<p>The most recent wrinkle in the game's development was the announcement
that the game is also being put out for the Xbox 360. How will the
developers manage to cram this level of graphic detail into the
console? How will they translate the keyboard and mouse control system
to a controller? We don't know, but as soon as we can get our hands on
a copy we'll find out.

<p> Remember the last RTS game that came out for a console? <a href="http://cube.ign.com/objects/552/552423.html" target="_self" title="THIS GAME BLOWS COCK A DOODLES">Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde</a>? Remember how badly it sucked?

I have Goblin Commader, believe it or not.

And oh man, this is going to be terrible.

From the get-go of the first game, it all seemed like a retarded cash-in and now that is for certain.

I've played Age of Empires, Dune 2 and Warcraft on consoles. It's not that hard to port it over. Number of units on screen was a problem for the PS2 so it had a lower cap than the PC versions and control was a little clumsier but not outrageously so.

Whether the game will suck is another issue.

Naw, Red alert on the PSX was as hilarious as on PC, except that the control made it a pain to play.
