Many mods for games usually only change a few features, then there are total conversion mods that don't have a whole lot of progress done and only have a few people working on them and not whole heartedly.
Twisted Insurrection is more or less exactly like the original Tiberium Sun, except it's entirely different. Following an alternate story line if Nod Had won, it allows for different technologies, different struggles, and an entirely different game.
Starting from after the first C&C, and working its way up into what is the equivalent of the second tiberium war with GDI attempting to take back lost ground, the two campaigns follow different paths with different views on this frightening new world.
As for game play itself, there are a few bugs here and there, and some of the missions are insanely hard or require you to do specific things that make me uncomfortable or seem really close to impossible (Like taking out a nod base with a very, very small squad) However the ability to select individual missions means it's not a huge problem if you can't beat a level for some reason.
Both factions are extremely well done, with existing units being re-textured or outright redone as different units, and following their own tech trees brilliantly. The AI is a pain in the ***, but a fair challenge.
To say, if you can beat Twisted Insurrection, you can play the original Tiberium Sun without much a challenge, this game is hard.
So, a 10/10 is well earned, by a team that's made new maps, new textures, new units, new soundtrack, a new story, and an entirely new game from something old, it is earned, more than any other mod I have ever played.
I got into Open RA a little bit before but I had a huge problem with my cusore acting like it was on another window and not working in game. However on my new laptop Open RA works just fine, and I've gotten to enjoy the mechanics of the game. I have to say that whenever I have free time or just want to see two AI battle it out, I'll open Open RA up and start a Skirmish match. I love the how the new mechanics improve on the old in nearly every way. (slower cruiser shells and missles mean things don't instantly die anymore, but they look more cinematic so iz fine) I love how Dune was included with Red Alert and Tiberium Dawn, since I've been a C&C fan since I was a hatchling. I never got to play Dune since reasons but Red Alert new and updated like this makes me so happy. So a 10/10 is well deserved. Keep up the great work Open RA Team!
Although it's hard as dicks to win, it provides an awesome challenge.
To say... it's too hard for me on easy... The AI swarms, and is rather good for this.
So to say, 10/10 for a mod to my second favorite game ever of all time... With the original Red Alert being the best ever! Of all time!
I love how the units aren't horribly messy looking unlike some other mods *cough* Apocalypse *cough*
AWESOME, ALL OF IT!!!
Great buy. Great game.
