  All of these additions--new units, a new campaign, and so on--add more ways to play, and plenty of subtle variety. Not every addition is significant, and in some cases, they're underwhelming (Steel Talon subfaction, this means you). Yet the core gameplay is so good and performs so well on the platform that Command & Conquer fans would do well to pick up a copy.

  If it?s story you?re after, though, look elsewhere. The live-action video sequences have worn out their welcome, and the plot is almost nonexistent here, unless you?re a hardcore fan of the series. But on the whole, Command & Conquer 3: Kane?s Wrath is a good value, if nothing especially exciting.

  Kane's Wrath's biggest problem, though, lies not with the controls but with the difficulty. It feels like it doesn't know what kind of gamer it's aimed at. Is it for the RTS veteran who, in the very first mission, can handle multiple attacks, manage varied build queues and tank rush the enemy base all at the same time? Or is it for the 360 owner who might have only dipped in and out of the RTS genre over the years and, from what he or she has read of the radial interface, now fancies a closer look? In the end Kane's Wrath lands somewhere in the middle.

  Kane's Wrath is a great example that real time strategy can find a comfortable home on a console. With the added bonus of not needing the previous Command & Conquer installment, Kane's Wrath comes as a very easy recommendation to RTS fans who may not have a gaming PC or simply want to try out their favorite genre on a different platform.

  Ultimately, Kane's Wrath is something that old school RTS fans and die-hard C&C veterans will enjoy. There's enough here to keep them busy for a long time. Those looking for a more modern RTS experience should look elsewhere, though.

  7.0

  Ultimately, Kane's Wrath takes some risks and offers a diverse expansion with something for everyone. A quality campaign of familiar missions will please purists, while new factions give multi-player enthusiasts plenty new to play with. Global Conquest steals the show with a compelling answer to accusations that the series has gone stale. Unfortunately, there might not be enough of any one thing to really satisfy casual fans and justify the asking price.
