Product Description
Manufacturer's Description:
March, 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning to the Third Tiberium War and long-awaited return of the most groundbreaking Real-time Strategy franchise (RTS) of all time.
The critically-acclaimed Command & Conquer (C&C) series returns with Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (C&C 3). Setting the standard for the future of RTS gaming once more, C&C 3 takes you back to where it all began—the Tiberium Universe.
In 2047, Tiberium has blanketed the Earth, which is now divided into zones based on the level of Tiberium infestation. Pristine Blue Zones represent 20% of the planet’s surface and are the last refuge of the civilized world. Partially habitable Yellow Zones make up 50% of the planet’s surface; most of the world’s population lives in these war-torn and ecologically ravaged areas. The remaining 30% of the planet is uninhabitable, a Tiberium wasteland swept by violent Ion Storms. Red Zones are like the surface of an Alien planet.
The infamous Kane has returned to lead the Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative and the few remaining Blue zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. The fate of humanity – and the planet – is in your hands.
Featuring state-of-the-art, next-generation graphics, an epic story with live action video sequences featuring top Hollywood actors, and the classic fast-paced C&C style of play, C&C 3 sets the standard for the single player RTS experience.
When you decide to test your skills online, a suite of truly innovative features, such as the ability to transform online battles into a spectator sport, unfold.
Welcome back, Commander.

Fun:
Following the release of this title on PC, I have been waiting for C&C3 for the Xbox 360 for months. I have downloaded the demo on the 360 from Xbox Live and I can say that it is all I hoped it would be. The ease of use was something I thought not possible by any console over the PC, however the developers must have spent some serious months perfecting the menu's and making it as easy as possible to use. The 'Boot Camp' option in the main menu is a Must to begin with, as it teaches you all the controls you will need to defeat the enemy and how to control groups of soldiers and vehicles with minimum interference during battle.
The story also has many great features, with a great acting cast from TV shows on your screens now. The cut scenes are also shot in Hi-Def format for those lucky enough to have a new TV. The welcome return of Kane is a great way to keep the Command & Conquer story alive too, plus the addition of a third player, an alien race that...... I wont say any more, except that they are none too friendly.
I'm really looking forward to this release, firstly so that I can crack on with the story mode and secondly so that I can challenge people online as I have with the demo. The online experience is awsome, as you can link up your vision camera and see your opponent in real time if you wish and recieve 10 seconds of Bragging time if you win the battle, so your opponent has to see you laugh at their pitiful attempt to crush you at the end of the game.
The weapons have been greatly improved for this game too, with my personal favourite still being the Mammoth Tanks. The super weapons are also very handy for getting you out of sticky situations. Were only a few of each available in the demo I played, but hopefully the full game offers many more great war machines.
See you on the battlefield....

Fun:
I've never written a review before, but I thought I would for anyone concerned about the control system for the 360. I loved the original C&C games, and the Red Alert ones too, but on the PC. As my laptop wont run the PC version and although I thought it would be impossible to port to a controller based console, I figured it would be worth a try after reading a previous reviewers comments.
And I must say, if you've used a 360 before it will take very little time to get used to the controls, especially after the slightly slow but very clear boot camp you'll be orchestrating manouvers and issuing orders with little or no trouble at all. I've only played a couple of the missions and a few skirmishes, and so far so good. The missions seem well thought out and are interesting enough in direction. The video sequences are well done, with the colonel from starship troopers and Sawyer from Lost, amongst others. And the units are diverse, well animated and some of the explosions and superweapon graphics are sensational. Just watching some of the big, potentially huge, battles are visually breathtaking.
So at the risk of sounding like an employee of EA, I'd advise anyone who is a fan of the series, and indeed genre, and perhaps doesn't have the capability of the PC version to give this game a go. Don't be put off by the lack of a trusty mouse and keyboard.
Hope this was useful, and hope you aren't disappointed if you do give it a try, this is after all, only my humble opinion.

Fun:
when i first found out that command and conquer was coming out on the xbox 360 i knew it was a game that i would be purchasing as my computer and laptop run at the speed of snails.
one issue that i thought would bother me was the whole using a pad to play the game with after 5minutes or playing on the demo that i downloaded off the marketplace i knew this wasnt a problem.
The game itself is fantastic as you dont have to rush through the levels because you have a timelimit or anything you plan an attack properly and that is the kind of game command and conquer is supposed to be hopefully there will be some decent downloads for buildings etc.

Lots of fun but really difficult!
A great game if only the levels were not so hard. I loved the earlier games and like many other reviewers I was worried how the game would work on the x-box 360. Read more
