This all might seem utterly simplistic to a PC RTS fan, but given a console's control limitations, keeping the game simple works out well in the long run.Įxtinction squeezes PC real-time-strategy gameplay onto consoles.and for the most part, it's a good fit. Extinction takes the best parts of a RTS game and brings it to the PlayStation 2, largely forgoing the menial tasks that just aren't suited for a console. Despite these faults, Extinction does a lot right, including the excellent control setup that isn't marred by endless menu screens.

A lot of your success will depend on how many units you have and how good you are at zerging (throwing a mass amount of weak units at enemies). And even though this is a RTS game, there's not much strategy that you need to take into consideration aside from the obvious restrictions of each unit. Missions are usually seek-and-destroy missions, although they sometimes branch out into fix-it and survival missions, which are' well, the same thing. That means there's little resource management or structures to build, which might turn-off some RTS-fanatics, but it's for the best for a console RTS.

Unlike most conventional RTS games,Extinction focuses primarily on combat.
