Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (PC)

Advantages: Excellent, addictive gameplay, exciting storylines, entertaining videos and cut scenes, brilliant array of units!!!
Disadvantages: Too one sided NOD have a huge advantage over GDI, and you cannot save the video cut scenes which is frustrating!

Alas the true birth of command and conquer is finally here, some of us have waited an eternity to see the outstanding strategy, and gripping storylines rise above the rest of computer gaming.After the abismal release of the embarrassing command and conquer which was later relased on consoles such as the playstation and N64 many found the game so bad that it was unplayable,Westwood deperately needed ideas to boost a franchise and in my opinion make ...

Ahhhh the most deadly,ridiculously good unit in the whole game, we come to the artillery's they're pretty cheap and when deployed can waste anything in shrapnel even when half way across the bleedin battlefield jeeesh.Harpy's are just mere gun choppers and the banshees trust me are like the mamoth cough very ...

Advantages: Improved graphics
Disadvantages: None

This game is a improvement on the oringal Commando & Conquer but it was not the massave improvent that many people where hoping for. For example gameplay has not changed much, People who have play C&C will be able to learn how to play this within a few minutes. I did. Don't get me wrong Tiberian Sun is still a great game for a number of reasons. Improved graphics: There are no blockey graphics like in the origial C&C. The graphics are all in a higher ...
...mood and attitude to the battlefield more than ever before. There are now some missions set at night and searchlights to intensify the thrill and excitement. Living battlefield: This is a great feature off the game. Flying shrapnel, shockwaves and crashing debris. The enviorment now plays a bigger part in your attack plan. There are now ion storms which prevent some of the more high-tech unit such as the MRLV for moving. There is also destructible ... Read review

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Only on my slow computer

...the third installment of the Command and Conquer series. At its most basic level the Command and Conquer series provides a strategy gaming experience of immense and elaborate proportions. Tiberian Sun is no exception. The game reintroduces the near-apocalytic world of the future, where good and evil are divided by the forces that are the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod. There are two CDs - each one dedicated to a separate ...
...after another. Each level is linked to the other with video scenes (real actors too!), so I got the sense of being part of a storyline, and not just mindlessly blowing things up. Much has been improved from the previous C&C games. A great deal more is made of the background and landscape, with such things as Ion storms, forest fires, and destructible terrain to keep the gamer busy. The lighting levels are constantly changing which gives the whole ... Read review

Advantages: Two discs so you can lend one to a friend for multiplayer, you can change the graphical detail if its running to slow(very usefull in multiplayer)
Disadvantages: Dont know about anyone else but I have to have Firestorm installed for the game to work.

I didn't get this game until quite a while after release as I misread the minimum requirements and thought that it wouldn't work on my PC (duh!). Anyway, I later discovered my mistake and sold some old games in order to scrape together enough cash. When I went to the shop I found that the price had been raised so I had to go home and beg for some money from my mum. When I gt back, the shopkeeper for some unexplained reason gave me the add-on, Firestorm ...
...to me since). It was lucky that he did because the game dosn't work on my PC unless Firestorm is installed (this does mean that I cant use the cheat to keep Firestorm walls running for as long as I want). The in-game graphics are brilliant(actually 3D now!) and the FMv is superb. While playin you have an isometric view so everything is at 30degrees. And this time, the cliffs and hills are actually raised up instead of 2D images which just about ... Read review

Advantages: Much improved gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: None

First things first: if you liked the original C&C, then you will love this, although it may take a little time to get used to the new look. If you’ve never played C&C before, don’t worry, it won’t affect your playing enjoyment one bit. Here’s a rundown of the various aspects of the game: STORY: The story takes off 20 years or so after the original C&C ‘story’ ended. It seemed like the evil head of the Brotherhood of NOD, Kane, was killed. Or was ...
...guys (GDI) trying to get rid of the bad guys (NOD), or vice-versa, since as with the original you can play as either GDI or NOD. Personally, I wasn’t going to not play the game just because the storyline was a bit unoriginal. GAMEPLAY: The general method of playing the game is again similar to the original C&C: build bases, train troops, build vehicles and various other structures, then wipe out the other side. To add a degree of variation to the ... Read review
