Goblin Commander is a well done...
Strengths: Decent graphics and sound, quick and simple gameplay, good controls
Weakness: No online or system link play, limited replay in single player mode
Goblin Commander is a well done RTS for the XBox, slimmed down with a number of the complex RTS elements skimmed out. The gameplay is made simple and clean and quick, with a limitation of the number of units and types of units available. Some of the more complex elements of a standard RTS have been removed, such as large amounts of resource gathering, which helps out on a console. Another welcome...

Goblin Commander
Strengths: Easy to control RTS on a console
Weakness: Graphics are lacking, could be overly simplistic for some
This is an enjoyable little RTS that is good for a cheap price. Don't expect a high level of depth or wonderful graphics. This is just a well designed RTS for the consoles. The game isn't very long, but what is there is fun. There isn't too much variety, as each level seems to consist of generating as many of the best unit available at the time, and then crushing your enemies. Fun, but can get...

Strengths: Great RTS gameplay, excellent controls
Weakness: N64-like graphics

You are able to control your units of goblins easily in the...

Deecent real time strategy for the Xbox
Strengths: One of the few real time strategy games designed with consoles in mind
Weakness: Game may be too simplistic for its own good
Real time strategy games have become a mainstay on the PC for years now. Classics such as Starcraft have had people playing for hours on end. However games have never had as much success on consoles as they weren't created with that in mind. In steps the game Goblin Commander. Obviously by the games title you control an army of Goblins. Against a whole bunch of other goblin armies. Five to be...

The power of Goblins... at your command.
Strengths: Excellent RTS gameplay, with stunning and humorous graphics.
Weakness: The game is unforgiving in terms of difficulty at times.
Real Time Strategy (referred to as "RTS" hereafter) games are definitely on a dry note when it comes to the XBox platform. Luckily, the folks at Jaleco decided to release the obscurely titled (but straight to the point) "Goblin Commander" for the XBox. In this game, you take on the guise of a Goblin Commander, who can utilize dozens of different goblins to ultimately conquer the land and vanquish...
