Kane's Wrath is the newest addition to the old
Command and Conquer series, built on top of the somewhat disappointing
C&C3: Tiberium Wars. Unlike just about every other expansion in
C&C history, this one focuses exclusively on one side – the Brotherhood of Nod. If you are a rabid fan of
Kane, then you are the target audience of this expansion. If you aren't, well, then be prepared for a conspicuous absence of just about any other personality. Kane, Kane, more Kane... oh, and some blonde chick too. What's with Nod and blonde chicks with frightening similarities to a
drunk Sharon Stone?
But if you don't like Kane... then honestly, why are you even reading this review? Also, how can you NOT like Kane? He's intense, hilariously over-the-top in all the right ways, and he leads a cult. So what if he
dances like a muppet?
Besides Kane, and a bevy of new scenarios covering several unaddressed links between the previous
C&C games and
C&C 3,
Kane's Wrath brings a host of gameplay tweaks, some new multiplayer maps, and a brand new game mode. On a marketing page, it sounds great. But there's one question you really have to ask yourself before you go any further.
Did you enjoy
Command & Conquer 3?
