Carrier Command: Gaea Mission for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

If this was a move it would of went straight to DVD. The controls of the vehicles are absolutely horrible even with a steady and methodical approach to the vehicles handling .... the command controls are worthless and the overall game would be rejected by most. I would rank this failure similar to Call of Juarez: The Cartel... i even gave the game a solid 3 hour chance and finally said screw it.

This game is such a super awesome concept! You command a carrier (as the title suggests) which deploys both aircraft and amphibious tanks to take control of an archipelago of islands on an alien world. Even better then the fact that you can command your army, you can even assume direct control over one of the vehicles to get your hands dirty. Awesome! Right?

No, that's not right. The whole game screams of a lack of polish. The AI, especially that of your troops, is irredeemably stupid. Their path-finding is awful and they frequently get stuck, crash or wander into an enemy swarm. The graphics are weak and bland, making what could be stunning locales look like a 4th grader's papier-mâché diorama. The interface and controls are also extremely weak, lacking polish and simplicity that should have been borrowed from other console RTS games like Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.

There was so much potential in the concept but it was entirely squandered. If you want to try a fun console RTS/Vehicular Combat game, instead check out Battlestations: Pacific. It's a similar concept in which you can both command and commandeer WWII subs, warships, and planes in the Asian Pacific Theater of war.
