The Xbox 360 version does come with a few drawbacks, specifically a smaller scale and sometimes awkward control setup, but this is a much stronger game than the console version of the original. And, thankfully, the console version of the sequel actually runs at an acceptable framerate, and looks pretty good in the process. It makes for a more digestible, though slightly less rewarding, real-time strategy experience. To make things a little easier to digest in the sequel, Gas Powered Games made a number of adjustments to speed up the pace of play and simplify the upgrade process. The sheer number of options to consider when building your forces can be overwhelming at times. The thrill of the game is building gigantic armies and moving them across land, sea, and air to annihilate the opposition in a brilliant fireworks display of explosive carnage. That's the way of battle in Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander 2.

Because you forgot to build a defense silo, your hopes of victory fizzle in a nuclear haze. A missile is headed to the heart of your base. You cheer at having averted the threat, but then your throat clenches as a 'strategic launch detected' warning chirps up. As the enemy struggles with this new weapon, your air force bombards their artillery. Then from your experimental production facility emerges a towering assault robot capable of absorbing enemy fire while pulverizing the opposition with devastating cannons.

Under your energy shields, artillery, anti-air vehicles, and tanks wait to push back the attack, but your radar intel indicates the encroaching combined forces of the enemy may sweep you right out of existence. Your shields are up, perimeter defenses are guarding your resource generators, and production facilities pump out a steady stream of units.

An army of hundreds of heavily armed robots advance on your position.
