This was my first C&C 3 game, and i can guarantee you it won't be my last. There a lot of great things about Tiberium Wars, like its incredibly faced paced gameplay, which makes for intense, action-filled matches that don't drag on forever. Gameplay: My favorite part about this game. Never have i played a more action filled RTS game. In literally minutes you are cranking out tanks and soldiers of all kinds and engaging the enemy in all out warfare. The single player campaign's gameplay is good, not quite as good as the multiplayer's, but good. The campaign may seem hard for the first thirty or so minutes, but once you figure out how to successfully be able to defend your base, each mission is a breeze. C&C 3 features a lot of live action video in between missions. over 90 minutes actually. The actors are great and really make the campaign more enjoyable. You will find yourself wanting to crush the mission you are on just so you can see what happens in the next cutscene. Graphics: This area could have used some improvement. While the graphics are incredible and probably the best of any RTS to date, some of the effects could have been improved, and the game sometimes doesn't really feel "next-gen". But if you have your xbox hooked up to a high def tv then this game will look awesome.
Sound: Sound is great. Scrin sounds are quite odd and appropriately alien. Explosions are nice, and overall the sound in Tiberium Wars just makes the battles all the more intense and action-packed.
Value: People who really love this game will find themselves playing it for months, as there are three campaigns to beat on three difficulty settings, and you are encouraged to go back and complete bonus objectives for achievements. Value is found in the multiplayer as well. Players can compete in unranked or ranked matches in five different game types, including Versus, King of the Hill, Capture and Hold, Capture the Flag, and Siege. You will find yourself constantly coming back for more.
Setbacks: Graphics could have used a bit of work in Tiberium Wars. Apart from that, most of the online community plays games with random factions, so if youre only good with one faction and refuse to play as any other, you may have a hard time finding a match. Campaign can grow too easy for experienced players, even on hard difficulty.
When all is said and done, Tiberium Wars is a superb game, and will be the king on console RTS's for some time to come. I highly recommend you grab a copy and get in the action!
