The big difference is the technical move forward. Action is fluid, special effects are pretty, and the cutscenes are funny and entertaining. Even the in-game physics, like building explosions and collapses, are comparable to first person shooters.

It’s a near-perfect concoction of speed, style, nostalgia, and fun.

It's action-packed gameplay; attractive, colorful visuals; and star-studded videos are sure to draw in both hardcore fans of the series and large numbers of new players. [Apr 2007, p.20]

Like a once-great champ who's come out of retirement for one last crack at the title, C&C3: Tiberium Wars doesn't quite have enough tricks in its repertoire to defeat its younger, fresher opponents. But while it may be more contender than king these days, it still packs one hell of a punch. [May 2007, p.62]

Full Motion Video, the return of Joseph Kucan, the introduction of a third race to play, and the incredible competitive multiplayer package really shows just how much was spent to make this game the best production possible.

After years in the wilderness, RTS is pretty cool again right now, and something as cheerfully straightforward as this is just what's needed to stop the big braininess of "Company of Heroes" and "Supreme Commander" leading to another plunge into an inaccessibility that turns more casual players off the whole genre.

The game is as homogenous and unimaginative as a tabloid cover, and is as far past its prime as Billy Dee Williams. It’s still a decent RTS, but it wins with quantity, not quality, just like Colt 45.

I enjoyed the game and even bought Kane's Wrath. It's very pretty. It is not the best C&C game, but it is the last good one in the series. RA3I enjoyed the game and even bought Kane's Wrath.

Awesome graphics, smooth gameplay, best part is the FMV sequences. Finally a C&C game that brings me back to the classic games. Love it!

Excellent RTS Experience! Basically what you can expect from Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is balanced races, superb graphics for an Excellent RTS Experience! Basically what you can expect from Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars is balanced races, superb graphics for an RTS, a fun campaign w/ HD movies, huge online gaming community, as well as several units. It added alot to the previous games other than just upping the graphics. You get a new campaign, new story, new race, as well as a few new units and buildings. They have already released a Level Editor which they plan to make mods later in (Like Warcraft III). As well as patches, its a supported game and was released when it was ready. The BEST IN THE RTS Genre to DATE.… Expand

An excellent extension of the C&C series, it suffers from slight balance issues, but still a total blast. It's reminiscent of the An excellent extension of the C&C series, it suffers from slight balance issues, but still a total blast. It's reminiscent of the classic games, but with a shiny engine and, woohoo, they brought back good ole human videos. Multiplayer is a blast, but not too much of a metagame that I saw, although I'm much more into single player. Plenty of room for mods makes this worth buying for now and later.… Expand

Disappointed the enhanced generals engine looks dated. I was hopeing for better graphics than this the units fail the terrain is nice. Overly Disappointed the enhanced generals engine looks dated. I was hopeing for better graphics than this the units fail the terrain is nice. Overly the Single player is a little depressing it doesn't grab me like previous storylines but the FMV is great and I look forward to them Kane is godlike again but NOD are owned far to easy. The scale of the maps is pitiful and at times restrictive. Now that we have games like Supreme commander that show what a modern PC can do with 80kmx80km maps its annoying ti find this Generals Update so limited. Its still got the cracking multiplayer aspect though which is fast paced but I still find my self turning it off and going back to RA2 for the multiplayer. Great for a pick up put down game but its no stayer.… Expand

Pretty average RTS. Brings nothing new to the table and follows the same tired old formula of previous C&C titles. Dated menu and build system.

Beware, the game secretly installs malware - SecuROM. It is likely to cause problems with your computer and is almost impossible to remove.
