As was true for the previous C&C titles, C&C3 has real actors portraying characters in-game, either for cinematics or during gameplay to give updates. Familiar actors like Michael Ironside (the voice of Sam Fisher) and Jennifer Morrison (Dr. Cameron in House M.D.), as well as returning faces like that of the infamous Kane are the star power. It’s a comforting change to see real actors in a game after watching so many titles with either CGI or animated cinematics.

One of the biggest differences between the PC and 360 versions of C&C3 is the use of the vision camera. During an online match, players with cameras can use them to see each other while communicating, which brings another realm of excitement to the game. Or so says the videos, open for download. The online play in the demo used this feature, though it is one of those things that works best when playing with three friends. Random strangers don’t bring the same kind of enjoyment.

Set for release on May 10th, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars promises to be the first, and at the very least, adequate C&C title for a next-generation console. Any fan of the genre and franchise with a 360 should a look at the game, one of the few current releases.
