C&C Rocks!!!

User Rating: 8.4 | Command & Conquer: Renegade PC
C&C Renegade was a brilliant idea: fight as a commando in C&C battles that are complete with usable C&C vehicles and buildings. At times, it lives up to its promising premise. The C&C feel is great. The seeing the weapons, vehicles, and buildings up close is a delight for any C&C fan. Kane makes some appearances, and I'm pretty sure they even used the same "enemy soldier dying" sound bit from the original RTS game. Sometimes, Renegade was just incredible. Running through a battlefield, gunning down Nod soldiers, and riding the tanks I fondly remember commanding...now that's a good game. However, between the brilliant in-the-battle missions are boring, long, and derivative missions like "sneak through the submarine" or "sneak through the science facility". The AI is kind of crappy, so when Renegade goes down to a small, vehicle-less scale, its pretty mediocre. Once you get back onto the battlefield, you'll love it.

If C&C Renegade had been structured like a C&C game (i.e., each mission is a different battle) rather than like your normal shooter, it would have been much better. Even so, its pretty fun, despite some inconsistencies.
