 Key MP features don't work- skip this game May 15, 2008

First off, if you only play C&C for the single player then buy the game, you'll like it. It's a little slower than Tiberium Wars, but not terribly. Also I cannot speak for the online gaming; haven't bothered with it but I hear it is flawed.
The main reason I give KW a low score is because network games that played just fine in TW no longer work in KW... a high number of games are plagued with a de-sync error that will not let you finish. Also, if you are buying for the Risk-like Global Conquest mode, don't bother... you are not allowed to play against humans as the manual implies.
So, months later the gamers are stuck waiting for a patch. EA has really bungled this one with an untested, rushed, buggy piece of junkware. They are not doing much to address the problem and their support # people are clueless. C&C is made for multiplayer, and this game does not deliver... I wouldn't even recommend C&C in the future based on this, and I've been a fan for many years. Westwood and even Blizzard did much better in the past.
 Fun game within a game! May 26, 2008

EA has masterfully done it again! This time they have taken a whole new innovative approach to gaming and made a game WITHIN a game. The game on the box - Kane's Wrath is fun, but even more fun is the BONUS GAME - called "getting it to work!" You'll enjoy countless hours of fun restarting your game and even your whole system! How long can you go before it crashes? Can you break your last record? Join the online community at EA Tech Support and make new friends with thousands, yes THOUSANDS, of other people - trade tips and share suggestions! Brag when you get your game to work for over twenty minutes! They will all admire you! To add to the realism the staff at EA will occasionally post a cryptic comment about a vague fix they are working on that will end the game within the game - but gratefully they have not done it yet! (Rest assured, they have many games with similar isues, some years old, where they have said the same thing; and they haven't ended the game within a game with those yet!)
So go ahead and buy Kane's Wrath. Expand and grow your patience by exercising it every time you play!

Great Game, It is a great buy if you are a CnC fan, Besides, I now get to try RA3 beta when it comes out in September(look out for that offer).
The game in itself is great, has a lot of new fun units.
** The game only has Missions for the NOD there are no GDI or Scrin Missions. Although I guess the Global Conquest mode kind of makes up.
Great game. April 29, 2008

I'm just going to mention a few thing since everything else good has already been said.
Firstly, the Global Conquest feature is really addicting, its like having a campaign and skirmish combined into one uber gametype that you can play over and over again without it getting boring.
Secondly, this expansion expands the storyline a lot. You can expect either another expansion or a C&C4.
Thirdly, I find that the new units and subfactions make it a little more stratigic than before. Now you really can do some hurt without overwhelming hordes of tanks.
Let the games begin. May 3, 2008

Great game, kind of irritating because its so like Tiberium wars, just the more maps and more factions. There goes more money.
What I don't like is that every now and then the game would de-sync---in the middle of our game.
Otherwise the upgrades and different factions add an interesting twist and works well based on your type of strategy--if you like air units, infantry or attack vehicles.
