Command & Conquer

"I love this game!"

Introduction
Ever wanted to conquer a bunch of terrorists, but you don't want it to become your job? Or would you rather do the exact opposite, and help terrorism? Than get Command and Conquer, it will make your dreams come true. In this game you can play the good guys or the bad guys and you must destroy the other side while completing your mission objectives. You have a huge number of weapons on your side too, and so does your enemy. Read this review to get the scoop on this game.

Graphics 9/10
Very good. The terrain you battle in looks so real, I would just love to be able to physically walk in there. The idividual units look very detailed also. You can sometimes even see someones face, even though the camera puts you way up in the air. Expolsions look magnificent, especcialy when a nuke explodes.

Story 7/10
You have to destroy the opposing forces, if that really counts as a story.

Sound 9/10
Is it possible to not like the sound? The best sounds are the sounds of missles being fired, fires starting, and when you complete a mission someone says in a real good sounding voice, ''Mission Complete''. The music is very good for a Nintendo 64 game, too. It is very energetic and always fits with the battle, (and if you don't like it than you can change it!) This sound is good, and it should have a soundtrack.

Gameplay 9/10
First you choose what side you wish to play, either the good guys or the bad guys. Than your mission objectives are told to you, and your mission begins. Usually you start out with a Construction yard, (gives you the ability to create new buildings), but sometimes you can't build a base. If you have a constuction yard, you can build Power Plants, Barracks,(solidgers come out of here) Helicopters, Weapons Factory, (gives you the ability to make vehicles) and other things. Your enemy also has these buildings. But how can you attack the enemy, or defend your base? You can make regular solidgers, Flame Thrower men, Grenaders or Enginers,( steal enemy buildings). You can also make three diffrent sizes of Tanks, Helicopters, Humvees, etc, etc. You can also build structers that can defnd you base, like a Obilisk, (shoots a laser at any enemy that walks too close to it). Also to defend your base, you can place walls, requiring them to shoot through the wall, or walk into an opening, a bunch of tanks at the opening and they will have to fight harder to get into your base! And trying to destroy an enemy base skill. You have to lead your men real carefully, because you never know what will happen. A team of Flamethrower Men may sneak behind you and kill everyone in one shot! A tank may appear out of nowhere and run over half your men! And when you make it into the base, you will have to lead even more careful. A flamethrower tank may drive toward you, an undiscovered gang of enemy troops may appear, so you have to be prepared for anything to happen. This game is so much fun, it is scary.

Contols 8/10
Very easy to use. You can select any number of units, and you can build a building without stumbling on the controls.

Challenge 9/10
This is very challenging, it should take you at least a month to beat it.

Replay Value 7/10
As much fun as the game is, you can only play again for so long and then it may become boring.

Buy or Rent?
BUY. You will not regret this decision.

Overall 9/10
