With each new battle, I have to research from scratch, which means I am free to manage each conflict differently, but from a real world perspective it's just plain silly. To unlock these monoliths of destruction requires spending of Research Points in a very extensive Research tree, giving the battlefield commander great latitude for developing armies with different focus. Death rays punctuate an unstoppable march into the enemy's base. The lumbering Cybranasaurus Rex or King Kriptor robot dealt the kind of destruction I might have imagined whilst watching those 1950s science fiction films. One of the joys of playing a new Real Time Strategy is experiencing and experimenting with the new units and in Supreme Commander 2 this is a real highlight. If you're going to really dressup like a general, making difficult military decision should be part of that drama. Plot is driven via video conference style conversations and the inclusion of a few key characters provide just enough of a wrapper to allow me to engage with the action. The three emerging factions form the basis for events here.

Supreme Commander 2's story follows the events of the PC only expansion, Forged Alliance, but set 25 years later.

Suddenly, I was less Custer and more General Lee as I watched my automatons marching about carrying out a series of orders. It was a real shame that this vital piece of information wasn't imparted from the beginning, since it significantly improved my experience. For example, I didn't discover the ability to queue commands until I was well into the third campaign. A nice touch is the ability to zoom-in from a view of the whole battle right down to soldier head height.Дisappointingly, despite the extensive hand holding, some of the more advanced controls are hidden away in the manual. Becasue of this it runs smoothly and has controls optimised for the joypad. The sequel has been developed exclusivley for 360/PS3.

The original Supreme Commander was ported to the Xbox 360, but with huge technical issues it was virtually unplayable.

Nowadays I don't own a PC capable of running those games, so the 360 version of Supreme Commander 2 was an interesting step back into the world of clicking to kill.

I used to love PC real time strategy games like Command and Conquer and Red Alert - before overly complex technology-trees confused me. But even realistic units and massive battles fail to compensate for controls that hamstring your orders. Supreme Commander 2 360 tries everything to make its real time strategy work on a console.
