It takes some getting used to, but for the most part controls are doubled up in groupings through the use of the controller triggers. That said, EA have done a pretty top-notch job with what they have and after a few missions I found myself caring less and less about a lack of free-form control. The ability to quickly use the mouse to select units or utilise constructed hot keys makes this style of game almost impossible to look at on an Xbox 360. One of the key aspects of any RTS is maintaining a constant vigil on everything you need to manage and micro-manage and this is best done with the keyboard and mouse combo. Anyone potentially looking to get into this on home-console however, should sit up and pay attention because this is potentially the first step in getting the RTS genre right for the under-the-tellie crowd.
If you’ve played C&C3: TW on PC and enjoyed the fight against the Brotherhood and newcomers, Scrin, chances are you've already picked up the Kane's Wrath expansion. For the most part, this is all business as usual, only this time on Xbox 360.
