Supreme Commander 2, review

Supreme Commander 2 has finally come out and I now have a good RTS to play when I’m bored. First off I'll tell you why its so good; it has amazing graphics which have been done by square enix, and if you don’t know them, they're the guys who been making the final fantasy games for a very long time. The game system is awesome now, you only spend about 2 or 3 minutes building base, and if you’re familiar with the first two games then you'll notice there’s no tech 1, 2 or 3. There’s just an upgrades tech tree, which is very useful. For example the U.E.F. rock head tanks can be upgraded to have an extra barrel, increase the length of these barrels, shields and a rocket pod to take out air. How sweet is that.

Aside from the upgrades you have five upgrade trees: land, air, navel, structures and your humble A.C.U. or armoured command unit, which is technically you, your the person controlling the whole battle in that thing which is awesome because you to can get some killer upgrades like teleportation, jump jets and overcharge the ability to make your big gun even more dangerous. You also have experimentals which are either major or minor. Each faction has 3 major and 5 minor experimentals. These are pretty much the tools of destruction BUT if you've played the first two games you will notice that the experimentals are weak as piss now. But who cares you’ve got a bigger variety now.... right?

Anyway I better tell you about the campaign, first off the story is 21 years from the expansion pack forged alliance. The seraphin are gone and aren't returning anytime soon. Somehow the coalition between the 3 factions (U.E.F., the Cybran Nation and the Illuminate) has lasted that long but the newly elected president of the coalition has been assassinated, every one denies taking part in the killing so war sparks. But when or if you play the campaign you will learn that if doesn't look that way from the start.
In the campaign you will play each faction as one of there commanders, which turn out to be classmates who ally with each other because they know that an organisation called the guardians is the corrupt master mind behind the war. Anyway that’s all I’m going to tell you because I don't want to spoil it for you. And if you still want to know how it ends go Wikipedia or something.


bye bye
