Review
Command & Conquer is arguably one of the most popular and all around best real time strategy games of the 90s. Originally for the PC, it brought this genre to the mainstream and inspired so many different clones and games trying to recapture and better its magic. Finally, after being ported to the PlayStation, Command & Conquer has found its way to the Saturn. Just like its other console counterpart, this version is a darn near perfect translation of the PC original.
Taking place in a future time, players must choose which side they will play as. You can either play as the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) or the Brotherhood of Nod. Each team is different and depending on who you play as, you will need to use varying strategies. For example, if you're playing as the GDI forces, you will be on the side of good and it will be up to you to stop the terrorists. The terrorist organization is actually the Brotherhood of Nod and if you choose them, it will be up to you to take over the world and carry out your mastermind's plans. Each side has around 15 mission campaigns and each one is radically different from one another (i.e. different forces and technology, opposite mission objectives).
Regardless of which side you're playing as, the main thing you will be doing in this game is commanding your armies. Most missions require you to set up a base and start mining for the coveted Tiberium ore for cash. With the cash you get from this resource, you will have to buy all of the necessary units to complete your mission. As far as the objectives go, most are simple "capture or rescue this guy" and "destroy this facility" missions. While they sound simple on paper, the reality is not so simple as there is a mind-boggling amount of strategy to execute.
From the technological standpoint, Command & Conquer shines. After you complete each mission, you are treated to some really nice looking (and well acted out) full motion video sequences that help move the differing storylines along. The in-game visuals and rendered backgrounds look great as well, and each unit is represented with a realistic looking graphic.
Perhaps the best thing is the menu and control setup. You might expect that it would be hard to use the Saturn controller to point and click your way through this game (a mouse is preferred, however, if you have one), but it really isn't. It only takes a few clicks here and there to carry out your actions and make menu selections. With the intuitive control setup the game feels very responsive and cohesive.
In conclusion, Command & Conquer is a great game no matter what platform it happens to be on. Even if you're not a fan of real-time strategy games, you will more than likely find this game to be an awful lot of fun. This is a must own game for anyone with a Saturn.
Graphics 
Crisp looking backgrounds and units combined with well-done full-motion video sequences equals a great looking game.
Sound 
The soundtrack consists of inspired Industrial and techno-tunes as well as some really strait forward rock pieces. It is truly great and the voice acting is superb.
Enjoyment
Command & Conquer is simply a blast to play. The missions are very action packed while at the same time require lots of strategic setup on your part. With great looking visuals, a comprehensive control setup, and two different sides to play as, it's a thoroughly enjoyable game from start to finish. It can, however, get a bit frustrating at times as some of the missions are very hard.
Replay Value
Since there are two different forces, you will be playing this for a very long time. Some missions will take the better half of a week to complete.
Documentation
The manual is very comprehensive and goes into detail about what is different about each force, what some of the units do and how to get around in the menu system.
