Command and Conquer is a masterpiece. The game revolutionized the role of strategic games to this day. Never has a strategy game grasped so many fans and caused such an awesome appeal for the public. The public were almost crying for the new installment to be released. Over the course of the game you play as your chosen side; the GDI (Global Defense Initiative) or the Brotherhood of Nod. Both sides claim they are fighting for a just cause, but in this circumstance, Nod are the enemy. Your chosen army offers unique units to their side and an amazing range of buildings to construct your base. Command and Conquer isn't called a strategy game for nothing. There are so many ways to defeat your opponent whether it be a full-scale invasion or an undercover mission. This game keeps you gripping the edge of your seat to the very end. Between each mission you are given a briefing by your head in command. These short movies aren't animated, they are proper footage that was added to the game to give it a sense of reality. The game holds a magnificent soundtrack that sets the mood of the game. It features several tracks that are of high value and are enough to satisfy the music aspect of the game. Also, when you select a unit, it greets you in an appropriate fashion and when you send them into battle they yell a warcry. Could this be any better? Well, the game features an amazing multi-player system that can keep you occupied for hours, discovering new ways of defeating live opponents. Command and Conquer is a brilliant game and well worth the money. If you want a decent classic, this is the one to get. It's hard to find it in the shop now, it had it's time. Now it's remembered as one of the greatest games of all time.
