This is not to pass judgment on the quality of the game, for those who want what it offers, C&C may be a fine game, but for those who like it, it will be hard to spread the game in real life since many gamers will never have heard of it, may well not be interested in the niche it offers, and are happy with what they already have, and it may be hard to find at local gaming stores.</blockquote>
