Dear old friend...
It's been a wait worth while; even though I miss Westwood I can't complain on EA's job in this matter. C & C 3 is as good as it gets. As many of you I saw the trailers, lasers flying off everywhere and I thought; "Is this going to be like 'Generals', nice in the beginning, but just a crapy game? C & C 3 is nothing of the sorts. Every minute detail is enjoyable, from the very start. "Welcome back commander, welcome back old friend..."
You start to smile when you see those familiar words and then you are plunged into the action. First you are met by Sam Fishers voice, and you go, "Hey, don't I know that dude..." - and of course you do. Michael Ironside is always a nice treat when cast as a voice actor, but it is nice to see his old wrinkles and hear that voice that makes you take the game seriously...
GDI & NOD are back in a clash, trying to rule the earth, but in reality, trying to rule our perception of a good time; I will not choose a side, because all of the sides are great fun...
You'll love the plot, the storytelling, the in-game films, the faces of the actors, the attitude not to say the graphics that are wonderful. I just turned up everything on max and couldn't believe all the nice things. Shadows, reflexes, physics, the easy control, the colours, the explosions, everything we loved as kids really capture the ones of us that are adults...
Buy it for heavens sake, don't download it, give these guys the signal that we loved what they did, they deserve it... Long live GDI, or was it NOD!? :)
