Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (PC CD)

It is set on Earth and is played in the third person i.e. you command your forces from an elevated perspective.There are 16 missions to complete and each mission gets gradually more complex as the game progresses. If you fail to complete level 3 you cannot progress to level 4 and so on. A good tip here is to try each level on 'easy' before aiming for 'hard' as this will give you an excellent idea of what to expect in the more difficult levels.

Most missions require you to build a base, amass an attack force then unleash its diabolical firepower on some very aggressive enemies. The soundtrack is eerie and atmospheric and helps sets the tone for each level. Many of the levels are genuinely challenging and you'll pull your hair out trying to figure out a strategy to get you through. Another good tip here is to save your game regularly so that you won't need to go back to the very beginning of a mission if you try a strategy that fails.

Forces at your disposal range from armed human personnel to fighter bombers and if you're going to complete all 16 levels you'll need to use the lot! Games don't get much better than this.

You get to play great games - every mission is a challenge and great fun with a story line. The storyline with all C&C Games make it what it what it is. This game has brilliant graphics too.

I just wish Westwood Studios had made more games as good as this after Tiberiun Sun because Command and Conquer Generals and C&C Renegade were a bit of a let down for me but the Red Alert 2 is great, as is Yuri's revenge.

In Tiberiun Sun you still have to decide which side you play evil v good - NOD v GDI and you still harvest Tiberium for credits and get to train advanced new military units and soldiers.

Some of the machines, buildings and advanced tanks were never to be seen in the final game but this was down to the hype that was in the game reviews before the game had been released.

I waited for this game several years and was not let down. Game expectations were high for me but I doubted some even though hype was enourmous.

If you enjoy playing RTS Games in the New World Order then this won't disappoint you.

Welcome to the New World Order.

No other strategy games compare to this one, there are many I have played years later and none have matched this yet. I doubt any ever will. Yes I am a big C&C fan with good reason.

New units and options bring new strategies to gameplay, after you have completed all missions you will be wanting more. This is one addictive game and great fun. C&C series did firestart RTS games off to a good start.
