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.
