    In the end the single player blows, online is fun, and the replayability is lessened by the lack of complexity. It’s a very uninvolved RTS.

    What's most frustrating about Tiberium Wars is that it chooses not to accentuate the breakneck battlefield thrills of C&C's arcade stylings, opting instead to preserve the old blueprint. [May 2007, p.86]

    Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars isn't a bad game, but it hardly feels like a full new game either. It's more like an enhanced expansion pack, with more units, better (but not amazing) graphics and a new storyline.

    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.

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.… Full Review »

    Unimaginative, cliched, uninspired. A step down from Generals in sophistication. There is no more strategy as such, just a matter of churningUnimaginative, cliched, uninspired. A step down from Generals in sophistication. There is no more strategy as such, just a matter of churning out lots of remarkably similar units to keep throwing at a similarly spawning enemy. Boring terrain, boring units, boring gameplay. Vastly inferior to Zero Hour/Destructive Forces. EA clearly know that by dumbing the game down they will attract a lower common denominator with lower expectations. But even so, I'd be very surprised if the game's high score here isn't influenced by some kind of an EA click-farm.… Full Review »
