If the learning curve of the original Supreme Commander proved a little too steep for you, then you'll find a lot to like about the sequel.

Supreme Commander 2 is set 25 years further into the future than the original, featuring numerous game enhancements, an in-depth campaign mode, online multiplayer and a unique storyline, the game represents a new dimension in RTS gaming.
As far as ports go, SupCom 2 on 360 is a middling success. Controls wise, it works well, which is great - at least as well as Halo Wars. But it falls down in some crucial areas.
Supreme Commander 2 takes on not just the story of the Infinite War, but the story of a failed port to the Xbox 360.

SupCom froze, had very poor frame rates, corrupted your data, and was an exercise in patience to play. SupCom 2 comes in with a new publisher who has a solid history of quality console titles and the short story is that yes, the game is fixed. Mostly.
