    Awesome graphics, smooth gameplay, best part is the FMV sequences. Finally a C&C game that brings me back to the classic games. Love it!

    The game-play found in C&C 3 was great 10 years ago, but it doesn't compare to todays RTS games with deeper game-play. Even Starcraft has more depth. Kane is about the only thing good in C&C 3.

    In light of currently amazing RTS game releases such as Company of Heroes, Medieval 2, and Supreme Commander, it seems strange that anyone would release a game that feels as archaic and looks as average as C&C 3 does. I suppose that there's some logic in providing an RTS games that more lower-end PCs can run smoothly but overall, this game just feels too 'meh'.

I suppose that there's some logic in providing an RTS games that more lower-end PCs can run smoothly but overall, this game just feels too 'meh'. The whole fast-paced rush-rush gameplay is no longer as fun as it was in the dawn of the genre and the game brings no new innovations and actually foists off some clunky User Interface designs that actually make the game less user-friendly that some older games in its category. Just an average game all-around. Don't fall for the hype, buy Supreme Commander or Company of Heroes, or even Medieval 2 before you pick up this throwback game.… Expand

    The game-play is like Tiberium Sun! And that is good, but i should say some things a not ready and this game will played on WCG. That will be a look how balanced that game is... I'm excited!

    I have always been a big C&C fan, and this really disappointed me. The game looks great, and runs smooth, but thats about it. The whole game felt very childish to me. The way the GI's just fall over and start doing push-ups when they're not busy, the way missiles leave funny looking crooked smoke tails, among other things. I am definitely not planning to buy this game. My hatred I have always been a big C&C fan, and this really disappointed me. The game looks great, and runs smooth, but thats about it.

    OFMG! EA has brought C&C back from the dead and it's even better than I could have ever imagined! If you've ever played an RTS game before, you'd be a fool not to go out a buy this one!

    Bad gameplay. Graphics look like Dawn of War, stale. Doesn't match either Supreme Commander or COH, in fact, doesn't match Dawn of War.

    Nothing new in terms of game-play, just pretty graphics. If you like the same old style game-play that apparently will not change, this game is for you. Very disappointing.

The game was clearly designed for the soul purpose of shooting for the lowest common denominator. The game is just pure shallow, they even removed the intense micro CnC was known for and made it all automatic, you just can't do that in a small scale 10 unit a faction a game. On top of all this the balance is horrid, the Mammoth completely obliterates anything, compare it to the NOD's Avatar it is crap, the Avatar when fully upgraded costs more then twice the price of a fully upgraded Mammoth and it's weaker then the Mammoth and doesn't have anti air! The Mammoth basically then owns all tanks, owns infantry, with the rail it makes infantry entirely pointless and it owns most of the air AND THIS IS A TANK YOU CAN GET A FEW MINUTES INTO THE GAME?!?! All these factors come together to make CnC 3 literally the most shallow RTS game ever made and don't think the balance will be fixed in the final oh no they already are finished with the game and are working on it's first patch which likely won't come out for months and will end up making things worse then they are. I didn't think RTS games could be made so casual and just so wrong on so many levels. The game is complete trash really, they took a step back from the intense micro of Generals back to 1 unit tank spam. The game has a nice old novelty to it at first, but once you dig in you get hands full of crap. The game was clearly dumbed down for the console version.… Expand

    It's action-packed gameplay; attractive, colorful visuals; and star-studded videos are sure to draw in both hardcore fans of the series and large numbers of new players. [Apr 2007, p.20]

    It's deeply hilarious - as aracde-feeling as strategy games can get...It does everything it can, bar a song and dance routine, to entertain you. And it succeeds. [Apr 2007, p.62]

    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.
