Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde (PlayStation 2)

 

Real-time strategy is one genre that has yet to establish itself on consoles. Though ports have been made of PC classics like Command & Conquer and Starcraft, it's hard to call them outstanding games for consoles, because they were designed with mouse...

Finally! A console RTS truly done right.

Tinges of monotony near the end of the game aside, there is plenty here to love, and if you've been searching for a good, solid real-time strategy game for consoles that succeeds in spirit where PC-to-console ports have failed, this is a rather smart buy.

Not all goblins are nasty and 'orrible.

Instantly appealing, Goblin Commander is full of good ideas and gameplay features. However, it's obvious that the developer is limiting the possibilities available to try and maintain that console feel.

you can't watch Return of the King and not want to command your own legion of slavering goblins, orcs and cave trolls. Which is exactly what Goblin Commander lets you do.

Goblin Commander had us gnashing our pointy yellow teeth in excitement. But in creating a console-friendly RTS, it's only managed to replace one set of hassles with another.
