Does it have cheesy live action videos with supermodels and A-list actors/actresses who have to act out crazy scenes and say ridiculous lines while barely keeping a straight face?

He had a career spanning dozens of stone cold classic movies, incredible performances all.

They need to use ridiculous accents or else I would deem it unplayable.

Alas, no

the inter-mission briefings are a welcome callback to C&C, but the real time 3D characters simply don't have the charm of Westwood's lovably daft FMVs.

joke aside, this franchise needs a charismatic leader such as Kane. that would be perfect

No, unfortunately it doesnt. The scenes are more or less serious, so thats a bit sad, but its ok.

Command and Conquer for the modern age, I love it!

I bought it yesterday, its a modern command & conquer, worth buying if you like that sort of base building, resource gathering and massive fight kind of a game. :)

There hasnt been anything like it in decades so I like it a lot.
