Excellent strategy game!
User Rating: 8.8 | Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun PC
If you're into wartime strategy games, sink your wardog teeth into Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun. It's the sequel to the award-winning Command and Conquer, and it is a definite improvement over C&C. If you've never heard of C&C, you'll most likely be confused about the storyline. Kane, the leader of the terrorist organization "The Brotherhood of Nod" is back, obviously changed from a previous wartime encounter, and once again is holding the world hostage with his followers and the benefits his research on Tiberium, a strange crystalline growth that is slowly destroying the Earth and horribly mutating the human population. You can play either as the commander of the Global Defense Initiative (GDI, the good guys), or as the commander of Nod forces and bring the world to its knees. Both sides are fun to play as, with different technologies and maps available. Using different types of soldiers and vehicles, you are given a wartime objective to complete by any means possible. Essentially, find a way to kill every enemy without falling yourself. As strategy games go, everything is fought from above, and you command your forces to move and destroy at your bidding. The interface is easy to use, the graphics are stellar although you're viewing everything from high up, and the action is addictive. The game is indeed challenging, but we all need a game that can stump us every once in a while. So for those of you who enjoy strategy games, you'll enjoy this as well. C&C is a great action series, and Tiberian Sun is a very good addition to the lineage. And for those who don't play strategy games, you're missing out and should really give this game a try. It can really expand your horizons. And if you're into sci-fi, these games will fit right into your collection. The cutscenes and general storyline fit right into the league of a show you'd see on Sci-Fi Channel, except you control the action. Overall, two guns way up for this game!
