Goblin Commander Reviews
I do enjoy the game, it is nice to have a semi-stragegy game on x-box, but is anyone else having problems accessing the cheat codes.
I've never played it before, but I reckon it's a mighty fine game.
I come from the generation of Colecovision and Intellivision so I can be easily impressed by any game. If you like games such as Warcraft or Age of Mythology on the PC, this might be too simplistic for you. But, if you enjoy those games and struggle with the complexity of the Xbox controller like me, you just might enjoy the simplicity of this game. I actually found this game easy to use and really enjoyed it. But at the same time, I can be totally uncoordinated with all the buttons on the Xbox controller. The only issue for me is that I am very color blind so once I got to the Plague Spitter level, I couldn't see the green on green background and had to quit, but I do enjoy from time to time playing the other levels over again (only because I CAN beat them).
A single-player, customisable skirmish mode would have done wonders for this game, but there is only a multi-player version which I haven't played yet so I can't review that aspect, though I imagine it's sweet. Each clan (you usually control 2 or 3 at a time) is assigned a button so you can leave one to defend basecamp, one to search for resources (gold for destruction and souls which are earned through battle or at soul fountains), and one to attack the enemies base along with a titan; or you can send all you've got at the enemies at once, or use any other strategy you can think up. Sure, the game lacks that game's depth, but it's still a lot of fun and you can't beat the price. There is also a giant slime that dissolves and absorbs enemy units to increase it's mass and power, a giant boar that launches flaming projectiles and rocks from a catapult on it's back, a lightning elemental, and a giant spiked ball that simply crushes the opposition.
One of the fresh ideas is the titans which you control and can use to stomp down many a foe. You only get 10 active goblins to a clan at once so choose your units wisely. They are actually quite awesome to look at and the story is cool (if pointless) but they take a ridiculous amount of time because of the subtitles which stay on the screen and hault the conversation so that there is a maddening 5-10 second pause between each line of dialogue, presumably to give you time to read the subtitles. Apparently they think we all read at a 2nd grade level. As the game progreeses, you take over different goblin clans with various abilities and individualized units.
At first I thought this was a second-rate Warcraft clone, and to a large extent it is, but I have to admit that I am having a ton of fun with this game, drawbacks and all. Controlling these guys is superfun, but only a small part of combat. Predator: Extinction. Besides, there isn't much RTS competition on the Xbox besides the also excellent Alien vs. These features are what make this game original and fun to play even if you've played Warcraft to death. But if that's not an option than this game is highly recommended.
One of these is a giant ogre that can eat enemies (or allies) to regain health as he swings his club in wide arcs, sending bodies flying. There are dozens of better RTS's out there on PC. Warcraft fans should enjoy this game as it is basically a dumbed-down version of that game with a few new quirks and great graphics. The only major drawback to the game besides the aforementioned lack of depth is the lengthy cutscenes spoken in goblin language and subtitled. Xbox owners are freakin' starving for strategy games and this one delivers. If you are a RTS fan and an Xbox owner who doesn't play PC games, your prayers are answered (in part) by this game and AVP:Extinction.
P.S. the person that wrote last review is a TOTAL IDIOT. BUT FUN. The way they gave eacch unit special abilities makes it so that you son't just get the unit that's the strongest.
Ok the moment I saw the cover I thought this would be a great game. I love the way they made the titans, they aren't so powerful that they're invinsible, but they are strong enough to do some SERIOUS damage. you have to have a different strategy for each level so it's pretty hard. the only setback I found is that the cinematics take so long.
Each level is different, which means that it doesn't get boring fast at all.
