Any good console RTSs?

[neonsword13-ops]

What did he say? A CONSOLE RTS?

"The heretic must burn!"

No, but seriously, are there any good console RTSs out there for PS3, Xbox, DS, etc? I'm really hankering for one.

I've only played two console RTS games (Brutal Legend and Halo: Wars) so I was curious to see if you guys knew of any above decent games that I could try out

 

[Aircross]

Starcraft for N64.

*runs*

That's the only other RTS console game I know.

If you really want to, I think Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2 had a console port, but it came out about 5 years ago.

Other than that nothing comes to mind.

EDIT:

Starcraft for N64.

*runs*

That's the only other RTS console game I know.

Hmmm? Starcraft for the N64 you say? I dearly apologize good sir but you must be mistaken, for there was never a Starcraft port and if there was we would never discuss of it ever.

Command and conquer: red alert, for Play Station 1. DON'T QUESTION IT.

 

[TephlonPrice]

RA3, EndWar, Red Alert 1 (if you can find it) & Retaliation (if you can find that too)

 

[Ordinaryundone]

Halo Wars and Battle for Middle-Earth 2 are the best I can think of.

None, but if you already liked those Red Alert and Middle Earth might indeed suit you.

Brutal legend.

 

[Foxpack1]

Tom Clancy's Endwar.

The only one I've played is Halo Wars, and that was OK, but far worse than any RTS I've played on a PC.

Console RTSs are like iOS FPSs. Sure, you can make one, but the control scheme will likely sink whatever chance it had of being good.

The only unmentioned game I can think of is Universe at War: Earth Assault, but it's rather average in general and even more so on consoles.

 

[James Crook]

Yeah, Middle Earth 2 and Endwar are pretty great on consoles. I'd also say R.U.S.E., but I only played it on PC... (and didn't really like it that much)
However, I'd advise waiting for Wargame: European Escalation, the follow-up to R.U.S.E. (which is not being edited by Ubisoft)

Command and conquer: red alert, for Play Station 1. DON'T QUESTION IT.

That game was awesome, even on ps1, even when my poor console couldn't handle my tank army and i had to destriy everything with 10 fps it was still awesome!

It came out in Australia. Currently, only 5000 copies exist.

 

[laggyteabag]

you can get C&C 3 for the 360/PS3 cheapish

 

[sgt. soap mctavish]

All i can say is to try and wait for C&C generals 2. Otherwise, try: any other C&C games, Tom Clancy's Endwar, and, I'm not sure if it counts, but try Risk Factions.

 

[Zarkov]

If you're the least bit interested in WW2, then I highly recommend R.U.S.E. I love that game. I still play it with a couple of friends to this day.

But really, this game is best played on the PC with at least 1-3 more people to play with.

I personally play it on Xbox, but that's where all of my friends are.

 

[Tiger Sora]

C&C 3 is available on 360.

And yes Tom Clancy's EndWar. Fun game. And actually manageable on console, thought it's because it breaks what traditional C&C type RTS games do. But it works out very well.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Pretty much those two and Endwar. Thank god for voice control.

Halo Wars is underrated. Sure, on an intrinsic level, it's not on the same tier as great RTS games, but it's better than it's given credit for. First of all, it's the only traditional RTS I've played on a console that you don't have to break your fingers to control, it plays smoothly. The single-player campaign is pretty enjoyable and boasts some insane production values, with more HD cutscenes than I've ever seen in a game. They take an interesting approach to things like hero units, the visuals are nice and detailed, and fighting (particularly in the late-game) is genuinely enjoyable.
