A hallmark (for a game, that is)

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...

Deserves its own movie

This has got to be one of the best Tiberian franchise instalment. The game follows on from its 1995 predecessor, exploring two rivalling factions - the noble Global Defence Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod (aka Nod). The latter are considered a terrorist organisation led by the charismatic leader, Kane. Kane seeks a new world order and is a closet (but not-so-closet) believer in aliens. He believes in the mystical benefit of tiberium, a substance overgrowing across the world- both a prized resource and a toxic chemical, akin to say nuclear power. This game delivers some compelling videos that propel this wonderful story.

Supreme

The live action sequences in this game were delightful and always exciting in between stages. Hard to believe they got the likes of JEJ onto this. There was the occasional questionable acting but overall it was a great piece.

Hella' Fun Game

If you like RTS (real time strategy) games, you will love TS. It blows all other RTS games away. The FMV's are real smooth and have feature some top notch actors such as James Earl Jones and Micheal Bein (good guy from the first terminator and aliens). There are a ton of units and structures. Also, TS' multiplay is the best I have seen in an RTS game because the servers are always being upgraded so you don't get much lag. Its hella' fun!

Best Command and Conquer game, starring Michael Biehn

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.

Trivia
At a convention in November 2011, a fan of Command & Conquer: Soleil de Tiberium (1999) greeted Michael Biehn by addressing him as "Michael McNeil, GDI, Tiberian Sun". Biehn was puzzled by the allusion, having no memory of that role until the fan described Tiberian Sun in greater detail, at which point Biehn, just beginning to remember that role, admitted that the 1990s were a big blur in his memory.

Goofs
Despite being a senior military officer (and in a future setting), Commander McNeil wears the insignia of a Specialist 5 on the left arm of his leather jacket, an enlisted (non-officer) rank that was abolished in 1985. Also, Chandra, a Lieutenant Commander according to the game manual, is wearing chevrons on his right sleeve that appear to be the rank insignia of a Senior Airman in the U.S. Air Force.

Quotes
CABAL: A division of Hassan's Elite Guard is closing in on our position. The probability of a favourable outcome can be increased, if we are able to fall back to your main base and engage the enemy as we move.
Slavik: Define "favourable outcome", Cabal.
CABAL: They all die.
Slavik: That'll do.

Alternate versions
To avoid problems with the German censors (namely the Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Schriften, BPJS), the human soldiers were replaced with cyborgs.
