bit-tech Review

"There are still problems – we'd have loved it if it was possible to zoom out just a tiny bit more for example and the multiplayer side of things does feel like more of the same and is essentially untouched, but by and large Kane's Wrath represents an excellent step forward for both EA and the franchise.

Do we recommend you pick up a copy of Kane's Wrath? Kind of. If you've not already got a copy of Tiberium Wars then, to be honest, it isn't really worth it. You're obviously not a big strategy fan and you'd be spending a lot of money for an expansion pack which isn't standalone.

On the other hand, if you've already got the original game then picking up Kane's Wrath is a definite must – if only because you get a beta key for Red Alert 3 - and that always goes down smooth!" - 30th March 2008
