Yes it's simplified and the scale isn't as vast, but if that isn't to your taste just play the first game, this game is much easier to just pick up and play without having to devote a lot of time to learning its intricacies. I have no idea what all the fuss is about with the game scores I played the original quite a lot, and I liked it, but personally I find the sequel to be more fun. Hopefully the Supreme commander 3 will go to the computer users again which paid for the first one rather than alienating 2 groups of gamers.

You are left with a game that neither console nor computer gamer enjoy. This game is a perfect example of Developers Simplifying games so that the console with a controller can play them while forcing the computer to play the console version. Also the research points are from research buildings that with only a handful will allow you to get all the tech within the first 5 minutes of the game. You don't get progressively stronger units or structures but rather just improve the old. You are left with a single tech level except you have a tech tree you "research" with research points. Instead of progressively stronger tech units and structures that require you build the lower tech version first. The tech tree and controls of the original were done away with for a much simpler and easier to understand system that seems to try and bridge to gap between keyboard and control however you are left with a system that while easier to control on the console leaves the computer feeling like a children's game with few options. Instead of the large fights of 1000's of units over maps that can take hours to just explore, you are left with a unit cap and smaller maps to try and encourage you to finish fights faster.

While It takes it Units and tactics from those games its strategy has been greatly diminished. The tech tree and controls of This is not the sequel to Supreme Commander or even to Total Annihilation. This is not the sequel to Supreme Commander or even to Total Annihilation.
