    I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews for this game. Is it because of the number of hardcore fans who whine about change? The gameplay is addicting and fast-paced, the graphics are slick, the music is awesome. Well worth the money.

    This is one of the worst command and conquer games I have ever played. The campaign was awful. The only thing nice about it was the multiplayer.

    I really like this game, i know its not the traditional C&C game but its a change. I like what they did because it makes the game very fast paced, there is also a lot more action then the other games. People were getting mad because they were not changing the game and as soon as they did everyone got all mad, i give EA props for taking the risk. I love this game and its worth the time and money!

    This game is for those who like more action... a mix of RPG and RTS... I like both... the majority who voted negative probably never played.
    I just had bought the command conquer in playstation one a long time ago, because all versions are similar, but this caught my attention, thanks for that!

    If you are a fan of the series in order to like this game you have to have a open mind for the changes. say to yourself "if i wanna play traditional c&c i can play all of them" but this is something new and offers new ways to play.

This game is excellent. The people who are putting it down, are doing so not because it's a bad game, but because they expected another sidebar, billion unit RTS with little interaction with the maps, and little micromanagement, like the rest of the Command and Conquer games have been. Truth be told, I actually enjoy this style of game much more than I have the previous C&C games. This is coming from a gamer who has played and owned StarCraft: Brood War, StarCraft 2, Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne, Dawn of War 2, Company of Heroes, and all the Age of Empires games. This game takes the series down a more tactical route. There is more focus on army placement and management, and proper use of focus firing with the correct counter units. It has adopted the DoW style of gameplay with control nodes, which I also like, because it forces you out onto the map to engage in battle, rather than simply camping in your base for 15 minutes until its time to fight. The graphics are simply beautiful, and run smoothly on high settings, even on my par system. I give EA credit, as well, for the originality here. Mobile MCV's are a cool addition, and you'll find a plethora of very interesting unit abilities to micromanage. You'll also find strategically placed capturable turrets and Mutant Hovels, which are similar to mercenary camps in WarCraft 3. placed on most of the multiplayer maps.

    Though the hotkeys are not customizable, you'll find most of them are mapped based on their position on the UI, which makes them easy to remember and get used to. There are a ton of units, all of which have their use, and the game is just plain fun. I actually stopped playing StarCraft 2 since I starting playing this game. It's not so fast paced that have a heart attack during every encounter, hence it gives you time to think about your moves and plan out strategies. The battles are fluent, and the unit pathing is smooth.

    Again, excellent game despite the fanboy criticisms. Easily worth the money for any PC RTS fan.    … Expand

    They shouldn't try to follow in the same direction relic did with Dawn of war.

The skirmish mode, while rigid in some areas does allow for some new and interesting tactical decisions with a much greater emphasis on teamwork and larger battles. The crawler idea in itself in interesting and the option are relatively fresh to keep me interested in playing this. All I have to tell myself is that EA accidentally named this a CNC game instead of a brand new franchise. Taking it as a CNC, the game is riddled with faults. The fact that you have to be online to play is extremely frustrating if you're more of a single player person who's in it for the conclusion of the epic Tiberium arc, which, to be honest was a complete and utter let down. The campaigns for both side are horrendously short and fail to meet the standards set by CNC games past. Even Kane himself seem to only be pulling out a half arsed job. So much for an epic conclusion. In addition, the unlocking mechanic is brutal on newer players, who don't have the arsenal at their disposal to take on two other NPCs with essentially a Tier 1 unit spam, almost to the point of forcing co-op play. Indeed, for Skirmish mission, the lack of level matching means that a completely new player and his lvl 1 GDI offense crawler gets his ass handed to him by the lvl 20 Nod player. The fact that in Skirmish you can no longer be GDI vs GDI etc. is also a major ball ache. While I can appreciate what the devs were trying to pull off, something new and relatively innovative, they should have left the last of the Tiberium saga alone with the old mechanics. The story explains why all the tib is receding, but that doesn't mean you couldn't have used a RA3 style mechanic of having tib mines or something. The lack of a proper harvester in a CNC RTS game? Come on guys, seriously? If you're new to the franchise, I'd suggest giving it a look and renting it, as there are some good ideas, but if you're a die hard, probably best to stay away.

With C&C4 however i don't have a clue what they were thinking although a brave move I feel they have failed terribly this game totally ruins the concept of C&C possibly one of the best RTS Sagas of all time I'm very dissapointed with my purchase, But I am going to try and get used to it and see if I can enjoy it in anyway. Now for die hard C7C fan out there I would recommend not bothering honestly your missing nothing, As for EA they seriously need to rethink what they are doing bring back the old WestWood team and let them show you how its done.… Expand

Kane seems to have undergone a personality transplant, ignoring every goal he's ever worked for in the past in an effort to "ascend", although what this ascension is nobody knows as the endings make absolutely no sense at all.

The sleek and dangerous looking stealth tank from C&C3 is now a blocky, over-sized mess. As I've said, no more base building. Instead, you have one mobile command center that produces all of your units. Now if the units and their strategies were more sophisticated, this might have worked. But no. Instead all you have to do is produce a mix of units (which takes about 1 minute) and send them after the enemy. This is even more boring than it sounds.

I think it's a total idiot idea, because you have nothing to defend. Only the Crawler maybe, but you can call another Crawler to the battlefield anytime if you want (in Singleplayer). After you deploy your Crawler, you can train/build your units for nothing. Yes, for nothing. There is no money in the game. Just click on the icon of the wanted unit and wait until it's ready. I think the developers wanted a game like Dawn of War 2. But hey, DoW2 is a real-time strategy with a huge tactical part (e.g. cover system). Where is this tactical part in C&C4? Nowhere! The multiplayer/skirmish has the same problem. It wanted to be like in DoW2 or Company of Heroes's "capture the big outposts to win" mode. But it's not work in this game. After the amazing C&C3, it's a big rubish. I can only say: don't buy this game, if you want a good strategy. If you are a masochist, maybe it's your game. Maybe.… Expand

    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?

It corrupts every single aspect of what is recognisable about Command and Conquer and has a twist ending that just does not work in any way, shape or form. They created a weird DotA clone with even less involvement than aforementioned game with none of the excitement or entertainment value of any of the previous games.

    This ending to the series was not earned, well designed or properly executed and just shows EA up for how disrespectful of the very people they are marketing their games to are. If you find anyone who actually thinks this is a worthy finish to the series, immediately force them to play through every previous game until they see sense.

    The only good thing I will say is that it provides a much needed variation on the standard "which side will you choose?" format, but even that is only a slightly positive thing to say, because it initially forces you into the position of a GDI member instead of fully exploring the possibilities of who you will side with and why?

    Oh, and to everyone saying that change needs to be embraced, you need to recognise the difference between change and the complete redesign of something to the point where it ceases to follow a format that, whilst not perfect was certainly not broken in any way shape or form, and is instead a DotA/Dawn of War 2 rip-off. Furthermore, they've always been changing things here and there, but at the very core it has kept the same format of resource collection, force building and variation in unit types, with super weapons when you wanna be extra-nasty. Lastly: it's an old franchise which many people, including myself, would have grown up playing and are why we're hardcore gamers today. I was 6 when the first game came out and I played it way back then. People are going to be a little upset over a company saying "we couldn't care less about a franchise that is the core reason you're a returning customer and help keep us fed, we just want to turn out an ineffectual finalisation to something we have blatant disregard for".    … Expand

For starters, the graphics and unit models in this game are appaling to look at. This game looks like it was designed to be played on Windows 98. Second off, EA has somehow arrived at the conclusion that C&C fans are tired of mining resources, micromanaging, base building, and overall just having fun while playing a game. EA blatantly tries to steal the Dawn of War II playstyle (1 building that produces units) and then bungles that by forgetting one of the key components that every RTS should contain, resource management. There is 0 resource gathering. None. Zippo. You and your opponent just take turns spamming out as many units as you can (about 10 on the field at a time, maximum) and then just walk them over to the enemy base and let them shoot poorly animated projectiles until they die. More importantly, the Nod and GDI tech trees are almost identical. The only real difference in the two sides is the unit colors, because almost every vehicle or soldier on one side has a perfectly corresponding counterpart on the other. Words cannot describe what an atrocity this game is. The live acting cut scenes (every true C&C fan has been wetting their pants watching the trailers with Kane ever since this game's launch date was announced) are pretty much the only thing that return unscathed. The bottom line I'm trying to make here is that this game is bad. Not redeemable, not fawed, not a "game with potential limited by some design errors", just B-A-D. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not a fan of RTS games and should be shot for suggesting this abortion of a title to you. All of this is not even taking into account the fact that the game has EA's classic paranoid DRM policy that requires you to be online while you play the game. That's right, if you don't have an internet connection, you aren't playing this game. Period. Anyone remember how well that worked out for Mercenaries 2, another title EA managed to crap all over with their anti pirating ideas? If this game was offered to me for half the price I would still turn it down.

    C&C game check. fun.... nope.. command point system: not as much fun as resource management.. crawler stance choice (IE offense, defense , support) fails to be anything but annoying solo game play: what a joke its bad enough to force us to log in to ea to play solo .. but the campaign almost forces you to play mulit player,,, epic fail end result last EA rts i buy with out a hard look..

    I have played C & C since 1995 when it first came out. I was 35 Years old then and I thought it was a better invention than the wheel or the discovery of fire by man - even I played it on my antique DX 100Mz desktop computer Ie. 10% of 1 GHz process power with 8mb RAM!!!! But C & C 1 was the Best, Counterstrike, Red Alert 1, Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun, C & C 3 excellent, Kanes Wrath Great! I have played C & C since 1995 when it first came out.

    Though the game does get rid of fighting for ore/tibirum, i think it is a major setback for C&C. A lot of the strategy of the game is taken away when you can only build no more then 20 units, and don't have to worry about resources. Also, the stupid crawler/mcvs are overpowered and add a lot of pointless BS requirements to missions. I actually think the single player is broken Though the game does get rid of fighting for ore/tibirum, i think it is a major setback for C&C.

Also, the stupid crawler/mcvs are overpowered and add a lot of pointless BS requirements to missions. I actually think the single player is broken becuase the missions really only have 1-2 ways of completing them successful, not multiple paths to victory like in old C&C games. In addition, taking away the ability to build both offensive units, defensive units, support units and buildings at the same time make the actual planning and strategy of the game on a super low level. This game is a serious disappointment, I want Westwood studios back.… Expand

    Was not at all worth the money, and it is not at all deserving of the score it received. Critics, your opinions suck and are more often than not, wrong. I can't even bloody zoom in or out in this game, you can't build bases, you cant send your individual units into cover, you send an army straight at an enemy and sit there for a bit just watching them shoot eachother...

I can't even bloody zoom in or out in this game, you can't build bases, you cant send your individual units into cover, you send an army straight at an enemy and sit there for a bit just watching them shoot eachother... The most notable mess-up I noticed was at the very beginning, after I started thinking "This kinda sucks, when does base building and army massing and good graphics come in?"; Escorting Kane to wherever-it-was and being faced with three Obelisks of Light and thinking "I only have nine tanks... what the hell am I going to do?". Not only did I make it, I didn't lose a single bloody tank, whereas in the others, a single Obelisk is able to batter an army around. WHY EA didn't feel the need to Beta test this game to see how people would react is beyond me. It's a simple bloody thing to show someone something and ask for their opinion. At the very least they could have asked the makers of Dawn of War 2 for a bloody hint since they tried fairly hard to have the same form of gameplay. Worst waste of $50.00, and I mourn the loss of what was supposed to be an epic games triumphant conclusion, but hey, at least EA got their money, why should they care?… Expand

    EA has trashed the venerable C&C series with this insulting entry, C&C 4. No base-building/resource gathering, A disgusting lack of depth to the single-player campaign,and,last but not least,the inability to even play unless you log-in to EA's servers in the name of protecting against piracy.Well, the fans,and gamers in general should not be forced into paying-the-price for piracy.

Data-mining in disguise and a slap-in-the-face to gamers. The game gets a 1 for no other reason than it has a "place" in the c&c lineage,even though it is a dishonorable place.

    This was Command and Conquer? Felt like I was playing some other game the entire time. So I have a unit collect these... Crystals to upgrade my units? No Tiberium to harvest? Where did it all go? Thought the world was nearly un-inhabitable with all of it. The Story-Line needed a LOT of work. It was like a 6year old wrote a short story and there it was. The combat system needs work.

And what was this idea of a Command Point system? I can understand a unit cap, but what? My army is small man! Where is the Command in that? Moveable MCV? Ok, I can understand in Skirmish but.. Really? Just move it anywhere i want? Deploy zones? What am I playing, A board game? Must start here! Sigh. I expect a LOT more out of the final game for the Tiberium Series. A LOT more. This was very weak. Wish I could take my game back but all I would get is in-store credit for a used game that is already registered. Sorry EA, but your Fail Truck has arrived. Replay all the C&C Games that involved Tiberium and you will see all that you Failed in.… Expand

    It's nothing at all like Command & Conquer, but - eventually - it's a thoughtful and bombastic multiplayer RTS that's welcoming to everyone.

    Tiberian Twilight's online play and persistent unlocks make for short-term fun, but the mediocre campaign doesn't give Kane the send-off he deserved.

    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.
