Supreme Commander

Well I just finished another wild skirmish game of Supreme Commander. SC is a RTS game... and at this point I almost said like Command and Conquer. But its not. It is a totally unique RTS game. The sheer volume of units and the scientific, yet easily manageable level of resource allocation is superb.

It can be really daunting to manage all these units, especially as I play on the Xbox 360, but of all the RTS games I have played on a console, its control system is probably the most robust and slick I have ever used.

Its all good right? Well, the few problems I have encountered have been the AI's ability. Even 3 Supreme commanders got annihilated by me in about 1 hour as there tactics are all a bit obvious, and playing over Xbox Live is pretty difficult as hardly anyone plays it. But if its so good why don't they play it online?



Frame rate issues and freezing, that's why. If you don't install this game to your hard drive you might as well put the kettle on, because its slows down a lot once you have a ton of units on the screen. It can also lock during the end of a mission and when it saves. Installing it solves most of these problems.

I am a bit late to the Supreme Commander party, but I am really enjoying it now!
