woot! its unlocking now!
played the tutorial and a skirmish game (only 1 map). It's pretty much the same ol' C&C. I didn't try campaign yet, so maybe that might help redeem the game some. there are some neat units but nothing really new, at least that i noticed. Graphics are ok, not spectacular like the ads seem to show, and i had everything on max (see my system below). It ran fairly decent (for me) on max settings, no lag. I might want to lower some things like AA to get a little better performance though.
Gameplay is pretty much the same as every other C&C. It does seem a little slow though, especially to build up. Even on easy, the enemy is fairly tough, but I'm not a wiz at RTS games. Garrisoned buildings seem to play a bigger part in the game this time. They can withstand a good pounding. Doesn't seem to be much in the way of upgrades.
Infantry deaths sound like the original sounds from the first C&C which I thought was kind of cool, brings back a few memories. Music seemed ok, wasn't really paying attention but it sounded like the same track all through the time i played (it is a demo though). Weapon sounds seem pretty good.
I've been a big C&C fan from the 1st one to Red Alert 2. Tiberium Sun didn't do a whole lot for me. Generals was a bit better than TS, but still lacked something to me. Going back to its roots for C&C 3 helped, but I'm not sure I'm going to buy it.
