    2/13/2012: While most argue that SubCom 2 doesn't measure up to it's predecessor and certainly not to Total Annihilation, I try to judge games on their own merits when I can and on it's own, SubCom 2 is a competent RTS. The story is far smaller in scale then the first game, following the stories of three childhood friends on different sides of a three-faction war.

The story is far smaller in scale then the first game, following the stories of three childhood friends on different sides of a three-faction war. It's nothing to write home about, but it ties the missions together well and features a few good twists. More importantly, the game itself is very fun to play. It harkens back to an age where battles in RTS were more about sheer size and broad strategy instead of tactical rock-paper-scissors with everything being a hard counter to something else. If an RTS can keep me playing instant action modes because the actual gameplay was just that fun, I judge it a good game. I don't generally play against anyone in RTSes, but I'm sure it has value as a competitive game, again, probably not on the level of the first but nonetheless fun to play.… Expand

    A very dumbed down sequel. They stripped out features instead of adding them, there's way less unit variety and they did away with proper tech research entirely. Instead they added a childlike simple 'research' resource that you can use to upgrade existing units.

    Just play Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. This is not a proper sequel and never will be.

    It feels, to me, like Sup Com 2 should have preceded Sup Com, it's a giant step back from what made the original a success and a waste of all the best parts of the licence.

    Oh dear. I expected big things from this game, but I don't think I've ever been disappointed more by a game.
    It's dumbed down in every way: less units types, less progression, less tactics, less cool, less scope, less complexity, smaller maps. And it's ugly (the graphics are somehow worse that the previous game...?)! It lost pretty much everything that make SC-TA great.

    I imagine this game is ok if you haven't played SC-TA. However, if you have, this game is just unplayable.    … Expand

    If you have never played supreme commander 1 then this game is probably a 7. If you have then this game is probably a 3.

    I found this game a little better than 1 and forged alliance in its gameplay, graphics and story, but after a little while it starts to get tired.

    The story of the campaign follows the events of the previous games and despite the good characters , much better than being a mute like the previous games, the plot is weak, and doesn't go very far.
    The gameplay had a good improvement in fluidity, but I felt that it missed out on the evolution of new powerful units. But with the new mechanics it became much faster and more fun to do things.
    Overall I think it's worth knowing because it's very cheap on sale, but don't get your hopes up too high.    … Expand

    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 .
