This is hands down the best game in existance. Tiberian Sun has the plot of a Hollywood movie and is the best RTS out.

The first C&C went places that other games had only dreamed of. I still remember the day I played the Demo of that game. My jaw dropped just looking at the installation screen. I remember I was about 13 years old and had just been introduced into the RTS genre with Blizzards War craft 2. I thought that the game was the bomb. At least until I played Command & Conquer. After playing one demo level of Command & Conquer I was literally walking circles around my room trying to comprehend my experiences. C&C was the best game ever until Red Alert came along which some how managed to improve on perfection and keep it's content original at the same time. Then came a game that would be God like in nature and the word perfection would be an understatement when refereeing to this artwork. A game was made that continued an already epic storyline and brought it up to smash the guts out of ANY Hollywood movie ever made. This game would have an all star Hollywood cast and be the best RTS game if not the BEST game of all time. I find that most of the 1% of earths population that criticise this game for it's graphics or any other reason just have no idea what so ever about ANYTHING at all. I think that it's also important to remember that this game was released almost 8 years ago. This game is timeless. Unlike other masterpieces like Doom which get boring and outdated after a few years Tiberian sun is still on the top of most peoples playing pile. Whether it is for it’s interactive movie experience of its single player or the uncanny RTS multiplayer Tiberian Sun is not from this world. I have never seen an accumulation of creative and pure genius that is portrayed within this epic masterpiece. With all the eye candy involved in this game the producers (Westwood studios the gamming gods) still managed to keep the overall standard in game features totally balanced but different at the same time. The music and sound effects were spot on and so was the interface. I can honestly say that this game was flawless apart from the in game visuals lacking in some areas. This however is just nit picking and like I said before you must remember that the game was released in 99 but had been under construction for a few years before hand. Besides RTS games are not about nice colours and eye candy. It's the game that's most important and the trivial issues with the games graphics were easerly surpassed 500 times by Tiberian suns cut scenes, storyline and depth. In total it's hard to put a name to something that is part of your life like this. The theme was Sci-Fi and Westwood drew from many of the Genres best sources. Robocop, Terminator, Independence day, Aliens, the list goes on. However in no way think that the producers of this game ripped anything off. All Westwood did was take the core ideas and bring them to the next level. I must say that I feel Game spots review on this game extremely underrates it.
