  1. The best Real Time Strategy on any console and almost as good as the excellent PC version that came out a short time ago.
  2. Online is as good as ever, you still have the great Vision Cam system to see who you are blowing up and the amount of maps available is impressive, about 50 at the moment.

  1. The Xbox version of this game could have been really enjoyable. However it is very unstable, having huge FPS drops on practically every map and level, to the point of it being unplayable.

    The control scheme is fluid, and works well. The graphics are very good.

    I just couldn't play it with the massive FPS drops. Worth a buy if your a C&C fan.

    Lousy game, really pales in comparison to previous cnc games such as RA1. EA was too lazy to make the game themselved (not that they would have done a better job anyway) so they outsourced it to some random developer. Cnc was a great franchise, its dead to me now though. Full Review »

    Pretty good game. There are a few things that should've been done to make it better though. Kane's Challenge is a nice addition but there really isn't any variety to it for each faction. It's just using the same strategies over and over again which doesn't make the game's lasting appeal very good at all. The campaign is ok for an expansion pack but it just doesn't do much to keep you interested in what is going on. The new sub-factions are a great addition to the game. It brings variety to the factions but, as I said earlier, when you play Kane's Challenge with all of the factions you can just use the same strategy over and over which makes it repetitive. Overall it is a good game. Full Review »
