Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun

The game is enjoyable, although it gets quite hard. The special effects are good, and the plot is great. The character of McNeil is super, and excellently portrayed by Michael Biehn. James Earl Jones is also good as General Solomon, although some of the supporting acting is bad. But it is a computer game after all, but the bonus of having my favourite actor in the movie scenes is a special treat.

Well, what can I say? The "real" Command and Conquer 2 follows on from 1.5 (Red Alert) and then some.

As in the first game, you can take control of either the evil NOD or the heroic GDI. Each faction has its own attributes, and both are fairly evenly matched. When you have selected your side, you are treated to a FMV sequence, where star actors such as James Earl Jones or Michael Biehn have put in some of the best performances in a video game. Once the sequence is over, you're into the game, and it plays just the same as other RPGs - point, click and build.

But it's on the multi-player side of things that the game really scores. Westwood, the developers, have obviously put in a lot of time and effort into the making the multi-player game as even as possible, whatever side you choose. And, with a ranking system you know just how good the person you're playing against is.

Get it now!!!

This game is the best RTS (Real Time Strategy) game to date, with magnificant AIs, awesome graphics and changing day time, full 3D terrain and all but that won't mean scrap to the tight movie goers.

So I will talk about the filmed sequences, I haven't played the game much but it's way improved since Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert, they film mostly in real scenery, like inside and aircraft, a station, out in the desert but there are still parts of animation (Since ORCA Aircrafts don't exist yet) which are very good as well, the scenes are acted splendedly and look seemlessly realistic, I haven't played much but it's still great.

I think that this is one of the best games I have played. It is probably even THE best. The pre-mission videos are brilliant. The cast is brilliant (Michael Biehn and James Earl Jones are some of the well known actors in it). Joseph D. Kucan plays Kane (as usual). The gameplay itself is not a major step forward from the previous C&C games but the graphics, units and general feel of the game are much better. Rade at Westwood Studios has really outdone himself this time.

As I said before. This is one of the best games out. I think that if you like RTS games you will DEFINITELY like this one. It's a must for all game players. I am looking forward to the mission pack called Firestorm due to be released soon).

Had this actually been a film it would have been one of the most nonsensical and implausible sci-fi movies ever. However, as the 'movie' only serves to keep the game going, I'll judge it against gaming standards and as such this is better than anything done before. Acting is great, the two plots evolve in reasonably understandable way and -best of all- neither movie nor game dominates the other, which unfortunately is pretty rare...
