Well what can I say, this game is excellent. Like all of the Command and Conquer games, the campaign mode, for all three factions, is fun and addictive. The skirmish mode allows you to extend the life of the game beyond the campaigns, but if you are like myself, you will find yourself wanting to download more maps to make things more interesting. I was very impressed with the risk like, campaign map on the Kane's Wrath add on. The only downside I can think of for this game, is the difficulty in creating ones own maps and editing the game stats. The world builder program is difficult to use, compared to the map editors available for previous C&C titles. Overall the game play is excellent, the graphics are amazing and the campaign mode on it's own, with the all star cast, makes the game well worth the money.

EA Games is very well-known for "ditching their products" after a year or so -- sometimes as early as a few months. While Command & Conquer 3 was a really fun game, you shouldn't expect anyone to be online except a handful of veteran players who will stomp you into the ground. The game hasn't been updated in a very long time, and you cannot expect it to. Games like Warcraft 3 have been around for nearly 10 years and it still gets updated once in a while; but I guess that's because Blizzard actually cares.

If you wanna play this game offline for the story mode, or get together with friends and play multi-player, you will have an absolute blast -- but don't expect to find any online play.

Overall a great game, It is what I think every RTS should be. Great balance between factions, Good overall look to the game, and even the cheesy cut scenes add to the game experience. I find the Normal difficulty setting plenty challenging, sometimes frustratingly so. But that is part of what makes the game so playable. If there wasn't a challenge it wouldn't be worth playing.
However, one glitch on loading - The game would not run on my computer until I downloaded the latest patch. I have fairly up-to-date PC (Intel Quad-Core, 6GB RAM, ATI dedicated graphics card, Windows Vista) After the patch was installed the game runs great,
