The only drawback is in multiplayer mode, as working out which Scrin does what can be tricky. The designers have done a fantastic job of making the alien Scrin models look convincingly organic and Starship Troopers-like. That quickly changes when an alien invasion fleet launches an all-out assault on Earth, attracted by the abundance of tiberium. When you first start playing Tiberium Wars, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was just a rehash of C&C2, with the same cast and different maps. There are more than a few recognisable faces this time round: Grace Park and Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica and Michael Ironside from Starship Troopers all put in an appearance. GDI (the successor to NATO) wants to remove the threat and return Earth to its former glory the terrorist organisation Nod (led once more by the super-villain Kane) wants to use its mutating properties to create the next generation of humanity.Īs with all C&C games, the levels are spliced together with well-crafted live-action movie clips that drive the storyline. Tiberium, which isn’t good for natural ecosystems, is spreading across the globe with disastrous effects. The game picks up two decades after C&C Firestorm. But where other RTS games have you collecting a range of different materials, C&C has only one resource – tiberium – which you harvest and convert into cash. The game remains a traditional real-time strategy, with a base to expand and units to build.
