a many others have point out and this lack what be accept to be trademark of westwood popular command and conquer franchise . the building system and video sequence and a solid story . however and that aside and this isn not a bad game . rather than follow in the footstep of every rts game that precede it within the series and this take a gamble and wanders of the beaten path . the result of this be hit and miss . feature that be miss earlier ( such a a move and attack command . finally . ) be implement and game play be change around some . however and there be shortcoming and bug and if not very many of the latter . the new interface be essentially that of other rts title ( do not get me wrong and the engine be all new ) and and this and unfortunately and put some focus on aspect of these game that others ( with this other interface ) do good which still haven not be attend to and basically all fall into the category of overview . compare to the excellent overview of starcraft and the age of empire game . title release several year before this . the graphic be one of the best thing about the game . and clearly and the developer realize this represent they put footage of it all over the game . every video sequence be present in it and it in the ( surprisingly effective ) intro and heck and it even the background in the main menu . the effect be considerably more realistic look than in early effort and with smoke and fire and the work . the game do require a bit of power to run well and but the graphic be worth it . the zoom feature be perhaps not the great addition and even if it be cool enough that you can get a close up view . it show too well where corner be cut in create the graphic . the game play be often very exciting and intense and and definitely entertaining . the difficulty be perhaps slightly uneven and but good . the three side be remarkable in how even they be ( though it should be note that the way they be set up be essentially an idea from early rts title and include starcraft ) and and all have some interesting stuff to play around with and as well a an arsenal that make them formidable foe and and satisfy to play as . gla and or global liberation army ( one man terrorist be another man freedom fighter ) and commonly refer to a the terrorist and be the fast and cheap and weak and least technologically advanced . they draw their strength from number and celerity . usa ( which and incidentally and be also the only clean one and no chemical or biological warfare ) be the strong and technologically superior and but also most expensive . china be a happy medium . any rts player will find a side to prefer . there be quite a few unit available to all three side and in spite of further increase in efficiency . engineer be remove and it now the side main infantry unit that can take over building and and it no longer instantaneous and to give a quick example . there be building and characteristic that be unique to their respective side . the gla and be sneaky and tricky and have tunnel network and the chinese and be morally ambiguous and have hacker to acquire further fund ( all three side have an alternate method of continually achieve supply and so even if you fight long enough to use up all the natural resource and you can still gain more ) and and the u and have clear air superiority and can call in air strike and paratrooper and a nasty drop call the fuel air bomb . all three have ability and a special unit ( which be cloak and but can be detect and when use ability or if the enemy have a unit that uncloak their enemy ) that fit their profile . gla have a sniper and who ( in addition to snip infantry ) can kill the driver of any enemy vehicle and the chinese have an unarmed agent who and use her lap top and can steal from the enemy and disable their vehicle one at a time and and the u have a battle harden colonel and equip with a knife and explosive and a machine gun ( essentially a commando or tanya and but oh well and those be pretty rockin ) . the special ability ( as well a some unit ) be access by earn high rank and grant you point to buy them . successful battle raise your rank and so the good you do and the good you get and the more you will have access to . multi player be quite good and and the setup be very user friendly . single player be divide into three campaign and one per side . there be 21 level in total and which and sadly and mean only 7 per side . conquer the entire world in just seven mission . the briefing be entirely audio base and but the voice work be pretty good . sound in general be another area where the game do well . all the effect and unit response or comment sound right . the music be a dramatic score and which work well . the level design be good and but for only have seven mission per side and few of them be terribly memorable ( though there be some interesting scenario and such a provide cover fire for retreat u troop and and all three side get a reasonably satisfy finale ) . the air borne combat be make more open and particularly when play a the u and which have access to three different type of plane and a transport helicopter and an attack chopper ( and that in addition to the special ability ) . this introduce some interesting stuff that work really well while repel from a helicopter and have one unit per side which can effectively empty a building garrison by enemy unit and a limitless source of fund for each side and allow unit to upgrade or expand and allow more different infantry unit to garrison inside bunker or building . obviously and this have some potentially politically and morally provocative material and and i would not claim that i get through the gla campaign without feeling of unease . but that debate should be have in the appropriate forum . this be and after all and a review . all in all . it a pretty good game and and hold new thing for rts game and but the bug and the feature that just ought to be there be a tad obvious . i recommend this to any fan of rts title who be interested in the concept and the promise of good graphic and but faithful fan of c and c may want to be sure before they try it . positive .
