New Year Bonanza: Get Command and Conquer 4 for Free

2011 is here and guess what our friends at Electronic Arts join us in wishing our readers and patrons at Tube5800 a very Happy New Year 2011. As we gave it way with the title of our post, one of the best selling real-time tactics video games of all times-Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight is available as a free download exclusively at the Ovi store.

Tiberian Twilight as you may know is the latest and final chapter of Kane saga of the Command and Conquer series. So yeah, Tube5800ers are getting the latest game for free and before you head to ovi store to download this game, check out our brief review, after the break.Screenshots-

The gameplay of Command and Conquer is built around the concept of conquering bases scattered all over the map. Gamers can chose between offense and defense modes while Command and Conquer fans may miss the “support” mode available on Command and Conquer on desktop platform. Defense mode is not available for the preliminary levels though so gamers start with offense mode.

What we like?

1. Sound effects contribute for engaging gameplay
2. Optimally placed buttons don’t hinder much with gameplay

What we don’t like?

1. Mediocre graphics (We were expecting more from EA with Tiberian Twilight being the latest chapter in this series)
2. Control options are not optimal (Single taps and double taps are not consistent at times)

Verdict

Executing a real-time tactics game on a mobile platform is a challenge especially give the dimensions of mobile screens but EA has done a decent job with Tiberian Twilight on Symbian. Though the control options and graphics leave us a tad disappointed but given that its a free game (for a limited time only) it’s worth the download. However, we would fall short of recommending this game, when EA pulls the plug on the free offer. So yeah, get this game while it’s still free and get your dose of Tiberian Twilight on-the-move.
