a supreme innovation in the rts genre
Goblin Commander has its faults. The worst of them is the inherent low resolution of the television set, which means you just can't see much detail when the camera is pulled back. The game is also completely lacking in bells and whistles -- no single player skirmish maps, very basic music, and a silly linear storyline. With all that understood, this is not just the best console RTS, but the most innovative RTS on any platform to come along since Dungeon Keeper (a game that it clearly draws on; GC is almost a cross between DK and Warcraft), and probably the most innovative game of any kind since Grand Theft Auto 3. The major ingredients are: A, the great control interface, and B. the ability to direct-control units, which is seamlessly integreted into the gameplay as a strategic element. If you are an RTS fan, its almost worth buying a console just to play this game; if you are a console-only player, my goodness, are you in for a treat -- good RTS games were formerly the exclusive domain of the PC. You'll find out what you've been missing, and then some. (RTS, by the way, means real-time strategy -- do a web search for details).
Get Your Freak On, Baby!
Drop what you are doing tonight and go buy this game. I bought it just because I like the title, ;) but I'm SOO glad I did. Seriously, it's loads of fun sending goblins to rampage and destroy the countryside - and the enemy in the process!
It's designed from the ground up for console, to need a small number of buttons, instead of stripped down from a PC game. And that, boys and girls, is why it works. The controls are simple not to baby you, but just because you won't want an interface that gets in the way of Whuppin' Booty!
Instead of unit-based (as are most RTS, I think), this is more solidly squad-based (more like Warhammer, in that sense); you get up to 10 goblins of a given clan, and they always move around together, which makes it superfast to get them on the field. You can command up to 3 clans (so 3 squads on the field) per battle, and with literally 2 instant button taps, you can say "Stonecrushers, go over Here! Stormbringers, wait over Here!" or say "Stormbringers, you follow Stonecrushers!" It's easier than moving miniatures on a table!
You'll constantly replace the goblins as they die by summoning more. They don't "take time to train," they just pop out of the clan shrine and immediately run off to join their brothers in battle! Huzzah! Though you do have to watch out for that; if you don't want your new guys to leap into the ambush that killed their predecessors, be sure to reset the rally point back at camp!
The giant lumbering support Titans are brilliant to smash things with, and even more impressive when you zoom the camera down to goblin's-eye view. Oh, yeah! You can select a single goblin in a clan to be the "lead guy," which means your controller now moves Him about instead of your Commander cursor. All his buddies of course follow him, and your other 2 clans can be set to follow them... This way you can easily steer the Horde of 30 slavering goblins around the map, and zoom the camera down to their level and swivel it around to get a good look at the enemy's face when they see you coming! (all right, thier expressions don't change, but you can imagine they do) I don't know another RTS that gives you both the bird's eye view and the shoulder-level view.
I don't give it 5 stars just because there's room for improvement, but that should NOT stop you from enjoying this game. OK, enough of me. Go buy this game so they have money to make a sequel that includes online play! Go! Go now!
Hands Down the Best RTS ever made on Console!! Believe it!!
Any one that has ever played an RTS title on a console know they SUCK!! They Just do. This is the first RTS title that really works and its a Blast. Direct control over clans and Titans is just Freakn Cool and takes you all the way into the world unlike any RTS title has ever done.
Has all the high action of a Console game with cool strategy elements. Highly recomended!! Five Stars!!
