Review by Keith on 21st July, 2011
5 stars "A solid workable console RTS"

A good game but is suppost to carry on from Tiberium Sun and this time Kane doesn't have a half iron and tiberium half fleshed face, a plot hole.

I used to play every Command and Conquer game I could get my hands on from its beginning on the PC so I'm a big fan.

Cinematics have remained staying true to previous games and still works today as it did back then all those years ago instead of using animation like in other games you see today.

Three factions you fight for, GDI and NOD (of course) but also a new faction called SCRIN that debuts later on in the game. Achievements are included related to SCRIN.

Its fun to have a few groups of NOD riflemen or GDI riflemen and zoom the game up close to them to really take in the ability of what the game and your Xbox 360 machine can do.

One of the best RTS games on the Xbox 360. It shouldn't let you down.

3 stars "Good, But not the best"

After the two campaigns are completed I found the game a little boring with the basic skirmishes. From the start you can see this game is suppose to be a PC game but its bearable.

A 3 out of 5 only because it needs a few tweaks with the selecting of units or scrolling the map. Also the Xbox Live provided little entertainment with because it would take so long to find another player then half the time the lag was so bad that the host would just leave. This sends all players back to the main menu. Very frustrating.

5 stars "Exceeded my expectations"

Command & Conquer fans and the like will know that the C&C series was a PC based game. So your main control was a two or three button mouse. Personally I think they've done a awesome job of the control system on the Xbox 360 version and made it very user-friendly.

If you're new to the ‘Command & Conquer’ series or new to Real-Time Strategy games (RTS). You will still have a good chance to learn how the game works and what your role is. i.e. the in-game Tutorial. Where you are taught all the basics of the game, to get you fimilar with the controls and gameplay etc.

Graphics are awesome and enough to hold interest. The sound is also great and adds more intensity to what's going on. With realistic sounds of guns/explosions + war music etc, it ties in well with the graphics. The frame rate is okay but seems to drop a little when the screen is too intense, i.e. full of movement/animation.

My favourite part is probably the multi-player on Xbox Live. Everything you do in gameplay affects
the outcome of a situation.I've noticed lots of gamers out there have their own style, which is a good challenge. At times you have to think hard about how you're going to do something and that links to the stategy side of it all.

With all the maps, missions, modes etc, there's tonnes of replay value in this game. I can see Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Xbox 360) feeding the Command & Conquer fans, aswell as drawing in those unfimiliar with C&C and/or ‘RTS’ games.

Review by kenneth on 19th May, 2007
4 stars "Almost as good as on PC"

RTS on console has always been a “no go” for me and battle for middle earth just reinforced my belief that you can't play RTS games on a controller. When i saw C&C in the shop i thought na it will be awful, but i was convinced to buy it and try it then bring it back if i didn't like it. One word, WOW the control system has totally improved since BFME this game rocks! it looks amazing and after a short tutorial it is simple to play. Don't be hestitant about th controls they are very user friendly as for the rest of the game ITS C&C what else is there to say. AMAZING!!
