Tiberium Wars review, Spoilers inside, you have been warned! Options

[Crash]

SPOILERS!


In this review, I review the game as a C&C

Let's start with the FMV's.... The FMV's were boring actually, and eww at the blue GDI, Cheezy. Kane isn't who I recognized as Kane.
The characters acted bad, I did like the news thing and the GDI guy, Billy de Williams acted as, along with the Nod dude who briefs you. It just didn't fit good enough. Could use more in battlefield videos. 4\10

Next thing will be the missions. The missions weren't really good. Mostly boring long lasting ones. Could use more speeches. Like in the first TS GDI mission "where the hell are those reinforcements?!" and text triggers. The camera function thing was annoying. I did get some bit of C&C atmosphere in the Nod mission where you protect these trucks inside your base, with Kane popping up and sending you reinforcements (the avatars) The other missions were mostly boring. Some were a bit hard and fun to play. The first Scrin mission was horribly boring, you have to get a lot of units to destroy the GDI bases. 6\10

Storyline was pretty ok, however it didn't reach the deepness it should be, C.A.B.A.L should be included along with the other mech technologies (Technology story)
The Technology looks backwards.... No further comments 5\10

Atmosphere (Music included) was quite boring compared to TS's The lighting of the missions were just too standard, didn't really fit to what it should be.
3\10

Other things:
The way the multiplayer works, is cool. The unit spamming isn't fun, and should been avoided.
The way the scrin was..... too bug alike! Superior airforce, bad ground units.
Squad system ? ...... OH-NO
Walls and gates cut out..... not cool
What happened to the distruptors and other things like the laser fences and firestorm walls ? They should have included or brought this technology further.
The liquid tiberium bomb should kill everyone on the battlefield shortly if it really was that deadly in the last GDI mission.
Tiberium ? in Firestorm we saw tiberium envolving into different mutations and types of tiberium. And they just "disappeared" ?
You should feel like "WOW! I WON THE GAME" at the end, but I just felt "that was it?!"
The EVA voices weren't good. The game was unserious, the selection sounds were awful.

Overall: As a C&C it's bad, but as a game it's cool. Not something for real C&C fans though, 4\10 as a C&C, 7\10 as a game.

More to come perhaps.

After reading the posts made, i really got fed up with the whining, not only here but everywhere on these forums. But since im posting in this topic i'm gonna make a few statements about the things mentioned here. Firstly, the Scrin. I dont really get why can't they be robotic and as Bittah said "Weapons themselves", if Scrin has such an advanced AI, then in my opinion wouldn't it be alot better if you just lose the "Weapon" and not the person behind the weapon. You can re-build a weapon easily, but you cant re-build a human-being. That way, they would preserve theyr race more effeciently and probably have more scientist type beings in theyr army, wich would result in faster advancement. Also, tell me a reason why shouldnt they have more advanced aerial units, i don't have to repeat this since Clazzy already made the statement i would use. Second, the Disc Throwers. Grenadiers are much more realistic IMO. Throwing a simple ball shaped grenade is alot more easier and has a lower chance to miss than a disc, creating an explosive disc is alot more harder also.
These statements are only based off this topic and i have more about the whole game. Also i agree with Clazzy, why dont you go and whine about the changes that were made creating TS? Would you like to have the EXACT same copy of TS just with better graphics? It's a break from the regular TS. I also noticed that you didn't like how they brought back the old features TD had, Mammoth tanks crushing bikes, flame tanks etc. in a new aspect, now i haven't seen anyone creating topics blaming TD haven't i?
