Combat on a large scale, using powerful mechanical machines and robot-like beings is hardly a new concept to the videogames market – but Supreme Commander 2 appears to introduce enough twists on the standard gameplay style of such games to make it worth looking at in more detail.

To be blunt, vast improvements were needed for Supreme Commander 2 to stand much chance of selling well in stores when it gets released in March 2010, as the original Supreme Commander failed to deliver an experience worth putting yourself through. Thankfully it seems the needed improvements have been addressed, and Supreme Commander 2 should do quite well.

SUPREME COMMANDER 2 TRAILER

The user interface has been vastly improved thanks to almost a complete overhaul this time round, and the introduction of new battle modes and vehicles, or weapons if you prefer, adds a new level of variety that the original title so painfully lacked. You could consider Supreme Commander 2 a brand new start to the series given the huge differences from the original.

The basic principles remain the same in Supreme Commander 2 as you would expect – afterall there is only so much you can change in a mech-war title without moving the game into an entirely different genre. The visuals are much better, the battle is more intense and the weapons are bigger, stronger and more powerful than anything you saw in the original.

If you’re into your robots or Mech Warrior type titles, Supreme Commander 2 is certainly worth watching as we approach it’s launch date. Stay with Cheat Masters for more details nearer the time!
