This game is excellent! August 25, 2003
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this game after borrowing RA2 from a friend and I decided to buy TS because I had played it before and it was really good. It has a rather small display which lacks in detail but is perfect to see what is going on. The units have variety, but GDI and NOD are a bit too similar, for instance both sides have the same type of MCV, but on RA2 they are different. It's just aesthetical. But some units are so [incredibly awsome] that they alone can keep you glued to the screen for hours, trying to devise a strategy to take them out. I find that NOD Banshees or GDI Orca bombers in groups of five or six can be used to take out the enemy MCV, then the other buildings. The NOD Artillery are really good defense and attack if you can afford to support them with Mobile Repair Vehicles and some sort of tank (Buggies do well, but die fast). The Component Tower idea is a bit stupid though. GDI Firestorm Defense is good but annoying and the walls are annoying to build (piece by piece, unlike RA2) and annoying to repair. The in-game movies are a bit disgusting, but the soundtrack is really good. Overall, it is a great game and one of Westwood's best productions.
IT'S GOOD, BELIEVE ME!!! (the games cooler than some say) July 8, 2003

I'm a die hard Blizzard fan and for all of my knowlege, Starcraft is the best game for the pc, EVER, PERIOD. When I saw Tiberian sun for the first time it seemed as if they were trying to convince people that when you rip-off a well known software company (Blizzard in this case) you get an awesome game. However I DIDN'T think the same. For a while i HATED the thing. But like many games I start out hating, it eventualy becomes one of my favorite games. This game is actually one of the only games i play now (behind Starcraft) while I wait lustfully for C&C generals. anyway, unlike what some people say it doesn't need to be like all good games with upgrades and such. And only having 2 races with slightly idetical troops is kind of a refreshing break from all thr sci-fi stuff. In my mind it's more like REAL, down to present day/near futureish combat. It's actually one of the ost unique games i've played that isn't horrible beyond belief Though it isn't THAT good of a game, i still give it 4 stars and any1 who thinks otherwise should just keep playing it until thay start to like it.
 I like it less than Red Alert April 7, 2003

I thought Red Alert was a pretty fun game. This was just a clone of red alert though. The people that make C&C need to come up with some more ideas. All the C&C games are exactly the same. I didn't like Red Alert to start with so Tiberian Sun has to be worse.
 Dont bother March 8, 2003

Well, if you have Red Alert 2 - or are trying to get into the C&C world - this is not where you need to go. Red Alert 2 is WAY better. As for TS - its repetative, meaning once you beat both clans (you are one, or the other - and thats IT) missions (if you bother) you will probably never play it again. There are no add ons worth a darn, there are no special units to get excited over...its confusing, its slow, it has silly premesis behind it, and- its just no fun...PS: I have been told to stay away from GENERALS too - RA2 forever!
 The Greatest of the C+C Series June 17, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have owned C+C T.S. for some time and I have found how it surpasses all of the other C+C games. First because for a strategy game, the graphics are very good especially if you compare them to the graphics of Red Alert and the first C+C. The sound and music are excellent (I bought the soundtrack because I thought it was so good) I also like the level of challenge and there are no cheats for the game, so you have to use all of your skills. I love all of the units that you can make and all of the buildings you can construct. The skirmish is also a great aspect of the game. The storyline is also very intriguing and the live-action cut scenes are very cool and star some very popular actors.If you are a fan of the series, this is the one you should be playing!
