Summary: One Word: Awesome!
Review: The game is awesome. Put away some minor bugs. The game simple blew me away. I've played the entire game, and on online servers and never got bored (except with teammates that don't know how to work as a team, but that's our falts, not Westwoods). I find that everything is really good throughout the game. It just semply blew me away, as stated above so.

Just a warning though, if you are a voodoo person, you might experince problems installing since voodoo isn't supported anymore.

ENJOY

Summary: An excellent addition to the C&C line of games!
Review: Sure the graphics aren't as good as Return to Castle Wolfenstein's, but graphics aren't everything. They are respectable, and run very well on lower-end machines. Also, the sounds are very clear, crisp, and easy to identify; so I can say, "Hey! That bullet came from a Black Hand's Sniper Rifle--I better find some cover!"

The multiplay is intense. The netcode is very clean which lends to good frames-per-second even during heavy fighting on Complex.mix (a really big multi map). And with the new AirCraft patch being released just weeks from today (two new maps with buildable\drivable aircraft, complete with special layouts and structures especially for the use of th new AirCraft), the strategy will be upped quite a bit. The BETA testers have said, "...the aircraft aren't all these maps offer: sniper wars have been brought to a whole new level..."

The single player is okay--as some have said the story could've been different. It was still very fun. Tomorrow's Technology Today is my favorite mission: lots of stuff to do, varying strategies must be employed for success, and a special twist in the middle...

Summary: Could be better.
Review: Being a large C&C fan, it was great seeing the buildings, the vehicles, and the NOD forces from this perspective. All in all, the game was fun to play and have faster paced action tha MOHAA. But this game misses on a few things:

1. The AI is the worst of any recent FPS game I have played.
2. The on-line game play is very laggy and with everyone just building vehicles, it was boring
3. The cut scenes, though pretty well done, looked like they were painted on
4. The end bosses (there were only 3 or 4 thank god) were terrible. You can't out run or out manuever them. All you can do is stand there in front of them and keep shooting till they die.

Here is what was good other than what I have already mentioned:
1. The graphics were better than some of the reviews were saying (If your graphics aren't very good, its time for a better video card)
2. The music is awesome
3. Nick Havoc is a very cool character
4. The weapons were pretty cool. Got to use every weapon more than once. Some games like RTCW & MOHAA, you were able to get through the game only using about half of the weapons available.
5. Driving many vehicles. You get to use many different vehicles and fight other vehicles

Overall, I liked this game alot, but compared to RTCW & MOHAA, something was missing.
A little hint while playing the game. If you find some of your other weapons running low on ammo (and you will because on different levels, enemies only use certain weapons), use your little pistol and aim for the head. You would be surprised at how quickly some enemies will die with one pistol shot to the head.
I would recommend this game unless you are looking for good on-line game, then I would tell you to look elsewhere. Happy hunting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of Westwood Games
Review: It has some draw backs like the loading time but other then that, it's the best game so far in my opinon. Excellent grapics and great game play makes this game worth the wait. Also, there are endless stageries at your finger tip to test.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best game that ever hit the shelves
Review: I have heard people make tons of complaints about this game that are nonsense(not on amazon.com.) First complaint that people make is that the graphics are bad (outdated.) What are you talking about!!? This game has excellent graphics(better than age of empires or starcraft.) Some people even go far enough to say that the movies and cut scenes are laughable. Again, the movies are really cool. Even my little brother has fun watching me play the single player games. The games are action packed. The graphics are excellent. The new features add lots of ways to beat each mission (putting soldiers in civilian buildings and blowing up bridges.) Also some people say that beating the missions depennds on buiding large amounts of units. Yet again wrong!! What if your opponent has heavy base defenses or large groups of units stationed around their base? There are so many kinds of untits for the Allies and Soviets(enginiers and spies add new possibilities for all missions. Some people say that the game depends on super units(such as prism or appocalipse tanks.) Not really. There are pwerful units bet the game does not depend on super units. The terrain IS deformable(when tanks blow up they leave marks and trees and bridles can be destroyes.) Every aspect of the game is heaven. From building my base to attacking the enemy. If you havn't bought it you should definately get it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For RTS fans only
Review: I have every C&C game with every expansion and this one easily beats the competition. I really hope they make Red Alert 3.
The videos are made by the same actors. The action is intense and it is way harder than Red Alert 2. Yuri's side offers a lot to the multiplayer experience, plus both Soviets and Allies get new units. What are you waiting for? Buy it! You won't regret it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good shooter
Review: Actually I would give this game a 3.5 but because it was based on the Command and Conquer series it deserves 4 stars. I read in some reviews that people who bought this game did not like it. Well I am a big fan of FPS games and I liked this game. It is not the best game ever thats for sure but playing command and conquer in 1st person is surely fun. The graphics are very good actually but in some areas they could be better. You can use many vehicles in this game and that is something that adds more value to the game. The control of the vehicles are so easy also. However it is true that the game revolves around saving 3 scientists. You destroy the bases and use the CC vehicles but I think the story could be different. Something like prevent NODs to nuke the world. Not to save 3 scientists. So I believe the story is week but the game is much fun to play. ... Not a perfect game but still much fun...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun but shallow
Review: This game does capture the C&C feel very well, and it makes the player feel as if he's part of the overall battle that is continuously going on between GDI and Nod. Its looks are respectable, neither as beautiful as they could have been nor as wretched as other reviews have indicated. I am having no problems with choppy movement, again as other reviews have indicated.

Bad points, for me, include the typically asinine testosterone-filled cliches which litter the scripted conversations and cutscenes like droppings on a windshield. Westwood appears to be aiming at a target audience made up of male 13-year-olds, as both male and female characters reek of adolescent fantasy material. Trying to watch the cutscenes evokes the same feelings that seeing Gary Coleman on "The Weakest Link" did--a terrible desire to change the channel out of reflected humiliation (I can, at least, hit the power button on the speakers when the shooting stops).

It's not the best shooter by far, but it's good for some mindless entertainment and nostalgia value.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you liked RA2 you love Yuris Revenge

Hope this help some.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Renegade is Alright
Review: "Renegade" is fine if you're a fan of Westwood's Command & Conquer RTS games. If not, then you'll probably have a hard time digging the concept of running around and inside the huge buildings you could only mess with from a distance and I think "Renegade" succeeds quite well here.

But "Renegade" gets its [butt] severely whomped when it trys to showup far superior FPS games such as Raven Software's "Soldier of Fortune" or "Elite Force". There are so many errors with the A.I., the most glaring is with the enemy who might stand two feet from you and not see you, not even as you rip it apart with your chaingun. And though Westwood has been able to pull off some interesting things with its engine, "Renegade" just doesn't have what it takes in the graphics department to really compete with the likes of id's "Quake III Team Arena" engine or even Epic's "Unreal Tournament" engine.

Still, "Renegade" has some really cool level design, kickbutt weapons, solid multiplay and a great soundtrack filled with screaming soldiers and booming explosions, really placing you in the combat boots of the good guy, Nick "Havok" Parker.

My thinking is if you like Command & Conquer and wish you could really be at ground zero, "Renegade" doesn't disappoint. But if you're looking for a killer FPS game, save your money for "Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix".
