It's been a while since we last saw decent real-time strategy games on the
consoles and now they seem to be coming through in force. In C&C;,
players take control of either GDI (GI Joe) or NOD (Cobra) - two opposing
world powers. Each side has an array of vehicles and weaponry (these range
from Flame Tanks to Commandos) available to its disposal. Of course, war
isn't cheap, so it's the player's job to mine Tiberium, an alien ore of
enormous value, to make money for war assets.
Based off the nearly two-year-old PC version, C&C; adds little to the
existing game. A new remixed, redbook soundtrack and added transparencies
round out the new improvements. The lowered resolution hurts somewhat as
well, but players who have never played the PC version have nothing to
worry about. One thing that is undeniable is that the Saturn C&C;
suffers tremendously from the lack of a multi-player feature and/or NetLink
compatibility. But, despite these shortcomings, C&C; still manages
to maintain its composure and come off as one of the best Saturn games
yet.
Bottom Line: A must for Saturn owners.
