this is my first c&c, and i'm impressed. i was always spooked to play these on console, but they did a great job.
i'm a turn based kind of player, but once u get used to the frenetic gameplay, and the training kicks in u really start to find a comfortable stride. the weapons and units available seem well-varied and work well to their suited tasks. the vintage live action cut scenes would be laughable if it weren't for lando / sam fisher / and boomer-athena from battlestar.. i.e. billie dee williams, michael ironside, and grace park. that actually makes the goofy scenes fun strangely enough.
kane is indeed laughable though. can i just call him lex luthor and get it over with?
that said even with the greast tutorial the learning curve is steep and less than forgiving. but stick with it and u will get it eventually.
all said and done i'm glad i took a risk on a console rts, and this is oodles better than lotr battle for middle earth 2.
