Command and Destroy Review (NDS)

The touchscreen of the Nintendo DS has always made it a console that could do what others could not, at least in some genres. Real Time Strategy is one of those genres that is simply hard to pull off without a mouse, or at least some equivalent. As a consequence, even the home consoles like the Xbox 360 - with lots of power to work with - have struggled to produce a really good RTS title comparable to what you can find on the PC. Control has always been an issue. DSI Games has released a budget title called Command and Destroy, a full featured RTS game that uses the Nintendo DS's stylus and touchscreen to the fullest advantage. While Command and Destroy does nothing to improve on the RTS formula established by Command and Conquer or Dune II - aside from making it smaller and portable - it does a fairly good job of executing that formula. As far as budget titles go, Command and Destroy is a solid game, and one I'd recommend to RTS fans.
