    First great RTS for console, hopefully this starts a trend. Very polished and smooth gameplay. Multiplayer and Skrimish modes extends replayable for as long as you have your 360

    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 This game is great.

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

    C&C3 is a great RTS for the 360, easier to maneuver than LOTR.

    I think this was a great addition to the C&C series and has stunning graphics.

    I think this is leading the way in bringing RTS to the console. If you think back to the days FPS can to console everyone said it wasn't as good as the PC. Look at it now, more players play console FPS games than PC games. I think RTS will end up be mainly on console over the next 5-7 years.

Ok I know its the same game as the PC, but as soon as you play it on a controller its really a different game. Well that's my thoughts… Expand

    I'm impressed. I picked up C&C for 360 and was very surprised to find that the controller is actually usable. While some key functions are missing (move/control using minimap, path waypoints, and map hotkeys), the important ones are pretty intuitive and easy to use. The gameplay itself is great. It retains all of the solid C&C gameplay fundamentals while making improvements wherever I'm impressed. I picked up C&C for 360 and was very surprised to find that the controller is actually usable.

    The campaign is very fun and the live action cut scenes are cheesy in the perfect way. The factions are perfectly balanced in skirmish and online multiplayer. I really love this game and recommend it to any strategy fan although the A.I. is very challenging even on the easy difficulties.

    Good game, better than I expected for a console RTS. As others have mentioned, acting is sub-par, but most of the missions are enjoyable. I may be biased due to the fact that I loved the original C&C, but I thought this was a pretty decent game.

    I was pleasantly surprised to see just how well this handled on a console. Still not as good as the PC, but a good attempt and it ended up being very enjoyable.

    Compelling single player campaigns with a great story arc, a shame the Scrin Campaign was so short and not as flushed out as GDI's or NOD's.

    Overall:
    A good addition to the series and a much needed good RTS game for the consoles.

    Though not perfect, this is the best RTS title you're going to find on a console, bar-none. Even fans of the genre on the PC should give the title's 360 outing a go. You may even find that it's worth losing your keyboard and mouse controls for the comfort of the couch.

    It may not be the most elegant or thoughtful of strategy games, but C&C 3 can't be beat when it comes to super-slick, visceral mayhem. Pledge you allegiance to Kane if you've been craving sizzling RTS action - he won't disappoint you. [June 2007, p.68]

    Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars does all that rather well, and even streamlines the fine BFME2 controls, letting you construct units and buildings without having to scroll back to click on the proper source structure. [June 2007, p.86]
