Gameplanet Store Australia - Buy Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars for Xbox 360 online

March, 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning to the Third Tiberium War and long-awaited return of the most groundbreaking Real-time Strategy franchise (RTS) of all time.

In 2047, Tiberium has blanketed the Earth, which is now divided into zones based on the level of Tiberium infestation. Pristine Blue Zones represent 20% of the planet's surface and are the last refuge of the civilized world. Partially habitable Yellow Zones make up 50% of the planet's surface; most of the world's population lives in these war-torn and ecologically ravaged areas. The remaining 30% of the planet is uninhabitable, a Tiberium wasteland swept by violent Ion Storms. Red Zones are like the surface of an Alien planet.

The infamous Kane has returned to lead the Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative and the few remaining Blue zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. The fate of humanity - and the planet - is in your hands.

Featuring state-of-the-art, next-generation graphics, an epic story with live action video sequences featuring top Hollywood actors, and the classic fast-paced C&C style of play, C&C 3 sets the standard for the single player RTS experience.

When you decide to test your skills online, a suite of truly innovative features, such as the ability to transform online battles into a spectator sport, unfold. Welcome back, Commander.

Features:

Command & Conquer fans and the like will know that the C&C series was a PC based game. So your main control was a two or three button mouse. Personally I think they've done a awesome job of the control system on the Xbox 360 version and made it very user-friendly.

If you're new to the 'Command & Conquer' series or new to Real-Time Strategy games (RTS). You will still have a good chance to learn how the game works and what your role is. i.e. the in-game Tutorial. Where you are taught all the basics of the game, to get you fimilar with the controls and gameplay etc.

Graphics are awesome and enough to hold interest. The sound is also great and adds more intensity to what's going on. With realistic sounds of guns/explosions + war music etc, it ties in well with the graphics. The frame rate is okay but seems to drop a little when the screen is too intense, i.e. full of movement/animation.

My favourite part is probably the multi-player on Xbox Live. Everything you do in gameplay affects
the outcome of a situation.I've noticed lots of gamers out there have their own style, which is a good challenge. At times you have to think hard about how you're going to do something and that links to the stategy side of it all.

With all the maps, missions, modes etc, there's tonnes of replay value in this game. I can see Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (Xbox 360) feeding the Command & Conquer fans, aswell as drawing in those unfimiliar with C&C and/or 'RTS' games.

RTS on console has always been a "no go" for me and battle for middle earth just reinforced my belief that you can't play RTS games on a controller. When i saw C&C in the shop i thought na it will be awful, but i was convinced to buy it and try it then bring it back if i didn't like it. One word, WOW the control system has totally improved since BFME this game rocks! it looks amazing and after a short tutorial it is simple to play. Don't be hestitant about th controls they are very user friendly as for the rest of the game ITS C&C what else is there to say. AMAZING!!
