It is just that the problems that are in Xenosaga Episode II are pretty unforgiving in today’s standards.

Unlike "Supreme Commander," it isn’t a cerebral game - it's all about slaughtering your enemies by using gross, macro-level tactics. And, doing it all as fast as possible - if ever there was an arcade RTS, Command and Conquer is it. The main problem is that it doesn’t do anything new.

World Stage is a little too similar to the original Wii title, but for the fans and the newcomers, it's a fun and slick game to try out.
