Great old game. But could have been loads more better.
The story is excellent and puts you right into the action from mission one. The is of corse the first C&C game ever made and introduces the factions for GDI and NOD and shows us the best video game character of all time, Kane. He is a legend to us all. The live action scenes are well done for its time and enjoyable. It can be funny to see the bad animated videos of some ingame units mixed with the live action, but thats what you get with a really old game.
The graphics are terrible compared to today but thats expected right? For there time they where excellent.
This is 1 big issue with this game that makes it perform under par with any other C&C game in the series and that is "No Skirmish mode" I love skirmish games and this game sadly has nothing in the way of this. I feel this affects the game in the way that there is almost no replay value with it after completing it about 2 or 3 times.
They added an expansion for this game as well with new maps and missions, still no skirmish mode sadly but they set the new missions out in the style of a skirmish allowing you to build everything your army has, this was good but the missions are set out so bad that there is almost no story line to them and quite pointless.
I give this game a solid 8/10 for great gameplay and a great commando unit. But sadly the no Skirmish function and the poor story line for the expansion pack make this classic game fall shorter than it really should have.
