Supreme Commander for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Supreme Commander was my favorite strategy of all time for the PC, well if you don't count its spiritual predecessor Total Annihilation. It was a brilliant strategy game, deep and rewarding for those who took the time to delve into its features. So it came as no surprise that I would want to try it for the Xbox 360. After all my gaming rig bit the dust, and it wasn't that great a PC anyways so the chance to play SupComm at a decent rate was another seller. So how does it stand up against the PC juggernaut.

Pros -
- It retains all of the units from the PC version as well as throws in a few new ones.
- The Selection wheel really works well giving the time to get used to it. They had to fit a ton of commands to the Xbox controller after all, from a game made to make use of a keyboard.
- The graphics aren't that bad really. (More in Cons section)
- The online multiplayer ran smoothly without any lag other then the stuff you'd find in singleplayer also.
- Truly great scale, once you get used to the zoom out feature its hard to play other strategy games.

Cons -
- Game suffers some severe slowdown and studders at times. Its like playing my PC all over again, just with medium settings instead of low
- Game takes a graphical hit in many departments, specifically the texture resolution and animation department.
- The Analog stick control is rather jumpy, can be hard to select small units amongst large ones.
- PC unit cap of 1000 lowered to 500 for the console.
- Lack of hyping up the game means the game from what I've experienced, being generally dead online.

I just don't have the text space to write all my feelings. Generally I'd say if you were a fan of the PC version or even Total Annihilation, you will love this version (Though if you got a PC to run it to its fullest don't bother) But for the rest of you, I suggest C&C which is a faster paced, easier to play game. SuppComm is really a love it or leave it experience that fans will mostly get the most of
