Command & Conquer Renegade

"Main Game - Crap Online - Awesome!"

This is a great game created by Westwood Studios. The whole idea to the game is that you actually play as the characters that Westwood Studios have created. You play as characters such as Soldiers, Raveshaws, Havocs, Technitions, HotWires and tons more. The Characters are in games such as the Red Alert Series, Tiberian Sun, Covert Opperations, and many more. Basically all their games contribute to the characters in this game. Not only can you get the characters, but you can buy or earn vehicles that are in the games listed prior to this. You can get things like the Mammoth Tank, Stealth Tank, APC, Buggy, Hummer, and much much more.

It's great because you can enter buildings and explore a totally 3-D world!

Here are the statistics.

Story - 4/10

There really isn't a lot in the story department. Basically, as in all command and conquer games, a war as broken out and you, a soldier, need to fight for your side. Because of the fairly lacking story, i gave this game a 4 out of 10 for the reasons above.

Graphics - 6/10

These aren't very good. Lacking in every area. But it's ok if you have a great game to back it up (as these graphics do). The surfaces had what something would look like, but were 2-D; just pictures of something making up an object. But, the graphics are acceptable because a big game gant handle a ton.

Gameplay - 8/10

This was great. The only reason I would buy this game is for the internet playability. There is so much that you can do. The main game sucked really really bad. Although, with the online version, you can have up to 60 people fighting at once, on wither the G.D.I. team, or the NOD team. Or, you can have very few people and have a sniper war, always good fun!

Sound - 7/10

Nothing Special. They were just regular sounds that dodn't have much depth to them. Basically, it was clear, 16 bit sound that allowed you to know what just happened and recognize what the sound went to. Once again, nothing special but not bad.

Controls - 10/10

The controls were great. They were simple and easy learn. They made sense and wern't in stupid places. Westwood Stidios incorperated the keyboard with the mouse to give you a sort of double-analog feel to it. A great change of pace.

Replay Value - 9/10

Good replay value. Online, I could play for hours and hours. The westwood server keeps track of your records so you always want to improve and get your stats better. You might say that this game is addicting and can easily become an obsession. FUN FUN FUN!!!

Last Notes

this game got an 8/10 for the above reasons. I would reccomend getting this game as soon as you have the money to do so. well happy gaming!
