Supreme Commander
For a thousand years, three opposing forces have waged war for what they believe is true. There can be no room for compromise: Their way is the only way. Dubbed The Infinite War, this devastating conflict has taken its toll on a once peaceful galaxy and has only served to deepen the hatred between the factions. After centuries of struggle, the battle for supremacy has at last reached a turning point. Under your strategic command and leadership, only one faction will reign supreme. Will you be victorious and elevate your race to domination? Or will you lead them into the hell of defeat and ultimate extinction? Delivering one of the most advanced and innovative features of any RTS game, Supreme Commander establishes a breathtaking new standard for sheer scope and scale of gameplay. Massive battles unfold across maps of unparalleled size and scope and thousands of units fight to the bitter end.
Supreme Commander review round up
And the verdict is... supreme.
As Supreme Commander hits the top of the UK PC charts, we thought it a good time to round up the recent review scores; which, like the game itself, have been largely, erm, large.
So, in true RTS style, now’s the time to right click and group the key scores: PC Gamer 90%, Games Master 91%, Action Trip 91%, Jolt 9/10, TVG 9/10, IGN UK 8.9/10, Pro-G 9/10, Eurogamer 9/10, CVG 9/10, Gamepro 4.5/5, RealVG.com 9/10, PC Pro 5/6, Computer Shopper 5/5, PC Zone 88%, Bit-Tech.net 10/10.
And with those scores strategically positioned, now to unleash some choice quotes from the amassed units:
IGN called it “one of the most thrilling RTS experiences on the market” which is “a triumphant and hugely accomplished return to the genre”
TVG noted its “incredible sense of scale” with “a level of strategy once more that is rarely seen in an RTS”; concluding, “Quite simply, Supreme Commander is a very important game […] Command and Conquer 3 beware!”
Jolt also noted the scale, but with reference to its potential longevity, saying that the game “immediately impresses” yet “will be remembered for years to come”
Alongside others, Bit-tech.net (before they went off to build a 6 foot Supreme Commander replica, housing an over-the-top spec PC) made some impressively definitive statements: “Supreme Commander is at the top of the genre […] is it the best RTS ever? Probably.” Eurogamer were also straight to the point, saying “This. Is. How. It’s. Done.” And whilst CVG commented “it is, easily, the most epic game we've ever played”, PC Gamer made the simple point that Supreme Commander is “the first great game of 2007”.
And for news on what could be the second great game of 2007, don’t forget to keep an eye out for all our S.T.A.L.K.E.R. related news.
