For the true fan, a boon, for the rest, not so much..

To me, this is a very odd release. There hasn’t been a new C&C product in quite a while, and while I recognize that there is a very dedicated fanbase, I don’t see why these games needed to be “ressurected”. Lets face it, RTS’ come out almost constantly, and the genre has been improved since C&C.

While I too have fond memories of the games, they are best left as memories. These games age well, but they have aged, and better RTS’ are out there now. Frankly, I think that this is just a bit of a money grab by a publisher, and not a real game product at all. That said, if you’re a die hard fan, of course you’ll like this, but for the rest of us C&C is history.
