Husband is enjoying the game

I don't play this game but got it for my husband. He seems to be enjoying it (based on the fact he sits in front of the compter playing for a little too long sometimes he he).

The only complaint I have ever heard from him is a compter hardware related issue; he believes we nee a faster/better video graphics card as the graphics occasionally stutter. Our compter is a least 3yrs old so this may well be. He has made no comments about the game itself!

He loves these kind of games and had been playing Command and Conquer series.

Awesome

This is an awesome follow up on a really great game. I like how it has alot of the same controls and game play while adding more to an already massive arsenal. I think that a good story line is one of the major parts of what makes a game great, and they honestly did a great job with it. I would highly recommend this game to everyone looking for a challenge of your skills.

Good Update to a Good Game

SUPCOM was a good game that had several flaws, most of them are fixed in this expansion pack. The new race is good, but the best parts are the new AI and the new balancing. My buddies and I have a lot of fun playing this game online and find a good game tends to last about 90 minutes or so.

Very nice!

I love this game. It was a great follow up to the first. Nice style and fun storyline.

Pros: Better/Added features, fixed some bugs.

Cons: Short. Not that different from the first.

If you loved the first this is a must buy!

Total Waste of Money

Forget this. There is no way you can have any fun with this game. Your AI opponents will drop an A bomb on you before you can devise any defense.

Great Graphics when zoomed in. Hence the 1 star. Unfortunatly it is impossible to play at this zoomed in level where the graphics are pretty. To be playable you have to be in 'view from space mode' So basically your just watching Icons battle it out. Whheeeee! On top of that this is just a Land Factory Spam Factory game. Whoever can build the most T1 land units 1st wins.

Only good for LAN play and only for a few players

If you loved the Supreme Commander original game and story, particular with the single player content, I have bad news for you, u will likely hate this steaming pile of dung.

The multiplayer is good, but as with the original, you need the Deep Blue horsepower to run games of more than 4 players. The single player is also not only horrible and disinteresting, you aren't ever given a reason to care, so who gives a crap if they all get wiped out, no reasons are given for why you should even hate the new baddies. The absolute WORST part of the single player experience is you play the SAME mission on a different planet OVER AND OVER again. You are dropped in with no base and support on a planet typically against more than one other commander who has a full base up and running, good luck! YUCK

This game also follows the WORST game mechanic ever, UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES, hope you don't wanna play that mission over because EVERY dern mission starts the same, with 3 minutes of unskippable cut scene crap, followed by some deragotory comment from your "side". I found myself wanting to play the seraphim more and more, and caring far less and less about the "human" side. NOt only that, but some of the missions were impossible to beat except on easy (by a skilled Strategy gamer) due to the relentless rush nature of the stupid AI. The implausibility of some scenes is stupifying, the operation area is expanded to reveal an enemy force over 500 units per side, and you roped in. Ummm... If you had 500 units on wait, why didn't you just attack me earlier, stupid!!!

This was a weak single player experience, save your money for something better.

Awesome game

With the release of Forged Alliance the new standalone expansion for supreme commander Gas Powered Games has once again raised the bar for the RTS Genre. With over 100 new units and an entire new race, rebalanced, faster, game play and numerous graphical and performance tweaks, Forged Alliance is quite simply the greatest RTS ever.

The Multiplayer play is where this game really shines with a scope of battle not seen in any RTS yet. Massive armies of tanks and mechs frequently collide with naval bombardment raining down as fighters and gunships turn and dodge above in efforts to gain air superiority. Experimental 20 story killing robots and strategic nuclear warheads can be built and will turn the tide of the battle in seconds. Do you self a favor and experience what RTS's have always meant to be.

A great game, but not the best value.

This really should have been an expansion. $40 is a lot for a strategy game with one faction. Conversely, one could say that the game has a lot of strategy for $40, but that's really if you already have the core game. The added units are fantastic, the UI is really slick and the Seraphim are fun, but even for the hard core fans, I'd suggest waiting until the price drops.
