That said, the odd level late in the campaigns can be a frustrating endurance test, relentlessly pushing enemies with suspiciously fast build speeds at you in staggered pincer movements until you finally manage to scrape together enough base defences to stage your own invasion. As long as every assault or defence contains something to deal with infantry, something to deal with vehicles and something to deal with planes, ideally in massed numbers, you’re pretty much good to go. It’s not that it’s easy, but rather that you can take it easy. (Goodness, didn’t that sound all BBC News?) In the campaign though, you can afford to take your eye off the ball for long stretches, idly watching your latest rush of Scorpion Tanks rush do their thing, wondering if they’ll manage to take out that sonic cannon before they’re all destroyed, and not being hugely bothered if they don’t. Well, in single-player at least – we’ve not been able to test the multiplayer yet, but we will bring you a full update on that very soon.

While that requires constant management, an iron will and the sort of brain that Oscar-winning films get made about, C&C 3 is really, really stupid. Supreme CommanderĪs such, it’s very much the antidote to Supreme Commander. The cheap-looking cut-scenes, featuring constant soap opera backstabbing and Sawyer from Lost mentioning male genitalia once too often, the total obviousness of how to win, the fact that a bunch of tiny men can somehow kill a towering alien tripod – don’t worry about it. It’s not playing for laughs, as such, but it is playing for pure entertainment. No longer creeping but now an unstoppable force laying waste to everything in sight, that was when I understood C&C3. She’s a one-woman genocide machine and, actually, it’s hilarious.

Except this lone assassin can kill forty men in less time than it takes me to blink. You know the drill – comb carefully around an enemy-filled map, and if she dies it’s game over instantly. Then, the inevitable lone assassin level. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Free Download Repacklab
