18 more missions for Tiberian Sun. The original game wasn't so thrilling that I wanted to spend the asking price for the expansion when it was released. So the way I've finally got around to getting it is by borrowing the budget edition from a friend's brother years after release. Talk about taking the cheaper route ...
Finally a manual for a Command & Conquer game featuring some more substantial background information! I've waited for so long to read a little more about Tiberium, its effects and so on, and was quite disappointed with the lack of information in the Tiberian Sun manual.
The missions are pretty good so far (finished GDI, two missions into NOD). The second mission of NOD has you replaying the same events as in a GDI mission from the opposite point of view in a really nice way. It's the most creative so far I think.
When you've played Red Alert 2 the pace of Tiberian Sun is just way too slow. It takes ages just to get another load of Tiberium harvested, and things cost enough to eat it up in no time at all.
In the end, I have some fun playing, but most of it is just satisfaction of beating the missions, and I don't regret for a second that I never bought it.

Now I'm done with the NOD campaign as well, and my above opinions are still fully valid. Red Alert 2 or Warcraft III are just so much better and more entertaining games.
