Review by Gamespot
"Xbox 360 owners are in for a treat with Tiberium Wars. First and foremost,
it's an excellent real-time strategy game that features an intense story and a
well-rounded set of multiplayer options. It's spirited and fun, and a great way
for console enthusiasts to experience the fast and frantic action of a Command
& Conquer game. Yet it's no mean feat that it plays so well without a mouse
and keyboard.
By using an intuitive control scheme similar to Electronic Arts' own Battle
for Middle-earth 2, Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars proves that strategy
has a big role to play on consoles. If you have an Xbox 360 and even the
remotest interest in earth-shattering explosions or campy science fiction, you
owe it to yourself to pick up a copy…Not only is it a great game, but it's a
great example of a console RTS done right. If you've never played a Command
& Conquer game before, there's no better time than the
present." 8.7/10
THE GOOD – Exciting campaign features a ton of quality, full-motion video,
Fast-paced gameplay is fun and exhilarating, Controls work well and are easy to
learn, Five multiplayer modes will keep you coming back for more.
THE BAD – Game is picky with structure placement, Washed-out visuals and
recurrent frame-rate stutters mute some of the pizzazz.
Review by IGN
“…The fast paced nature of the game can make things a little bit
frustrating in the story mode, especially when you can’t quickly reload a
mission once things go sour. Even so, the presentation and good mission design
work with the decent controls to make for an enjoyable game. The online play has
a great feature set and with a level playing field is great fun. When you put it
all together, you’ve got one impressive little game.” 8.2/10
