Re: Command & Conquer on on the PSN ?

Can you use a usb mouse? I don't understand how C&C games work with a control pad. You constantly have to select men point and drag.

Angry Re: Command & Conquer on on the PSN ?

Whatever you do don't buy this game!

I just got it, it's rubbish

if you like C&C on the PC you'll hate this.

There's no mouse or even analogue support,
and it runs at what seems like double speed so it's way to fast to control

I just wasted my money, save yours.

Re: Command & Conquer on on the PSN ?

I got it, I didn't think it was that bad.
It is an old game though and this does show, but the original game play is still there once you can get round using the controller.
I've not seen any multi player options on it at all

The original PS version did have mouse support for the PS mouse I still have it, i'm guessing Sony hasn't changed that, the PS3 doesn't support it as the mouse is digital only and when you connect it to a PS2-PS3 adapter it has no way to configure itself for use, shame really as the game does play well with the mouse.

No there isn't a way i'm afraid, the game is as it was for the PS, it hasn't been changed in anyway and such the game would look for a system link for multiplayer which the PS3 doesn't support or use.

It's just a re-release of the old Playstation game so no it doesn't have online multiplayer. PS One games are always released as is without any additional features or enhancements.

And please try and do a search in future before starting a new unnecessary thread. Merging with existing thread.
