This game is fun, period.
I dont have much to talk about it, which means both good and bad things about the game. After trying the demo, I wasnt too amazed at the gameplay and overall hype. It didnt blow me away in any areas, and it played nearly exactly like the old school RTS. Resource, mass units, attack, repeat. The most noticeable goody is the graphics. But why am I not dissing this game?.....The full game has more to offer, with time I actually begin to enjoy it, its fun, its easy to understand, theres a decent challenge from the AI, the gameplay is unchanged but it still works, and most importantly lots of people complained about the gameplay mechanics and stuff dont realize that Tiberium Wars tried to bring back a little "revisit" or old skool feel from the original that made it great. In other words, I would think that C&C3 is not suppose to be a new invention, but a reinvention.
The GDI and NOD/Kane are back, along with the new alien Scrin factions. The missions can start out very easy and feel like a tutorial...but after a few, it gets fun and interesting. I like the graphics, its quite pretty looking and colorful. My PC is not a beefed up powerhouse (P4 HT 3ghz/1950PRO ATI), but it can run the medium to high settings at 1024 resolution fine, but not entirely smooth FPS throughout. This game basically screams C&C, especially the movements/appearance of the units, the sounds, the MAMMOTH Tank, the interface user bar on the right hand side, the cheesy yet fun live acting video cutscenes, the storyline (now there's three sides fighting for the rich Tiberium), and so on and so on.
Basically, Im keeping this a short talk. This third installment is to bring back what made the first C&C a classic. By keeping the same elements intact, mainly ie: Gameplay, overall controls and feel, etc... It didnt steer away from what the fans truly felt comfortable with. That being said, this game is made for the fans, and even if you arent, you might like this RTS game. If you're a longtime fan, and somehow felt disappointed....thats fine...whatever. Maybe you expected something entirely new or different. I wanted this game to be at least revolutionary like COH did....I wasnt impressed at first but eventually I knew that for this game, maybe its a good thing not to change everything. Just like the upcoming SC2...
