User Rating: 9.2 | Command & Conquer: Renegade PC
Renegade is an excellent game. With the graphics at the highest setting of 1280 x 1040 on my 32MB Nvidia card, the graphics are very easy on the eyes, with detailed landscapes and weather effects like rain, lightning, snow. For someone new to FPS like myself, Renegade is a gentle well-scaled introduction to programs of this type that will remain fun to play for a very long time. For single player mode, there are many additional maps available at the fan sites, so you need not play online to continue enjoying the game after finishing the supplied campaign, which seems to me to have a lot of replay value. Highly experienced players of FPS games will say the technology has moved on, I suppose, but I really wonder if any of the newer games really have as much to offer the player new to FPS as Renegade? Particularly when you take the price into account ... Perhaps some day EA will do a Renegade II. We can always hope.
