With its explosive style of warfare, the C&C franchise has grown over the years to span multiple fictional genres, including the science fiction Tiberium universe, the revisionist history of the Red Alert universe, and a twist on modern warfare with Command & Conquer Generals. The bonus DVD features a half-dozen exclusive video features including an interview with Louis Castle, who is also co-founder of Westwood Studios, the creator of the C&C franchise. As a special bonus, C&C fans will have the opportunity to be featured on the exclusive DVD. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    All the storylines were so creatively done it’s a wonder that Westwood or EA has not jumped on the bandwagon and gone Hollywood.

    There simply isn't a better compilation of Command & Conquer material. You could buy each game individually and set up the appropriate hacks to make them work, but you can bet that EA won't be patching those - this compilation is where your future support lies...hopefully.

    C&C: The First Decade will have all C&C aficionados waxing nostalgic for the good old days of GDI versus Nod, Kane and Yuri, and of course, Tanya, the sexiest female gaming character next to Lady Croft.

    It shows its age, and some titles are better then others, but all the cinemas are intact and some games never get boring.

    Hopefully any future release will benefit from vigorous testing before release, a privilege that hasn't seemed to have been granted to this collection.

    You're better off tracking down a copy of "Red Alert 2" on its own. [Sept 2006, p.101]

    With some more care and ambition, Command & Conquer: The First Decade could have been the single greatest compilation of all time, a must-have for vets and newbies alike. Instead, it's actually only appealing to fans of a few of the titles that are still playable, and it's just a buggy nostalgia trip for everyone else.

I just wish Westwood had stayed with EA for longer, as I felt the games lacked that intense fast pace play, that was experienced in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. That said, the game are still 10/10.… Expand

What else do I have to say. Renagade is a fun fps (although a bit slow). The original is laggy but fun to play of you have free time.
    Red alert is fast and fun although quite Chaotic but is an amazing strategy game classic. Use a whole arsenal of V2s, attack choppers and NUCLEAR SUBMARINES. Generals has different factions with All sorts of tanks and hey If you want destruction just put an impossible ai on your team and normals on the enemys. Overall a great package that you should pick up if you spot it in a shop.    … Expand
