Product Description
The Command and Conquer series continues with Kane's Wrath. This Real-time Strategy (RTS) game returns to the Tiberium Universe with Kane at the center of an epic new single player campaign. Experience a new story that spans 20 years from the rebirth of the Brotherhood of Nod after the Second Tiberium War through the dramatic events of the Third Tiberium War and beyond. The story is told through a new set of high-definition live action video sequences starring a celebrity cast. Joe Kucan, the original actor who portrayed the character Kane in Command and Conquer games over the last decade, will reprise his role as the megalomaniacal leader of the Brotherhood of Nod. Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath also features a new strategic layer of gameplay that allows you to establish bases, build customized armies, and attack your enemies on a global scale and then dive into the frenzied tactical combat where your skills as a commander will be tested to the limits. The game introduces six new sub-factions and a wealth of new units, structures, and powers to the armies of the Global Defense Initiative, the Brotherhood of Nod, and the enigmatic alien Scrin. Specialized Sub-factions - Play to your strengths with six unique sub-factions, each equipped with their own exclusive units, powers, and upgrades Revolutionary New Xbox 360 Interface - Command Stick brings console RTS controls to the next level; build, deploy, and attack with an all-new radial interface formulated specifically for console gamers

 Cool game September 4, 2008
This is a cool game I love it and I will be playing it forever
 idea of game great; monitor screen damaged August 30, 2008

I purchased this game for our grandson who really liked the game. He, a 19 year old, very computer literate person, is upset because an image of the game's menu has been burned onto his monitor screen. A call to electronic arts resulted in their saying they have never had a problem with this happening. Needless to say, this image permanently on the monitor is not an expectation.
Great Game. Great Service. Love you Amazon.com August 22, 2008
The game is beyond fun. Much better than Tiberium Wars. Amazon.com had this product for $20+ CHEAPER than Wal-Mart. Gameplay is easy to master, easy to control everything, great settings, and of course, Amazon.com sent my package and it arrived a day sooner than expected. Really appreciate it.
Fantastic August 7, 2008
I play this game at least an hour everyday and it never gets boring. Great, great game.
 Good follow-up June 30, 2008

The good:
- C&C continues to have the best controls on a console. The new radial interface is an improvement and helps with gaining some 'speed' when selecting the commands. I was worried that this interface would be as sensitive as Mass Effect, but it's not. Selecting what you want is easy.
- The missions are well balanced and are not necessarily harder than C&C3. The problem - as usual - is not with the game difficulty, but with selecting the controls as fast as with a mouse. I don't know if difficulty has been toned a little for this XBox 360 version, but it's manageable.
- This is an expansion pack, but doesn't require the other game to play it. Missions start similarly to C&C3, without having the entire Tech Tree available from the early missions. This will help out people that never played this before, as will give them a chance to learn the game. There is also a Boot Camp section - but it's too basic. SPOILER ALERT: Skipping the Boot Camp unlocks an achievement.
The bad:
- C&C games have never been known for deep stories, but this game really has the most confusing one. In the end, you watch the cut scenes for what they are and enjoy what follows after them.
- My favorite faction is GDI and this game only covers NOD. However - again, the good thing is that the missions bring the best out of what NOD can do, so this works out pretty good in the end.
Bottom line: If you like C&C games, you will like this one too. Until Red Alert 3 is released, there is enough material here to keep you busy, from Multiplayer, to Skirmish and Kane's Challenge matches. If you are new to this game, maybe C&C3 would be a better starting point, because it has more missions and more variety. In any case - C&C games continue to be the best RTS offering on consoles.
