Command & Conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars

The story and gameplay of the new Command & Conquer 3 : Tiberium Wars are good, really good. It not only build upon its predecessors' winning formula, it is unique enough to carve its own niche in the world of strategy games. This is the third installment of a truly venerable series and EA did a great job by retaining the good old C&C formula and enhancing it enough that it doesn't feel stale. I love it.

The storyline stays loyal to the C&C creed but EA kicked it up a notch by using well-known TV personalities to add a touch of realism. The acting could have been a bit better in my view, but the final quality is still something that a lot of games should aspire to. The story is well-written and solid and that's what appeals most to me at the end of the day. No matter what, Kane should always be killed with the GDI Ion Cannon. Now, that's just poetic justice.

From a technical aspect, the game's graphics are pretty, but relatively lackluster when compared to recent titles like Company Of Heroes. I think EA can take a cue from Relic and release better shader support and open it up to modders. That would allow a whole range of talented modders to seriously enhance the game for long-term playability.

If that's possible, then I would recommend the modders look at improving the game's sound effects and music. They were a serious disappointment in most aspects. A real shame. Poor EA. They didn't even follow up on Frank Klepacki's mesmerizing and hallucinogenic soundtrack.

All in all though, the game is seriously fun. While it does have its weakpoints, I would still recommend it to RTS gamers. It's solid and best of all, it brings back a willing formula that's fun and accessible to all.

Our Review System

Tech ARP is committed to developing new ways to improve your experience with us. As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a multi-tier review system.

This review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware or software. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision.

In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases.

When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review.

After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product.

But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online.

We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
