Review of Command and Conquer: Renegade

Command & Conquer: Renegade PC I truly liked this game. It was fun but simple, you landed somewhere and had to shootstuff up, no stupid objectives that were nearly impossible and it supposed to be based on one of the best RTSs (real-time strategy) ever (even though I haven't personally played Command & Conquer). For anyone out there who loves the old school Dooms this is for you. It has a ton of enemies to shoot up with some intelligence. The enemies have different classes but each class looks the same (the makes took the shortcut of putting everyone in masks). Although the health and weapons vary by class most of the classes seem the same. This game is fairly difficult on the Easy setting and I've made it about half way through the medium one (its harder than you think) so I don't even want to see what Hard looks like. Each weapon has a limited ammo supply so you have to really manage your ammo supply because sometimes you need a specific type of weapon. On, yeah, let's say you use up your rocket ammo blowing up a helicopter pad (because you had no explosives because you blew up a building with them) and then you run into a tank, your options are A)try and fight it with whatever you have B)Run away hoping it will go away C) Backtrack to find ammo D) Just die (become a suicide bomber). Some great features are in this game, like the ability to make the game thrid person if like and a realy easy to use aimer. These good things are weighed down by the fact that you may be aiming at an enemy and a foot away but you can't hit him (it only happens at close range). Also they tried to include a stealth mechanic but the enemies are just too sensitive (you might not even move and they will see you). The graphic in this game are pretty cool. All the guns look awesome and some of the levels I just played to look at them. All the people look great and move fluently. Although it looks great but when you shoot people they bend over but still hit you the gun is pointed at the ground during this process. Summary Concept: Shoot-'em up with some strategy Graphics: Good but some textures and vehicles look crappy Sound: The music seems unoticable, the guns sound great (it's like the only thing you can hear) Playability: Standard PC FPS controls. Vehicles are a little hard to shoot from. Entertainment: What better fun that burning a guy with a flamethrower and then spraying him with chemicals and then doing it again 180 more times! Replay Value: Moderate Score: 8 out of 10 *Credit to Game informer for Summary Section.
