While this is a welcome feature, you can ONLY queue up to a total of five units. There is also a waypoint system which is well implemented, and players can now queue up to five units to be built. These are especially devastating in multi-player modes, where an inconvenient meteor shower could have tiberium sprouting up in your base, damaging units, or an ion storm could knock out your radar, hover units, power-intensive defense structures, and slow unit production to a crawl. There's a meteor shower which rains destruction and makes tiberium sprout up, and an ion storm which rains destruction, but also knocks out power. A particularly cool feature is the natural disasters. However, hiding amongst the familiarity are a few new features. Gameplay is still the basic point-and-click type. The interface hasn't changed all that much. Tiberian Sun will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played any of the previous Command & Conquer games. Unfortunately, Tiberian Sun brings very little new to the Command & Conquer line-up and offers nothing in the way of innovation. Tiberian Sun is the official sequel to the original Command & Conquer, with the excellent Command & Conquer: Red Alert and a few expansion packs between releases. The new units, seven in total, do add flavour to the bland proceedings and, though small in number, do require a rethink in overall strategy - in multiplayer games especially.Very few games have ever had the amount of hype and the number of expectations to live up to as Command & Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun. That aside, the missions themselves are, for the most part, plodding affairs, with the usual mix of en masse attacking and base building from scratch.

Rather than bundle together a loose collection of missions and link them with text messages or poorly delivered speech, Westwood has at least divided them up with its usual big-bucks high production video sequences, which for mission packs is pretty much unheard of. True to form, Westwood has managed to create a quality expansion - not in terms of gameplay, but in presentation. As is standard with add-ons, you'll find a clutch of new units, new campaigns for each side and a few enhancements to gameplay, most of which do more to expand the game's appeal than you might expect. It will come as no surprise to you then that, if like us, you fell asleep at the keyboard playing the game, there isn't really much in Firestorm to keep your eyelids from clamping shut while playing it some more.
