The best of the C&C games, and one of the greatest strategy games every made.
The Good
I didn't really ever get into the single-player missions nearly as much as the multi-player options and more specifically the skirmish mode. The AI won't usually be able to put up much of a fight, but you can still draw lots of satisfaction in wiping out their bases, or just watching them get fried one by one as they walk up to your base's tesla coils.
The game also has a great soundtrack that really works well with the battles.
The Bad
The cutscenes can often be rather cheesy, and logging on to play an online game isn't as easy as in this game's successors.
The Bottom Line
A classic strategy game that will never get old.
