My son played this for about an hour and got bored with it. He didn't care for it at all. Not sure if it was the game itself (playability) or the fact that he had no interest in this type of game.

DON'T BUY IT!!!

The campage in this game isn't fun at all. I found the Skirmish a little fun but not near as fun as Age Of Mythology. I also found that you can't play more then 1 titan at a time what's up with that!!! Overall do not buy it!!!!

pretty simple

kinda dissapointed after reading the reviews, game was very easy to beat and after you beat it there's not much use for the game anymore cause you can't play skirmishes against the computer

An RTS is a game in which you (the gamer) control a whole army or civilization and attempt to make it more powerful than the other peoples. The Sims may also be considered to be a RTS and some people even consider the zelda games "ocarina of time", "majora's mask", and "wind waker" to be RTS games since they all have their own clock systems.

a supreme innovation in the rts genre

Goblin Commander has its faults. The worst of them is the inherent low resolution of the television set, which means you just can't see much detail when the camera is pulled back. The game is also completely lacking in bells and whistles -- no single player skirmish maps, very basic music, and a silly linear storyline. With all that understood, this is not just the best console RTS, but the most innovative RTS on any platform to come along since Dungeon Keeper (a game that it clearly draws on; GC is almost a cross between DK and Warcraft), and probably the most innovative game of any kind since Grand Theft Auto 3. The major ingredients are: A, the great control interface, and B. the ability to direct-control units, which is seamlessly integreted into the gameplay as a strategic element. If you are an RTS fan, its almost worth buying a console just to play this game; if you are a console-only player, my goodness, are you in for a treat -- good RTS games were formerly the exclusive domain of the PC. You'll find out what you've been missing, and then some. (RTS, by the way, means real-time strategy -- do a web search for details).

Gem

Drop what you are doing tonight and go buy this game. I bought it just because I like the title, ;) but I'm SOO glad I did. Seriously, it's loads of fun sending goblins to rampage and destroy the countryside - and the enemy in the process!

It's designed from the ground up for console, to need a small number of buttons, instead of stripped down from a PC game. And that, boys and girls, is why it works. The controls are simple not to baby you, but just because you won't want an interface that gets in the way of Whuppin' Booty!

Instead of unit-based (as are most RTS, I think), this is more solidly squad-based (more like Warhammer, in that sense); you get up to 10 goblins of a given clan, and they always move around together, which makes it superfast to get them on the field. You can command up to 3 clans (so 3 squads on the field) per battle, and with literally 2 instant button taps, you can say "Stonecrushers, go over Here! Stormbringers, wait over Here!" or say "Stormbringers, you follow Stonecrushers!" It's easier than moving miniatures on a table!

You'll constantly replace the goblins as they die by summoning more. They don't "take time to train," they just pop out of the clan shrine and immediately run off to join their brothers in battle! Huzzah! Though you do have to watch out for that; if you don't want your new guys to leap into the ambush that killed their predecessors, be sure to reset the rally point back at camp!

The giant lumbering support Titans are brilliant to smash things with, and even more impressive when you zoom the camera down to goblin's-eye view. Oh, yeah! You can select a single goblin in a clan to be the "lead guy," which means your controller now moves Him about instead of your Commander cursor. All his buddies of course follow him, and your other 2 clans can be set to follow them... This way you can easily steer the Horde of 30 slavering goblins around the map, and zoom the camera down to their level and swivel it around to get a good look at the enemy's face when they see you coming! (all right, thier expressions don't change, but you can imagine they do) I don't know another RTS that gives you both the bird's eye view and the shoulder-level view.

I don't give it 5 stars just because there's room for improvement, but that should NOT stop you from enjoying this game. OK, enough of me. Go buy this game so they have money to make a sequel that includes online play! Go! Go now!

A really good game

i LOVE THIS GAME AND i LOVE THE GRAPHICS but the only problem is they copied the gameplay from warcraft you move a little dot around click on buildings click on the unit you want and thats the gameplay of warcraft and you dont build your buildings they are set out for you. On campaign you go on adventures like in warcraft too. In scermish you can have a lot of fun bashing your friends or having your friends bounce on you I was beaten three times in a row! he chooses the best races and he trashed my base in 20 minutes. the titans are fun but you have a fun time playing tag when your friend is the predator and you are the prey. The titans are one for each clan you get a stone ogre that can eat people and swing his club around like in lord of the rings. A lightning robot who is fast when attacking but slow when walking. A slime monster that starts from a tiny slime into a huge bogie when he eats more people just by moving on them. Cool but slow a giant spike ball that can roll over your enemies and self destruct. The worst is the pigapult a giant warthog with a catapult that cant even attack enemies three feet away I mean your huge in size but you cant squash them (...)
