Command & Conquer: Soleil de Tiberium

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.

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.

When I first played Command & Conquer I started off playing Red Alert 1 which was a good game, then I played the original C&C Tiberian Dawn. After three years of playing the game I was drifting away from C&C with boredom when Tiberian Sun was advertised on the TV! I've never seen a game advertised on the TV before. I was very excited, I read all the magazines that showed details about the game and then when it finally arrived I was pulled into the new Tiberian world.

Tiberian Sun, I don't how but it does, gives you sparks of wisdom, feelings of adrenaline and shock in how plummets into a nightmare while the human race fight for either the survival of the human race or the dawn of a new Tiberian world on Earth forever.

Tiberian Sun is a game to remember for it's amazing potential and outstanding acting, particularly from Joseph D Kucan who plays Kane in the videos as well as the talented James Earl Jones and Michael Biehn.

I will never forgive EA games for taking the game franchise and striping away it's glory and shine. But in my mind, the world of Command & Conquer still flows.

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...

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.
