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.
Take control
The big question is: does it work? The
even bigger answer: yes it does.
Following a comprehensive boot
camp styled tutorial, the control system becomes fairly intuitive, with
the interface having been
specifically designed around the
360 joypad. Certain elements are
fiddly, although this often has more
to do with the practicalities of
console gaming than it does
the vagaries of a shoehorned
control system.
