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 ... ...than basic tanks in the command and conquer series, they can deploy and fire out of range at enormous speed and power everything goes BOOM!!

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Advantages: Good gameplay and added features Disadvantages: erm...
Command & Conquer is one of the original real time strategy games. It was one of the very first titles to use that style of gameplay, and has built quite a following out of sequels and add-on packs. Tiberian Sun is an all-new game, and takes place far into the future of the original C&C storyline. Two campaigns exist in the game, depending upon which side you will fight. In the GDI campaign, the game begins with the sudden reappearance of the long-thought-dead ... ...McNeil (the player's character) is quickly dispatched to secure the hostile area and put a stop to the newly-revived Brotherhood of Nod. In the Nod campaign, in-fighting between Nod forces causes a rift, and as Slavik, you will try to unite them and bring the brotherhood back to a powerful standing. The biggest change in Tiberian Sun over all of its predecessors is the graphics. The game world is truly amazing, including all sorts of special effects ...

...classic Real Time Strategy game Command & Conquer : Tiberian Dawn at last appears in the office, much to my surprise only a couple of years late!
So where to start? C&C:TS has been a game anticipated ever since people saw the preview video on the very original C&C game, but has it held true to the vision depicted in that video? Well for a short answer, no it hasn't. This does not mean it is a bad game, infact quite the opposite it is still a very, ... ...little gems include when your command craft enters the battle field, as it's destruction makes you automatically lose, after all if you're dead you've lost right?
One thing I must stress is my love for Nods burrowing units they are an amazing addition, and whilst they tend not to fool the computer much when used against a human opponent can be devastating, also the Orca Carryall, from the GDI, if used correctly and in large numbers can drop a sizeable ...

Advantages: Some nice missions. Two full discs worth. Disadvantages: Poor graphics. Very dated. No strategy at all.
Unlike most of the other Opinions I've seen here, I had never played a C&C game before getting Tiberian Sun so I had no idea what to expect.
After going through the first mission as a way of training myself in the techniques of the game, I have to say I was hooked. You will be too.
From the start the game appears impressive in that it comes on two discs and allows you to play as either of the two main adversaries in the C&C world. I won't use the ... ...and territorial. Once into the game, you have the standard RTS fare. There is only one resource, Tiberium, which you harvest and store. This "currency" is required to build units and buildings. Erecting a certain building may give access to new troop types or other constructions such as Defence Lasers and barricade walls. This has both positive and negative effects on the game. The negative side is obvious, one resource means there is very little ...

It's recommended to buy because it's still a good game and over the 80% mark makes it a very good game. But bear mind that the gameplay is only rated 70% in my opinion. ...

As you can tell by my title I wasn't exactly thrilled with the sequal to a tremendous game. When i heard the sequal was being launched I expected a similar game but with a new storyline, different levels of playability, unforunately I didn't really get this, I bought Tiberian sun as I became bored of red alert, but it is almost the same game but with a couple of new features i.e. new tanks etc For those of you who dont know this game is a war stratyegy ...

Before buying this game, i had a played a demo and thought that it is an improvement on the other 2 games, which is a feat in itself as they were bloody class too. The game carries on from the first one and is much better. The graphics are clean and crisp, the story line is good and the units are bloody good, they make you stray away from the tank rushes of Red Alert, which is Good as it makes you think about your strategy. The cut scenes are informative ...

When it arrived, I installed it and began playing. My first reaction was 'wow'! It had the same ease of control as the other C&c's. with the select and point playing style.

Domination. Kill all the opposition to win. In this mode there is no restriction to what you can build.
