Voodoo Extreme has posted a review on Westwood Studios' newly released first person shooter, Command & Conquer: Renegade. If your thinking of picking this title up, you might want to check out this review first. The game walks away with a measly 55%. Snip:

As for the single-player blunders, I'm sorry to say that there are plenty of those, too. The AI is about…wait…did I just call it artificial intelligence?! What I meant to say was artificial silliness just cracked me up on a couple of occasions, as I've witnessed NOD soldiers walk towards me with their backs turned, while I just kept filling their butts full of chain gun lead. But it gets worse; sometimes, they would just stand there and look me straight in the eye. So I take out my sniper, zoom at the left corner of their eye, and WHAM! Artificial silliness exits stage left. The developers tried to cheat by boosting the unit accuracy, as these NOD guys can hit a moving sparrow from a mile away, but that didn't really help the AI earn that "I".

Also, hit Tuplay for a review on the multiplayer portion of the game. They seem to dig it.
