Review by Gamespot "Xbox 360 owners are in for a treat with Tiberium Wars. First and foremost, it's an excellent real-time strategy game that features an intense story and a well-rounded set of multiplayer options. It's spirited and fun, and a great way for console enthusiasts to experience the fast and frantic action of a Command & Conquer game. Yet it's no mean feat that it plays so well without a mouse and keyboard. By using an intuitive control scheme similar to Electronic Arts' own Battle for Middle-earth 2, Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars proves that strategy has a big role to play on consoles. If you have an Xbox 360 and even the remotest interest in earth-shattering explosions or campy science fiction, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy…Not only is it a great game, but it's a great example of a console RTS done right. If you've never played a Command & Conquer game before, there's no better time than the present." 8.7/10 THE GOOD – Exciting campaign features a ton of quality, full-motion video, Fast-paced gameplay is fun and exhilarating, Controls work well and are easy to learn, Five multiplayer modes will keep you coming back for more. THE BAD – Game is picky with structure placement, Washed-out visuals and recurrent frame-rate stutters mute some of the pizzazz. Review by IGN “…The fast paced nature of the game can make things a little bit frustrating in the story mode, especially when you can’t quickly reload a mission once things go sour. Even so, the presentation and good mission design work with the decent controls to make for an enjoyable game. The online play has a great feature set and with a level playing field is great fun. When you put it all together, you’ve got one impressive little game.” 8.2/10 IGN RATINGS FOR COMMAND & CONQUER 3 TIBERIUM WARS (X360) 8.5 Presentation A well told story complements an enjoyable online feature set.
