C&C4 finishes the story arc that has been going on for 15 years now- but with a return to a PC-only release, is this a strategy title worth your time and money?
Here is a snippet from the review:
"Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight brings the end of the series along with a few changes to the RTS formula, changing things many normally associate with the Command and Conquer games. Instead Tiberian Twilight follows Relic’s entry into the RTS genre, mostly Company of Heroes mixed in with some Dawn of War 2, allowing you to choose what sort of class you want your ‘hero’ to be, just replace hero with MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) or as the game now calls them ‘Crawlers’."
VGChatz's Taneli Palola: "There's no question that during these years the overall popularity of the genre took a significant hit, as most games within it specialized even further by adding new elements from other types of games into their gameplay loops and consequently became increasingly niche as the years wore on.
However, this doesn't in any way mean that the period was devoid of great games. Quite the contrary, in fact. Arguably some of the greatest RTS titles ever made came out around this time, and much of this was because many developers were increasingly familiar and comfortable with adding new twists and gameplay elements to the familiar formula. As such, even when the genre's popularity dwindled, many studios were still creating excellent and groundbreaking titles almost every year, just for a smaller audience than in years past."
those were fun years red alert star craft command and conquer well when westwood studio made good games before EA brought them like bioware...
Aside from C&C 4, the other C&C's from EA were all good/great. The genre nose dived once Moba's rose in popularity, even Petroglyph Games (ex-Westwood employees) haven't had a hit since Star Wars: Empire at War (2006), all there games got abandoned after launch.
