Could have been much better.... [Posted on 2001-01-23]
This game could have been much better. There are only 9 new missions for each side. There are only about four new units for each side. The vidio clips are horrible beyond belief. The new storyline isnt very interesting, and in most of the missions you get very limited technology, so you dont get to use the new units very much.

When I got it, I "plugged" it in and watched the magic. It is a vast improvement for GDI, because now they have artillery units(Juggernauts) making it a bit more equal on both sides(GDI[good] and NOD[bad]).

The missions are by far better than Tiberian Sun, making this a most enjoyable game. If you feel lucky, you might want to try the World Domination Tour. I tried it and boy is the CPU hard.

GDI has awesome new units like a Mobile EMP, Mobile War Factory, and Drop Pod Control Plug for on the Upgrade Center.

NOD has new units too, but not as exciting as GDI's. They include a Mobile Stealth Generator, Fist of Nod(MWF), and my favorite, the Cyborg Reaper.

Don't buy this package.... [Posted on 2002-02-21]
For the same price you can get tiberian sun along with this expansion pack. Why pay [this much] just for this? Get the combination pack called "fire power" for the same price and you will have an additional TS game to share with a friend. That package also provides you with a TS soundtrack CD which is pretty cool to listen to. As for the firestorm pack i would say it provides some nice additions. Several additional units on each side and some minor changes to some units that westwood thought would help the competiveness. They do. For example GDI jump jet infantry have been given better range and the ability to see cloaked units and structures. They have added the juggernaut to the GDI which is similar to the nod artillery. Another neat addition is the mobile war factory that is available for both the nod and the GDI. The nod is gifted with a multiple missile launcher. Of course you get several new maps which are bigger and better than the TS ones. The firestorm map editor provides the opportunity to make some really neat maps. Unfortunately none of these maps will work without the firestorm disc in case you have a friend who doesn't have it. Also firestorm brings a slightly improved steamlined look for some units. Not a big change but the firestorm graphics seem just a bit cleaner and sharper.

That brings us to the main reason for buying any expansion pack. The missions. Firestorm gives you 18 original missions(9 for each side) and they are all fun and well thought out. These missions assume you already know how to play the game and include some creative additions you have not seen before. The video included is actually pretty good and very entertaining. I highly recommend them.

As for multiplay there are also many exellent additions yet they lack popularity. While it's still fairly easy to find a game at the TS site the number of firestorm players is somewhat limited. Westwood came up with the neat idea of having a "tour for world domination". A site where you can take the gdi or nod and fight against the other side for the purpose of defending territory for your side or taking territory from the other side. For this purpose westwood sets up games yet you will find very few people to play them.

In short tiberian sun is a game that is still a great deal of fun with graphics and game play that are still up to date today. Firstorm is a worthy expansion pack but it's simply not worth the price when you can get the fire power package for the same cost.

I don't have the Firestorm Expansion but I do have the original game. If you think the computer is pathetic try level two instead of bein' a wuss. They Really put up a fight(usually). Or even better try it on the internet its a blast. Everybody on there is pretty good and you'll usually lose.

A game that does not disapoint!! [Posted on 2005-11-12]
If you are reading this review you probably loved Tiberium Sun and are thinking of getting the expansion pack.For an expansion pack this game does not dissapoint! If you can look past the game's advanced difficulty you will have a heck of a time.Though it can't compete with Red AlertII or Renegade,this is one of the best games Command and Conquer has to offer.I picked up this game about 3 or 4 years ago and I have not put it down!I would recomend this game to any fan of R.T.S's or if you like watching inocent civillians getting mutated and tibarium monsters wiping out entire cities on enoying "guard the city" levels.The new units are cool and all but they do little to make the game more interesting.But man! does the game have replay value! Just like Tiberium Sun,Firestorm has an infinite number of ways to complete the level, and sometimes its fun just to build the biggest base possible.I'm sure you will love this game!I got all my friends hooked on it and now they own almost all the Command and Conquer games!I hope you enjoy this game as much as I do.
