Just moving around the menus results in weird, unexplainable slowdown. Saving a game or reaching the end of a mission might cause a complete game crash or system freeze-an issue that occurred close to a dozen times during our play-testing, on multiple machines. Whenever a superior's talking-head portrait is about to appear onscreen during the campaign, you can tell because the game will pause for a couple of seconds. Explosions will cause the frame rate to drop to a crawl, which makes Supreme Commander's famous nuclear blasts more annoying than exciting. The game engine hitches every few seconds, and standard tasks like zooming in and out cause it to stutter. The game's frame rate and general performance are absolutely atrocious. Supreme Commander is strategy on a massive scale. Fantastic strategic gameplay deserves better, and it's astonishing that it was allowed on store shelves in its current state. Here, it isn't just rough around the edges-it's just plain rough. These issues are maddening, because at its core, Supreme Commander is a great real-time strategy game, filled with tactical intricacies that function on a massive scale. It's a technical disaster, prone to frequent lockups, constant stuttering, and plenty of buggy behavior.
It's hard to guess how a game like Supreme Commander for the Xbox 360 gets approved for a retail release.
