Supreme Commander vs Supreme Commander 2
Supreme Commander
Supreme Commander is an excellent spiritual successor to the popular strategic game, Total Annihilation. Set in a futuristic world and a futuristic war between three factions, the game lets you dive into the turning point in the war where only one faction can emerge as the victor. The gameplay emphasizes strongly on strategic planning and thinking ahead as you'll not only need to amass an offensive force to take out your enemies; you'll also need to build up your base's defenses in order to repel invading armies.Aside from its abandoned multiplayer mode, the most unfortunate thing about this game though is that there isn't a speed up option so most of the processes in the game are incredibly slow. Even the movement of your vehicles is slow. So, unless you have hours after hours to spend, Supreme Commander might not appeal to you as much - you might want to try its sequel instead.
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.
