Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 vs Supreme Commander 2
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is the latest installment of the real-time strategy game franchise, Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Despite the apparently intriguing storyline of a time travel gone awry and the brilliant live-action HD videos, the science fiction-themed narrative is somewhat weak in comparison to the previous titles. However, it's nice that this time around, you get to choose between one of three factions (Allies, Soviets, and the Empire of the Rising Sun, or the Empire for short) to play as rather than having only two. The campaigns are pretty fun as well and the game does have a rather nice co-command feature that links all the campaign missions together.Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has a really nice take on the alternative world theme and the strategic gameplay is incredible as usual. If you're interested, you can try the game's demo before buying it on Steam.
Supreme Commander 2
Supreme Commander 2 is the exciting sequel to the popular real-time strategy game franchise. In this game, players will get to create massive armies under the banner of one of the three different factions, namely The United Earth Federation (UEF), the Cybran Nation and the Illuminate. The game's campaign details the storyline of three commanders from different factions, letting you experience an engaging storyline behind each commander's reasons that drive them in this seemingly endless war. Players get to also customize every unit they recruit, including experimental units with hidden skills that can be unlocked via research. Best yet, everything feels faster than the previous game.Like the previous game, the multiplayer aspect of Supreme Commander 2 can be rather lacking unless you've got friends to play the game with. That said, this is still a pretty nice follow-up in the game series and is a must-buy for fans of the original.
