As an Information Architect, you realize how bad an interface can make a game. I can't believe this game got an award. When you get this game started, you'll realize there are dozens of buttons and icons that have no documentation and you can't use them, but they are all over the screen until you build up to using them.I haven't seen a game this bad in a long time, and thought it would be a Total Annihilation upgrade. But if you expect smooth graphics and a 3-d semi-realistic environment you would have expected from some game so heavily plagarizing a best-selling game from the 90's like TA. There are games from the 90's that blow this out of the door. First, the graphics at the highest setting look extremely dated. I was not impressed by the AI, which seemed to be random patterns with no real thought put to it.The worst is the interface. Look elsewhere.
By that I mean that you will have massive numbers of units in massive battles.
I had sworn off PC gaming for quite a while but let a friend talk me into picking this up to play.
I love playing this game and the expansion.
I had long been an FPS and RTS fan on the PC but since my Xbox360 entered the home the PC had been left alone as far as gaming was concerned.
I will say however that this game is a 'big' RTS.
Supreme Commander as well as the Forged Alliance expansion is top notch.
If you're looking for a game to get you back on the PC then this is it.
I wont go into some massive review since there are pleny of sites out there that do a much better job.
I'd suggest it to anyone looking for a great RTS.
Not found in the above description, I keyed this in from the back of the box - MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack2, Vista1.8Ghz processor512 MB RAM8 GB available hard drive space128 MB video RAM or greater, with DirectX 9 Vertex Shader / Pixel Shader 2.0 supportSound card, speakers or headphones56.6 kpps Internet connection required.RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:3.0 GHz Intel or equivalent AMD processor or better1 GB RAM or better8 GB available hard drive space256 MB video RAM, with DirectX 9 Vertex Shader / Pixel Shader 2.0 support (Nvidia 6800 or better)Internet connection with Cable/DSL speeds)Note: recommended specifications provide optimal experience for the single player and up to 4 player/medium size map multiplayer
The title says it all, If you have never played a good RTS game, then maybe you will like this game, but for anyone who has played a game like StarCraft then you know how bad this game sucks. play World In Conflict instead. can you say boring. it was fun for like 2 hours or so, but i found it to be not very interesting at all. i only made it through like 4 levels or so before i had to call it quits. Maybe this is one of those games that is meant to be played multi-player only as it seems that would be quite enjoyable, but as for the single-player experience two thumbs down.
And I couldn't even contact the company. This game was a huge disappointment. The game was won't even work on my computer even though my computer meets or surpasses all of the required software. I would not recommend buying this game.
