Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars Review - Xbox 360

A bastion of the murky world of PC gaming, conventional wisdom dictates that real time strategy simply can’t be successfully transferred to a console. It’s a debate that has raged endlessly, the crux of the matter being that shifting a bunch of toy soldiers round the screen can only be properly done with a mouse. Until now, the developers of the venerable Command & Conquer series would appear to have gone along with this thinking, having not released a console version of the game since a mainly bad attempt some seven years ago.
The console landscape is a very different place now though, with such phenomena as HD-T V and Xbox Live to contend with, although ultimately it still comes down to control issues. However, following the acceptable response to last year’s Lord Of The Rings s trategy game, EA has honed the control system further and C& C3 comes out all guns blazing for a nextgen assault.
