This strategy game pits the militaristic forces of the Global Defence Initiative against the Brotherhood of Nod, an equally well-armed religious order. Players may play either side as the factions fight to control an ecologically ravaged Earth. The key to winning is tiberium, a plant that serves as raw material for weapons and factories. Controlling this powerful fuel source allows you to generate funds, raise armies and fend off destruction. Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun is a simple combat simulator that allows the player to gather resources, turn them into soldiers and unleash them against the foe. The game runs in real time, so events can turn against you quickly, but if one is cautious and observant, the battles are not too hard to win. Though their missions are different, the two sides are essentially interchangeable, with identical military discipline and similar battle units. Though the Brotherhood of Nod has fascist trappings and is obviously the villain, there is no significant difference in playing one side or the other. The game also lacks female battle units, though it features a few women in interstitial sequences. Despite these weaknesses, Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun is thoroughly entertaining and will satisfy anyone who enjoys building an army from the ground up and testing it on the battlefield. --Alyx Dellamonica

Westwood has done it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! August 15, 2006
IRok 1066 (UK)
Where to start? Well, you can choose between GDI or the Brotherhood of NOD (GDI tend to have huge vehicles whereas NOD have faster, more stealthy vehicles). It's based on the first one but better! Damn good song list, fantastic graphics (Not quite 3D), more missions! Plus, you gain more advanced infantry, vehicles and technology as you progress through the game. If you have the original C@C, then you'll know that the storyline follows on pretty much.
Overall, this game is still my favourite one of the series. ANYONE OUT THERE WHO'S A C@C FAN, GET THIS GAME! Three cheers for Westwood!!!

The command and conquer series are a highly addictive group of games, and Tiberian Sun is definitively my Faveourite. In the origional the GDI were far superior to NOD but now the tables have turned and Kane is back. If you love this game then the Firestorm bonus disc is also a must with beauts such as the Reaper cyborgs, Ion Storms and mobile EMP cannons, you cant go wrong. This game is a must, but dont expect to have friends when youve finished it!!!

Command and Conquer games are always classics but this one is my absolute favourite. The game, like the first is all about Tiberium, a alien substance from out of space which is used to create weapons. Nod an fanatical religous faction thought defeated in earlier games has no returned and it's up to GDI to take them down. Among GDI new units are the Wolverine a walking batt5le tank, the Ghost Stalker, invisible with a Rail Gun and the super Mammoth Mark2. Among Nods new units are the Cyborg, a brilliant anti-infanry united, the Cyborg Commando, an anti-everything warrior and the tick-tank a tank that converts into a base defense. The best game in the C&C series.

I played the original C&C, and loved it. Then came
its sequel - Tiberian Sun. I started on the GDI
(the "goodies") mission, and enjoyed it.
What was new? My tanks now walked around on legs, my APC could take to water like a duck and I
got to see the great James Earl Jones (Darth Vader's voice) in the FMV sequences. Mmmm. Fun as it was - it wasn't *that* new and I was a tad disapppointed.But then I discovered the internet button, and
over Christmas 1999/2000 I was battling it out nightly - sometimes all nightly - with other players across the world. Every nuance of the game was realised, and not a little human psychology came into the game. Yes there are some rude folk out there, and yes even some cheats, but Westwood seem to keep these guys in check on their *free*
game servers. Buy it, play the missions to learn it, then unleash this game's true potential on the net.
Great game...some would say. December 18, 2000

Tiberian Sun, "yes!" I thought. "The sequel to one of my favourite war games ever!" This was thought in my head as I found out this great news." I would really want to by this for x-mas '99! But then, upon stumbling across C+C Red Alert 2, almost a few months later...I'm still thinking!Do I buy Tiberian Sun or Red Alert 2? Or,because their both just as addictive and seen as it's almost Christmas 2000,I go and buy them both? OR (and this is a big or...) I go ahead and buy the superb"Mega Box" that has just turned up? G** sake! These games are so good, so addictive, and yet there are so many opinions out there that it's almost driven me to distraction! There must be other kids out there that share the same problems that I do! Great Games Westwood, though some would say just too great!
