Tiberian slow it should be called

I thought Red Alert was one the best games ever (well, at least until Starcraft and half life came around) and I was really looking forward this. I was pretty disapointed. Some nice bells and whistles in the game but the addition of 3D didn't add all that much to the experience in my mind. It looks great but the I found the play to be lethargic..even at the high game speeds. I also found it more difficult to distinquish which units were which at times than in Red Alert. It also seems that many of the missions seem to be commando missions where you race your forces accross the map with periodic replacement troops instead of more build you base and then attack missions. I was so disapointed with this game, I gave up after the tenth GDI mission. Life is too short to play bad games like this.

Major disappointment

Don't even bother with this game. I love Red Alert, but Tiberian Sun has nothing new or original. Go back to playing starcraft or get the new Age of Empires.

After a while it gets better

It's been delayed so many times how can it be that good. Take my advice and wait for force commander or Total Annihlation 2.

too little too late; what were they thinking?

The last two weeks prior tom the release of this game made my anticipation grow to herculian proportions. I was a big fan of the first two releases, so... Damn, was I dissapointed when I played the game at first. Basically not much has changed since red alert and it's add-ons. Graphics and userinterface are unchanged but for a few minor details. The game would be top of the bill about three years ago, but it was outperformed by several titles even before TS came out. And all I could think was: is this what they have been working on for three years?

This is the worst game ever

This game is awful. The first time I played it it was fun. But that lasted 3 days! Don't waste your money, buy Red Alert it is so much better! Believe me the graphics might be good but that doesn't make it fun. I love stradegy games but this game is horrible!

An abomonation

If you are considering to buy this trash, I have one thing to say to you: DON'T DO IT!

This game is an abomanation! Westwood completely failed to present a game that was worth all the fuss they have been making about it. The units are nor interesting nor original. They are mainly Red Alert, Dune 2000 and C&C I units with a new design, or worse. The same goes for the buildings, save for the base defenses: they have become much worse since the last C&C. In short: except for what happens when your infantry stays too long in one of the orefields, nothing interesting has been added.

The campaigns are a laugh, only the first few missions from the NOD campaign are somewhat nice, but the rest... Same goes for the story, that part is simply horror beyond imagination The story presented in previous C&C games was absorbing and kept you playing the game until you dropped from exaustion and lack of sleep. Tiberian Sun makes it more easy on you: the story will put you to sleep within the first three minutes of playing the game. the main thing happening in the first part of the game is characters yelling that they are indeed alive, followed by other characters yelling that they refuse to believe that. As for the supposedly improved cutscenes? Well, yes, they have people like James Earl Jones in it now, but I think Darth Vader would be rolling in his grave if he knew what had become of the man who gave him his voice. Years from now, the actors will still be laughed at for appearing in this badly written piece of cheap junk.

For the rest, the music is very poor with only one or two tracks somewhat worth listening.

All in all, this is trully the worst game in Real-time-startegy history. I had more fun playing Dune 2.

To all thoses who like C & C Tiberian Sun, get Earth 2100and you will see what a disappointment C & C TS is.How do you turn such a fantastic game (C&C of old) into a $5 bin game. Westwood you went from No 1 to nowhere with this rubbish. It's off my hard drive and I'll replay TA and 2100 until someone releases what TS was supposed to be.

I hated this game. It was too confusing, and so was the plot. Take my advice, dont buy this game and waste youre money.

This game, for some reason bearing the proud name of C&C, is problably a sick joke or something. Tibirian Sun is a sad display of lack of originality, boring missions, poor music and really laughable, non-original units. The only thing good about this game are the improved graphics and the larger maps, but that alone is not enough to save the worst C&C ever. Come on Westwood, this is NOT C&C material, this is an insult for Red Alert, C&C I, and most other RTS games for that matter. This game succeeded in keeping me interested for about 24 hours, after that I felt the need to kick it of my harddisk and install Red Alert or Starcraft again. So I did
