This expansion pack adds tremedously to the legacy that is Command & Conquer. Not only is it the most advanced and in-depth expasion pack ever, it also puts the player in the game like no other add-on in existance. Tiberian Sun and Firestorm have to be the pinnacle of Westwood's Real Time Strategy gaming history. The new units kick ***, the missions rock, and the online multiplayer gaming is astounding! If you love RTS games then you have to buy C&C: Tiberian Sun and Firestorm. What more can I say.

Best add on to hit the gaming industry.

Okay, I have only 1,000 words, but I want to write as an extensive review as possible. It's very rare that you see an extensive review on sites like this. In my personal opinion, Firestorm manages to parallel or go beyond any add on for ANY game that has yet hit the gaming industry. With new missions, TONS of new and balancing units, and an excellent plot, Firestorm sets the standards. It's going to be difficult to capture the full spectrum of this product in 1,000 words, but here we go. To start off, we'll go for GDI units. First we have the Juggernaut: a very titan-like vehicle with three laser cannons and a very long range. Designed to give GDI an "artillery" match while it rocks at supporting other ground units. Next there's drop pods: great if combined with Ion blasts or massive air assaults. These egg shaped pods strafe the ground below them with machine gun fire as they fall, then release a storm of men to wreak havoc on an enemy base. The Mobile EMP: just like its "big brother." Now quickly for Nod. First, the Cyborg Reaper: cheap to build, it shoots missiles for air and land while immobilizing only infantry units with nets. (Three legs, what an idea.) The Mobile stealth generator: again, just like its "big brother." Thats your quick overview of the units. Both sides recieve limpit drones, robots that burrow under the ground, then leap out and attach themselves to any unit that drives or hovers over it. From then on, it sees what that unit sees. Well, I don't want to hold over this review any longer. I'd just like to say again that, with its cut scenes, new music, new missions, new Cabbol and Eve voices, and ESPECIALLY new units, this expansion will be a classical masterpiece for years to come. Don't wait a second, I recommend this game for any fans of the RTS game genre.

Great Expansion to a great game

As soon as you get over the fact that the graphics haven't changed much you love this game. The story line is great, the new units are fun and creative and allow for great tactical missions. The one major flaw of the original TS was the mission balance....they have balanced out the missions emensley; none are to hard, yet none are to easy. A must buy for any Tiberian Sun owner.

Great Game at a Great Price!

This is a great game regardless of what the critics say. Everyone seems to be jumping on the 3D bandwagon. The interface is so easy to use any one can play this game. The units are improved with increased capabilities. Don't forget that this game has a committed fan base that continue to make it a success.

It rocks

When I got it, I "plugged" it in and watched the magic. It is a vast improvement for GDI, because now they have artillery units(Juggernauts) making it a bit more equal on both sides(GDI[good] and NOD[bad]).

The missions are by far better than Tiberian Sun, making this a most enjoyable game. If you feel lucky, you might want to try the World Domination Tour. I tried it and boy is the CPU hard.

GDI has awesome new units like a Mobile EMP, Mobile War Factory, and Drop Pod Control Plug for on the Upgrade Center.

NOD has new units too, but not as exciting as GDI's. They include a Mobile Stealth Generator, Fist of Nod(MWF), and my favorite, the Cyborg Reaper.

A worthy expansion to a entertaining game

The Command and Conquer saga has been running for a while and occasionally starts to show its age. This expansion pack, though not revolutionary, provides some additional depth and strength to balance out Tiberian Sun effectively. NOD players will love the new spider-cyborg, and GDI finally gets a worthwhile artillery unit with the Juggernaut. Enough new units, twists, and tactics to give the game a different spin (also, some of the more outrageous effects from the initial game are turned down - NOD artillery is now a little more "under control"). Better balanced game, and very good if you enjoy the C&C genre.

Its great

I just love all the new tactics you can now use with all the new units. This pack made me change all my fighting strategies. I love this expansion, its an expansion I wish they had to begin with. GDI now has long range weapons, and the Nod now get some more fierce items to use. I have to say, the Firestorm experience isn't complete unless you get this expansion. It also build on to the story of this series. This is part II of the normal command and conquer games (Tiberian dawn, Tiberian sun, and soon to come Tiberian Twilight [I think]).

I don't have the Firestorm Expansion but I do have the original game. If you think the computer is pathetic try level two instead of bein' a wuss. They Really put up a fight(usually). Or even better try it on the internet its a blast. Everybody on there is pretty good and you'll usually lose.

I think Tiberian Sun Firestorm is one of the most creative add-ons available. There is no other real-time strategy comparison!
