    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.

    Yet another noteworthy addition to the Command and Conquer license. With enough content to entangle you into an exciting single-player campaign and a satisfying multiplayer experience, C&C 3 is a strategy game I'd advise you all to pick up.

    Tiberium Wars does what the series has always done best; providing the most enjoyable RTS experience around via excellent storytelling, enjoyable campaigns and a lasting multiplayer experience.

    An excellent RTS game. Even though the gameplay is still relatively the same, that doesn't mean you shouldn't miss out on the story, exciting action, and ultimately the overall fun experience from the entire game.
  5. GamingTrend

    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.
  7. Game Revolution

    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.

    An excellent continuation of the C&C series. Being able to play the 'aliens' is also a treat. Almost perfect!

The campaign is long and challenging, which is good, excluding the Scrin campaign which was only 4 missions. While playing through the campaign you are presented with HD cinematics (before, after and during missions) which are fairly cheesy and unconvincing, however, it's better then nothing. The graphics, although not perfect, are very nice. In addition to the graphics is the neat sound design which is usually overlooked, so I suggest pumping up the volume. Balance wise, the game seems to be almost balance in patch 1.09, except for a few units, so if you're playing still with pre-1.09, I highly suggest you download the patch because it changes several major gameplay mechanics such as the economy which cutsdown "spamming" by a lot. Bottom line, if you have ever liked any C&C game, or you like RTS games in general, then I highly suggest you buy this because your missing out on a good game.… Expand

    At best, very mediocre. The gameplay will have you mass spamming a select one or two types of units and hurling them at the enemy. The game At best, very mediocre. The gameplay will have you mass spamming a select one or two types of units and hurling them at the enemy. The game lacks any type of strategic depth, despite the introducion of things like directional armour. Spamming and rushing with your vanguard units are the order of the day and ultimately doesn't amount to much more than a refinement of 90's RTS mechanics. Even tech buildings, while sometimes worth capturing, are fairly uninspired. If you enjoyed the previous games I guess this is worth playing, even if it's trying to seel you repackaged 90s gaming. Be warned though, if you liked the GDI/NOD story and expect this to be a faithful successor to Tiberian Sun, you can forget about it. You can literally count on a few fingers the number of elements that survived from TibSun. CNC3 feels more like a regressive sequel to Tiberian Dawn than anything else. The bottomline: if it wasn't for the weight of the CNC name, the polished graphics, marketing and the general big-budget extravaganza in its production, Tiberium Wars would attract the score it really deserves - which is 60-70%.… 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.
