    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    This game is a slap in the face for anyone that was a fan of C&C and an absolute farce for the finalie in the series. If EA were smart they would remake 4 in the spirit of the original series and give us what we actually wanted. Would be a good PR move and would win me back over.

The only way EA can expect my custom again would be to publish a CNC that was truly 10/10 material. Otherwise.. **** 'em. TibSun life.    … Expand

If you would take away the command and conquer title away and set this game in a different universe it might be bad not plain awful like this game is, what do EA expect taking away all of the base mechanics that made this franchise so great? This was the end of command and conquer. There really isn't anything in this game that is good (except for Joe Kucan as Kane as usual): Gameplay, story, multiplayer, everything was done wrong.… Expand

    I would rather go into a Tiberium Vein field, whip that sand @ss, sniff the green toxic gas that came of it and turn into a visceroid than call C&C 4 a C&C game. Tiberium Twilight is an always-online abomination straight from the depths of EA's creatively bankrupt hell. Even mutants and Tiberium fiends can make a better game than this clusterphuck of a C&C title!

    Consider myself a die hard fan of the series. Played red alert, found it to be a little too silly but hell still plated it at least twice on all the campaigns. 1/2/3 for C&C were fun, no complaints really... but this. This is a monstrosity.

There is no resource harvesting, just one huge mobile base and a stream of units you don't care about. Dawn of War II did it and it was playable, this game wasn't even good enough to try to rip off a GOOD GAME for their new roll-out. I really felt sick trying to figure out the layout. Like the need to go sit in a corner and stare at the wall. I didn't read their warnings, I doubt this one will change your mind...

    The game that killed the once mighty series
    Besides the cut scenes has nothing to do with any other command and conquer.
    Terrible
    Wish they'd reboot the series with another Kane's wrath styled game. Or maybe as time travel is integral to red alert; how about pursuing further into that lore, by having a multi era title?

    A once proud RTS series, reduced to a pathetic game of rock-paper scissors, with no tactics other then what counters what, and no resource management or base building. The only thing Tiberian Twilight has in common with the earlier entries in the series, even with the third game, is the presence of Joe Kucan as Kane- and the dead, empty look in his eyes tells you what you need to know.A once proud RTS series, reduced to a pathetic game of rock-paper scissors, with no tactics other then what counters what, and no resource management or base building.

It feels you are leading cartoon characters to fight! When units fire it does not feel like they do anything except maybe throwing paper planes. In previous C&C’s you could feel and hear a rocket being fired and rocket hitting the target. Here it feels that just a swarm of flies is flying around. In first C&C tanks where made of metal, exploding when destroyed and solders where dying when shoot at them. In Twilight you don’t notice when something is gone.
    No economy whatsoever – big critical part of the game missing. Everyone wants to collect tiberium, and have harvesters!
    Why to do something like this, I am playing it and will try to finish it through very painful gameplay just so I can see epic film scenes that are still surprisingly fantastic!!
    It seems that large companies all around world are unable to see why the first games where/are popular, like it is lost through machinery of offices and people that are trying to “better” something that is already unique. It is like someone took game of football and changed outfits in warm yellow/pink onesies filled with fluffy cotton and wool. Also installing seats on the field and sitting players down, only letting them throw the ball to each other without running or fighting for it with glows on and ball made of wool. You cannot beat first feeling I had when C&C was installed on my MS-DOS system but you could have continued it. EA has ripped its soul out that was created by the Westowood team. Why to destroy something beautiful?

    Its defiantly a real let down after Command and Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath, if you to play any of Tiberium war games, Play Cnc 3 and its expansion Kane's Wrath.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is not real time strategy game, it is a real time tactic game. You don't have to manage ressources, base construction or anything like that, just your units, their placement and checking they target the good ennemies when you send them somewhere to defend an area.

    The cutscenes that make the game story are a complete failures in three points, most actors are bland and don't give a real life to their characters, and the dialogs are a total mess. Also their is the slight fact that they did not bother to try to make their . You're in 2077 ,laser and EM weapons have existed in your universe for more than 40 years (tiberian sun happened in 2034) and you still use the most basic of handguns to escape jail.

    The storyline completely went over the Scrin Invasion presented in the tiberium wars secret campaign and Kane's wrath ending to just focus on Kane ascending.

    In short, the changes in gameplay are an attempt to fix something that was never broken. The changes in the story are an attempt to make you forget there was 3 playable armies.    … Expand

    Oh god, the horror. C&C is a RTS series about base building and military expansion. This sequel completely guts those elements, but you don't find that out until after you've bought it. What a horrible, truly pathetic end to the series. It only even gets 1 point due to having Kain in it. Were it not for that, I'd have rated it a 0.

    went and got the ultimate collection which came with this garbage game again gave it a second chance graphics were well ok I suppose I think command and conquer 3 was tuned up a bit better especially how nice the tiberium fields looked and the ambience of the whole environment anyways enough about that so played it tried to give it a fair chance its user interface is changed for the worse I believe build style for the small handful of buildings similar to red alert 2 but worse (yes somehow over 10 years they made something worse that worked before) ontop of that it did not have a command and conquer feel to it felt like some cheap rip off like how flappy bird is to angry birds lol don't have much else to say that hasn't already been said by a angry crowd of 508 people

    Ps: Generals 2: A free game with a similar unlock system but buildings and no caps. Only problem I can see is micro transactions.

    It's clear that EA are onto something with their new-age C&C formula but, as it stands, the core needs a little work. The series, once the most explosive game of the medium, looks like it's going out with a whimper.
