"This is a Great Addition To The Command & Conquer Family"

Storyline 9/10
The storyline in this game is great! Each time you finish a mission the story gets more indepth and you can almost feel what and who you are fighting. The storyline revolvesaround the GDI (Global Defense Initiative) and The Brotherhood Of NOD. As you canprobably tell by the names the GDI are the good guys and NOD well, need I say more?

Graphics 9/10
If you are lucky enough to have an expansion Pak the graphics in this game are awesome!But even if you don't have an expansion Pak the graphic are still amazing. If you doinitialize the high resolution mode (expansion Pak required) you are going to give up allotof performance. The game will start to slow down like in the playstation version of Command & Conquer. Personally I just leave mine on medium resolution and play away.

Gameplay 9/10
If you leave the high resolution off you should get a non-choppy game and you should beable to get through levels free of lag. But if you are that kind of gamer that just has tohave the best of graphics, go ahead and put on the high resolution, it's your lag hell.

Controls 9/10
The controls are pretty easy to get used to, if you've ever played a Command & Conquer game before. I will run through the default controls real quick. A=select, B=Cancel,Z=Buy Menu, R=repair;sell;guard, Up, Down, Left, Right C buttons= select units andpress one of four C buttons to make team, Down On D-Pad=Home.

Sound 10/10
Sound is pretty dang good in this game with a total of 17 songs to choose to listen towhile you battle. The responses from a unit being selected are excellent. The sound is also excellent when there is an explosion or when some infantry are killed.

Replay Value 10/10
You can definitely play this game over many times with there being different missions toplay by the decisions you make during the game. In other words there are allot of differentvariants of the game. You will also keep busy trying to beat the game playing as GDI andthe as NOD, or vise-versa.

Overall 9/10
Over all this is a very good game. Any Command & Conquer fan should add this to theircollection or any strategy fan as well. This game is definitely a winner!
