    Don't buy this game thinking that it will be a good sequel to the 2 previous games, since it wont. It simply falls short on all areas where the previous games shines and can be considered nothing more than a simplified (nicer word for dumbed down) cash cow aimed at the consoles.

    This game is not in the least a successor to Supreme Commander (and Forged Alliance). The story isn't great, but I wasn't expecting it to be. What I was expecting, however, was a game that took the same essence of Supreme Commander and refined it. Supreme Commander 2 instead took the originaly, emptied out the substance and complexity, and put itself out there as a successor This game is not in the least a successor to Supreme Commander (and Forged Alliance).

Supreme Commander 2 instead took the originaly, emptied out the substance and complexity, and put itself out there as a successor when all it really can claim to be is a dumbed down version meant to be somewhat playable on consoles. That isn't a sequal - its a perversion of the original.… Expand

    This is not Supreme Commander. This is just a generic regurgitation of ever other RTS you have ever played. Gone are the varying units, gone are the hordes, the illuminate doesn

    Split the fan base in two, indeed. I despise everything about this title as it to me feels a fake and cheap imitation of the former. All the luster of the first game is gone and in its place is a dull plastic coating. This is not Supreme Commander 2, this is a hideous knock-off. Or worse yet: "Supreme Commander: Children's Edition".

    Everything is so small that i constantly have to focus eyesight just to distinguish my units. Experimental units are slightly bigger than normal ones, but apart from that theres actually no advantage in building them. All units and buildings look like they were made from plastic, specially blue colored UEF. Music is either annoyingly bland or annoyingly persistent, i don't even have Everything is so small that i constantly have to focus eyesight just to distinguish my units.

Music is either annoyingly bland or annoyingly persistent, i don't even have a word to describe how "neutral", boring and repetitive it is. Story reminds me some crappy mexican soap opera with conflicts and drama appearing from trivial causes. Makes me wonder how much did they pay to reviewers to get 80+ scores, even as completely separate game (as if it wasn't related to sp1) i would certainly NOT buy it, recommend it or even play it for free, simply because its not entertaining or catchy enough.… Expand

    The user rating does not yet seem to reflect the criminality of this release. This game is to SupCom what Fisher Price is to Lockheed Martin. Fans of the original will surely (as i did) vomit with rage and disappointment within moments of commencement, delete the game and destroy the disc.

    It´s a console-port and that pretty much tells you every thing you need to know.
    To fit the brainless masses it´s dummed down and all the features that made SC 1 great are gone.
    And to fit the game on the outdated consoles it´s uglier and smaller than the original. It was at the top of my list of games to buy, luckily I tried the demo so I didnt waste    It´s a console-port and that pretty much tells you every thing you need to know.

    Utter disgrace. Chris Taylor better be losing sleep. Every aspect of this "game" is stripped, butchered and neutered compared to SupCom 1 & FA. All the little things - and even some big things - of the predecessor that made that game great are gone. Adjacency bonuses, gone. Tech I, II, III, gone. A bada** look and appeal, gone.

If you have, however, played the predecessor, you instantly see that this new installment has been produced with the one goal of making it more palatable for 4-year-olds.

    All the economy and strategy that made this game what it was, has been pulled out and replaced with a nice little tech tree. awww, cute. I feel as though i could keep rambling for years how "upset" i am with this game.    … Expand

    Rating this a 0 because this broke with its predecessor Supreme Commander and its spiritual predecessor Total Annihilation in favor of dumbed down simplicity. The storyline is laughable tripe but given other RTS's, that is not a huge flaw. What is more fatal is the removal of the unique resource and tech model and large scale for something more in keeping with other RTS games.

    Sou fã do Supreme commander1, mas com esse artificio de ganhar Xp, ficou horrível o game, agora em poucos minutos de jogo vc já consegue ter armas nucleares.

    This is a purist RTS with old-school communists values, where there's power in numbers. [Issue#95, p.122]

    Supreme Commander 2 is a hybrid between Total Annihilation and the first Supreme Commander: it has the accessibility of the former and the immensity of the latter. Probably the best “classic” RTS until today, though it has nothing special to grant it a long future.

    Supreme Commander 2 is the result of how, through prudent choices it's possible to convert a title suited almost exclusively to a niche of fans of the genre into a game for everyone. With the recent release of strategic games such as Napoleon: Total War and the imminent arrival of Starcraft II and Command & Conquer 4, all the fans of strategy games have something to have fun with and we are confident that the new creation from Chris Taylor can succeed in carve out its space, thanks to this new dynamic and intuitive formula .
