    Very little was lost in the transition to the Xbox 360, which is an encouraging sign for future RTS games on consoles.
  2. Boomtown

    The controls are intuitive, proving there’s life in console RTS games yet, and the game itself is as diverse, challenging and enjoyable as the series ought to be.

    Command & Conquer 3 is proof that the 360 is just as able to deliver a solid RTS experience.
  4. Gaming Age

    A must buy for RTS fans who own a 360.

    It’s strategically strong, with custom setups, objectives and teams available. The ten or so maps are, as always, well balanced though uninspired, and the AI can be a beast – humans even tougher.

    Once you get into the rhythm of the game, though, you remember why this series is so popular. It's not the mythology or the unit design or the videos as much as it is the kill-or-be-killed simplicity of it all.
  7. Xbox World 360 Magazine UK

    It's certainly a good game, but we want to wage war against Sawyer from Lost, not our 360 controller.

    This game is great. From the full motion video to the game play itself its everything any C&C fan has grown to love. There seems to be a lot This game is great. From the full motion video to the game play itself its everything any C&C fan has grown to love. There seems to be a lot of complaing about controls, I own a PC and don't see the complaint at all. You can smoothly control everything on the battlefield. I was surprised at that like most just because this type of game is meant for the PC. The graphics are solid (you can zoom in and out and rotate 360) and the campaigns and skirmishes a blast. There are several ways to set up your AI oppenents who are no push over. It took me 5 trys before I beat 3 medium AI oppenents in a single skirmish. That alone gives it huge replay value as no one single skirmish is the same. I only have two complaints. The first is that you can't control the teck level as in previous games. It was fun if you felt like it to limit the level of technology so you could have a massive infrantry war with pill boxes (now gun towers/lasers) or a low level of apc or the like. That feature is missing, and along with my next complaint kept this game from a ten. The second issue is the frame rate. When games gets to MASSIVE with hundreds of units on your side and the AI's or human the game bogs down. This is a must play for a novice or experienced RTS player who owns a 360.… Expand

    Another nice try at having an RTS on a console with nice controls, I'll give it that. But I just don't see the huge deal with these Another nice try at having an RTS on a console with nice controls, I'll give it that. But I just don't see the huge deal with these kinds of games after playing the 2 on my 360. It's not that's there's too much going on, it's that there does't seem to be a point to having so many resources to deal with at once. I know that part of the game is necessary to keep you from having everything at all times, but why not give me a certain number of resources and let me fight like a real war commander? He doesn't deal with building all this crap. it's given to him by a higher power THEN he utilizes it. It's almost like they add all that stuff to do to cover up the fact that there's not much gameplay here outside of managing resources for 80% of the game. Company of Heroes nailed it with the gameplay, management and resources balance, so C&C and other games like it just feel outdated now. Speaking of COH, why can't I zoom in that far in C&C like i could in the aformentioned game to see what's in front of me and all the detial? The details look nice in this game other than some blurriness and screen tearing, but it seems kinda pointless to have all this detial when I can't get close enough to see it. The cutscenes and voice acting are terrible to say the least. Maybe this just isn't my kind of game no matter how much I try to like it, but it just feels pointless. It would be different if there was more action, but it feels like you spend more time building cranes and factories than actually commanding and conquering. They might have changed this a lot since Generals to be faster paced for the console audience, but I think maybe at least for a console they should have rethought the difference in what PC gamers want and what console gamers want. In a word: BORING.… Expand
