Summary
The original Supreme Commander took place during the course of the Infinite War. That ended, thus making that moniker sound a little silly, but 25 years later a new threat rears its head. In Supreme Commander 2, the newly elected president of the Colonial Defence Coalition has been assassinated, plunging the galaxy into diplomatic disarray.
Matters don't help when the Coalition members – the United Earth Federation, The Illuminate and the Cybran Nation – blame each other for the incident, and war is once again waged. It is your job, as one of three commanders from a chosen faction, to ensure that your point is well made by crushing your ex-best friends with the might of your warfare.
The single-player campaign is nothing to be sniffed at, with over 18 missions and a character-driven plotline that will connect you deeper with the actions happening on screen. With so much at stake for your race nation, can you afford to be lenient in the face of war? Of course not, and Supreme Commander 2 won't let you – huge land and air vehicles are at your beck and call to obliterate any enemy unit that gets in your way.
Add to that an online battle mode, an ability to upgrade and customise your army units with the latest weapons and technology, and a redesigned user interface to make the action more efficient to manage, and you have a warzone that's just as exciting as the original Supreme Commander.
