The star of "Command & Conquer" is, and always has been, Kane.
The scenery-chewing leader of the Brotherhood of Nod is responsible
for a large part of the main series' campy appeal. "Command & Conquer
3: Tiberium Wars" tracked the execution of his plan to lure the alien
Scrin to Earth with a massive explosion of liquid Tiberium; "Kane's
Wrath" travels back many years before that cataclysmic event to show
how the self-styled prophet came again to power after apparent death,
and examines some events of "Tiberium Wars" from a different angle.
The plotline is entertaining enough while the series' fans wait for a
full sequel, but an expansion pack like this cannot live on plot
progression alone.
