Finally a demo has been released for Command & Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars, While this demo is only a small component of the game I would have to say that it is certainly impressive. The demo comes complete with One tutorial mission, Two single player missions featuring live action video sequences, One skirmish map with varying difficulty settings and One live action trailer montage featuring Tricia Helfer, Josh Holloway, Joe Kucan, Michael Ironside, Jennifer Morrison, Billy Dee Williams, and Grace Park. The system requirements are of average standards considering the game is yet to be released. The game will run on a computer with the following specifications: OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista (32-bit; 64-bit versions of Vista are not supported) CPU: 2.0GHz or high, or AMD equivalent RAM: 512 MB or more Disk Drive: 8x or faster DVD drive for retail SKUs, not required for digitally downloaded version Hard Drive: 8.0 GB or more of free space Video: GeForce4, ATI Radeon 8500 or greater (ATI Radeon 9200 and 9250 PCI, NVIDIA Geforce 4 MX cards not supported.) Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card Network, Internet Multiplayer: 2 players (no voice support) – 56 Kbps Internet connection; 2-8 players (with voice transmission) – Broadband-class connection While these are minimum requirements in order to play C&C 3 we recommend that you have atleast 1GB RAM, Geforce FX 5600 or better. If you are a gamer who prefers online gaming we would have to recommend that you play on a 1500/256 broadband connection. Ultimately if you want to play multiplayer and dont have access to a high end broadband connection stick to the LAN styled multiplayer as it is going to be the best and you will still have fun playing C&C 3 multiplayer. The game play on a Pentium 4 2.4GHz with 1GB RAM was interesting to say the least, the initial video clips and campaign modules was a bit sluggish in parts which could be contributed to the video card being a Geforce FX5200. Once the campaign started the game ran well with no lags what so ever. The interface is refreshingly new as opposed to previous versions of Command & Conquer, however some components was difficult to work out at the start. You can create a good selection of troops and vehicles, airfields are also in the game again. There was a few construction limitations which was a bit annoying at first but once I got the hang of it I was able to expand my base quite quickly. The two campaigns available in the demo were both GDI based which was a bit annoying as you dont get to see what NOD or the new alien race can do along with their technology. Overall the game lived up to its expectations except for the graphics which was a bit of a letdown as you would expect the graphics to be a bit more up to date and detailed as the technology is available. From a C&C lover's point of view this is a must have. If you are wanting to get in to the world of C&C I would definitely recommend that this is a good starting point. Once the game is finally released it will be a game I will be definitely investing in. I have attached some screenshots in to this review for you to see.
