9/27/2023 0 Comments Command and conquer xbox 360Using the two analogue sticks on the Xbox 360 controller to find the best view, zoom and angle to assess your next move or just to admire some of the graphical splendour is far easier than using scroll wheels, cursor keys or whatever else on the PC. OK selecting units is and will always be easier on the PC thanks to the precise nature of the mouse however where the mouse can sometimes fall flat on its backside is traversing the battle area. What is most surprising is that in some way having played both the PC and Xbox 360 version of this title is that in a lot of ways I actually prefer the controller! No I haven’t lost my marbles, just read on… No longer will we be scared to pick up a controller to play what before has always been considered a PC only possibility for the purists. Therefore Command and Conquer has learned what did and didn’t work here and has pretty triumphantly now taken RTS games into the right direction. Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2 for the Xbox 360 may have gone a long way in calming any control fears thanks to its great advances of understanding what we as gamers need in having such a title on our system. ![]() So as a real time strategy game on a console, the usual and now quite tedious arguments of PC versus our block of gaming goodness that sits under the television returns as that keyboard and mouse versus controller arises from the ashes yet again. All are entertaining in their own right, but the story actually does add a greater sense of purpose and continuation. The missions vary quite a bit whether you are attacking, defending, scouting or just a selection of the three. With a bonkers story line that over the years has progressed very little, Command and Conquer has returned with a very nostalgic feel to it as it tries so hard to capture the magic of the series previously experienced many moons ago.Īs in typical Command and Conquer fashion, you have your usual challenges as either GDI (you know the good guys), The Brotherhood of Nod (you know the bad guys) and now a mysterious alien race that should go some way into explaining why on earth the planet is covered by this Tiberium substance. The original Command and Conquer sported fast action gameplay with a strategic and tactical command posturing, but the most important factor was of course how much fun it was to play. So while trying to remain critical while experiencing this happy glow that has appeared since reliving some great gaming moments, will Command and Conquer deliver the goods? Gameplay Those wonderfully cheesy video segments (back in the day referred to as FMV sequences), have returned as well in over 90 minutes worth of glorious high definition footage with recognisable actors including the same actor who played Kane back in the day. Kane is indeed back as the Internet reported time and time again. ![]() ![]() This is certainly not a bad thing and for now a 26 year old gamer who has the experience and history to recognise how the industry has transformed in that time, it is nice to have that nostalgia and classic nature return for those younger peeps who have yet to experience the rich past a lot of us enjoyed.Ĭommand and Conquer was one of those titles that met the requirement for classic status and although there have been many iterations of the game, the soul has certainly returned in the latest. It feels just lately that some of the best games I played on the PC all those years ago are returning in a very sentimental form.
