 2 hours and 41 minutes, and it's not like a lot of stuff happens in that mission, it's just tedious, repetitive and excruciatingly slow. The economy system is unintuitive, but I admit I skipped half the tutorial because it is drawn-out and so boring I fell asleep halfway through it in each of my 3 or so attempts at going through it. Engineers (worker units) are also pain to manage effectively. On a positive note, it is satisfying to mess around with a squadron of 200 bombers.

Great game, better if you buy expansion as well.

A grate rts with alot to think about and very well made.

GLORIOUS, JUST GLORIOUS. I got the game because i remembered when i was younger i played the sequel on the xbox 360 so i wanted to see what the original was. All i can say is that i will never regret getting this.

The game is absolutely amazing. I've played it multiple times.

For being an RTS game, the actual unit AI does *NOT* hold up. You will not be able to do formations, you will not be able to move units competently across the battle field. Troops will relentlessly slam into each other which creates a massive traffic jam, with the only solution being to micro-mange your entire army. This singular, but massive flaw has completely turned me off from playing this game.

An excellent RTS. Had a good friend not introduced me to [b]Supreme Commander[/b], I'd have never known about it! It features a great storyline with three fantastic factions to play as. The main thing that sets [b] Supreme Commander [/b] apart from other RTS, is the larger sized maps, as well as a wider arsenal of units including massive experimental units that you can build. The way you build units is also unique; you can queue units from multiple factories in order to create gigantic armies - there's a wide array of land, sea and air units to choose from. The economy of [b] Supreme Commander [/b] is you trying to maintain a delicate balance of mining as much [i]metal[/i] as possible with being able to produce enough [i]energy[/i] in order to keep churning out armies non-stop. You really have to play [b] Supreme Commander [/b] in order to experience it.
