If you were to order all C&C games, except for C&C 4 (which was terrible), C&C Tiberian Sun would rank the lowest.

That's not to say that the game is bad but ... it's actually not that great either for multiple reasons.

For starters the game takes too long to unfold itself. You get only a handful of different units the first half a dozen missions and they're not even that fun to use. The maps & missions are also not that interesting and it all feels rather brown & boring.

Red Alert 2 pretty much took the basics of Tiberian Sun and made it properly fun. The units were far more engaging, the game more colourful, the missions more interesting, the maps more varied. Because of this, Tiberian Sun feels rather pointless. It's like a beta for RA2.

Luckily C&C 3 was a lot more like Red Alert 2 than Tiberian Sun and while Tiberian Sun may be worth a look, be aware that it's really not that great compared to C&C 1 or 3.
