Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars |
|
Saturday, 30 June 2007 |
Command & Conquer is back, like a reunion band after seven hit albums and an eight-year hiatus. We're talking harvesters, right-hand sidebars. superweapons. and over 90 minutes of splashy full-motion video with real actors. Real actors! The last time we saw live bodies in a game was, what, last century?
Consequently, this sequel to 1999's Tiberian Sun has something that most of its peers don't personality. Whether it's Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactic) preaching you up in punky fishnets, Josh Holloway (Lost) drawling like everyone's favorite Southern-fried wises, or even the terrific Michael 'Sam Fisher' Ironside coaxing plausibility out of the script's predictable military hoo-hah, personality's the reason why you really can't miss Tiberium Wars, it's not just a great RTS, it's a "Katie bar the door!" revival of steely actors staring you straight in the eye and declaiming. "Save our bacon or else!"
