Worried about using a controller? Don't be! May 12, 2007

I've never written a review before, but I thought I would for anyone concerned about the control system for the 360. I loved the original C&C games, and the Red Alert ones too, but on the PC. As my laptop wont run the PC version and although I thought it would be impossible to port to a controller based console, I figured it would be worth a try after reading a previous reviewers comments.
And I must say, if you've used a 360 before it will take very little time to get used to the controls, especially after the slightly slow but very clear boot camp you'll be orchestrating manouvers and issuing orders with little or no trouble at all. I've only played a couple of the missions and a few skirmishes, and so far so good. The missions seem well thought out and are interesting enough in direction. The video sequences are well done, with the colonel from starship troopers and Sawyer from Lost, amongst others. And the units are diverse, well animated and some of the explosions and superweapon graphics are sensational. Just watching some of the big, potentially huge, battles are visually breathtaking.
So at the risk of sounding like an employee of EA, I'd advise anyone who is a fan of the series, and indeed genre, and perhaps doesn't have the capability of the PC version to give this game a go. Don't be put off by the lack of a trusty mouse and keyboard.
Hope this was useful, and hope you aren't disappointed if you do give it a try, this is after all, only my humble opinion.

Following the release of this title on PC, I have been waiting for C&C3 for the Xbox 360 for months. I have downloaded the demo on the 360 from Xbox Live and I can say that it is all I hoped it would be. The ease of use was something I thought not possible by any console over the PC, however the developers must have spent some serious months perfecting the menu's and making it as easy as possible to use. The 'Boot Camp' option in the main menu is a Must to begin with, as it teaches you all the controls you will need to defeat the enemy and how to control groups of soldiers and vehicles with minimum interference during battle.
The story also has many great features, with a great acting cast from TV shows on your screens now. The cut scenes are also shot in Hi-Def format for those lucky enough to have a new TV. The welcome return of Kane is a great way to keep the Command & Conquer story alive too, plus the addition of a third player, an alien race that...... I wont say any more, except that they are none too friendly.
I'm really looking forward to this release, firstly so that I can crack on with the story mode and secondly so that I can challenge people online as I have with the demo. The online experience is awsome, as you can link up your vision camera and see your opponent in real time if you wish and recieve 10 seconds of Bragging time if you win the battle, so your opponent has to see you laugh at their pitiful attempt to crush you at the end of the game.
The weapons have been greatly improved for this game too, with my personal favourite still being the Mammoth Tanks. The super weapons are also very handy for getting you out of sticky situations. Were only a few of each available in the demo I played, but hopefully the full game offers many more great war machines.
See you on the battlefield....

Having not played a Command & Conquer game since the originals on the Playstation nearly 7 or 8 years ago, I was amazed at how familiar `Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars' felt on the Xbox 360.
First of all the controls are not as fiddly on the 360 pad as you would think as you mainly use the A button and R trigger throughout the game. After 10 minutes of going through the training you will easily be ready to take to the battlefield.
The action itself is very fast-paced and exciting with near-constant attacks on your units that you will need to defend at the same time as having to destroying enemy bases, garrisoning buildings, using futuristic, high-tech weaponry and generally blowing six shades of brown stuff out of the enemy! Being able to play as both sides is also a great feature that adds tonnes of more missions to the already pretty big single player game.
The cut scenes and in-game movies are all very cheesy (like the original) but work really well with building up the story and keeping the tension high.
Definitely one of the best games on the 360 so far, this is one big game with lots of potential replay and is one that you really need to put a few hours into to really enjoy it fully.

I got this game a day before it's release and when i got back from school i started playing immediately and thought it was great. the campaign is exellent but it normaly revolves around destroying the enemy base(with exeption the nod campaign were you have to use some of their craftyer tactics).the controls are easy to pick up and in some ways are better than the pc version because you can get to tabs and things like that quicker(instead of trying to remmeber every single hotkey). i was a bit disappointed with the skirmish aspect as there weren't as many maps to choise from as in the pc version and you could only play with up to 4 players. overall the game is exellant and, even though the skirmish was a bit dissapointing i would recommend it to people which can't get it for pc.

dont normally review until its Actually released..however got PC version and downloaded demo on Xbox360. This is a absolutely sweet version port to Xbox ok looks rather plain in areas but beats having to tweak pc settings to get the game running properly. Controls take about 10mins to get the hang of..aventually you wonder why people go on about using a mouse and keyboard. If like Action RTS plz i wouldnt hesitate. Guns, Tanks, warfair and Explosions with cheesey movie sequences which still fit the game well, you just cant go wrong.
