Recently, I set out to find a new RTS to play with my boyfriend. The both of us really enjoy RTSs, but have never been really hardcore RTS players. We had our sights set on The Lord of the Rings: BFME2, but considering that it would be kind of expensive to get an additional copy (and the online servers are down), we decided that BFME wasn't the best idea.
So I started exploring, and found Supreme Commander 2. It seems to be very highly reviewed, has a nice visual style, and mechanics that the two of us agree fit what we want in an RTS. Upon looking it up on Amazon (and seeing that it's only $5 a copy), I bought two without really thinking about it.
Upon closer examination, however, the game seems to have gotten some pretty bad reviews on Amazon... which is probably why the price is low.
So what is your opinion on the game? I haven't received it in the mail yet, so I thought I would try to get the valuable opinion of the Escapist forum-dwellers.
And on a side note, which faction do you prefer in the game?
