Command & Control 3

A fun game to while away a few hours with, but not without its frustrations. Whilst the campaign starts off nicely, allowing you to deploy a good range of units in a tactical manner, it soon resorts to the usual meat-grinder technique of spamming overwhelming numbers of enemy bots at you. The enemy will literally spawn right beside your own units in the area you are capturing, killing any sense of immersion. This 'meat-grinder' style forces you to ditch most of your units and just stick to the most powerful and well armoured, which is a shame and makes mission seem more repetitive than they otherwise would. Infantry become useless as the campaign progresses because they die too quickly and eat up your resources. Helicopters are terribly inaccurate, and cruise missiles are too weak, so they too become redundant. The only infantry units I used later in the campaign were engineers with Javelins to take out enemy armour. You'll probably end up sticking with the primitive tactic of trying to overwhelm your enemy with numbers, not easy because they often arrive in huge swarms. Skirmish mode is actually a lot of fun, and you can deploy more varied tactics, making use of all units. (only played offline mode). The graphics are pleasing in a simplistic sort of way, and the sounds are very good. Overall, I'd say it's value for the money, especially if you buy it on sale .... and of course there's the demo, which I tried, and decided I liked it enough to buy the game. How I wish all games had a demo ... well done devs!

Even tho it is not at all like the first command and control i played on the webbrowser years ago, this game is another gem on itself. The voice lines of the troops I do recognize and give that good bit of nostalgia. The game mechanics are amazing and work together very well;. In your progress as the commander, does the game give great improvements in diffeculty, mechanics and diversity. I simply love it for what it is, just as I liked the first tower defense like command and control.

its good but you can die very fast
