"Enjoyable RTS but problematic control interface."
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Has the features of the PC based games but the translation to the controller made the game difficult to play. Unit AI was often poor and there seemed no easy way to have units avoid attacking and being destroyed when attempting to move them to tactically superior positions. This issue made certain levels much trickier than they should have been. Graphics, sound and gameplay were very good but the unit control on the port was frustrating.

"Not really worth it."
3 stars"

Sure its not too bad as an RTS for the 360, but its a PC port that has a terrible control scheme which alot of people will struggle with, especially when versing the more difficult AI settings. The graphics aren't bad for the age of the game, and the game doesn't seem to have many bugs. Personally I would go for C&C 3 Kanes Wrath, which is the standalone expansion of this game (Does not require tiberium wars to play), with more units and a control scheme that is better suited to a console based RTS.

Description

In 2047, Tiberium has blanketed the Earth, which is now divided into zones based on the level of Tiberium infestation. 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…

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
