A few points to complete the Gamespot review

User Rating: 8 | Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars PC
Below is information not mentioned in the main review:

1) removed after patching.

2) There are maps in singleplayer (campaign and skirmish) which encourage certain tactics beside your usual gamestyle. Capturing map key points like tiberium drills and buildings can make a huge difference.

3) In multiplayer these tactics are more a loss of time and money than actually helpful. You need to create certain units faster than your opponent. So MP can be a bit repetitive after a while. 4) Forget all about turtling. It doesn't work online or offline. Unless you are playing in a lan with someone you know and have made an arrangement with him. In general when both teams have turtled the less agrressive one will eventually loose. Therefor you won't have the vast armies feeling of Totala Kingdoms.

4) Tank spamming is considered one of the best tactics. It will be reduced to a degree with patch 1.05 but my opinion is that it will still be effective. So if you consider tank spamming a lame tactic and want to get online then this game probably is not for you as you will face it really often.

5) You are definitely not going to see the videos shown between missions in the Golden Globes. They look more like short B-movies. BUT this lack of quality is what gives the element of "cult" in the game.

6) Main campaigns are highly replayable thanks to the several difficulties and variety of objectives availlable.

7) Maps of famous earth locations do not really have similarities with these locations. Yes, it is a futuristic game but still they should implement more similarities with real life cities. Therefor when playing the Sydney map for example do not expect to recognise familiar buildings as it was possible in Red Alert.

8) There aren't really many units in this game. And from those availlable some are completely useless even when upgraded. And as far as upgrades are concerned Age of Empires 2 had more availlable and useful.
