Command & Conquer: Renegade was probably the most average shooter ever created. It was fun, and it kept C&C fans happy with fanservice hat-tipping and gentle winks and NODs towards the established C&C universe. The graphics were colourful and functional, but rather sparse and jejune. The guns had no real meaty thwack to them and the machine gun had the recoil of a garden hose with the tap turned half-way, making you feel like you were killing people a SuperSoaker rather than a Weapon of Tremendous Death. There was no real driven storyline, and you A-to-B'd your way across large, uniform terrain, rescuing people you neither cared about nor knew why you needed rescuing them (scientists, apparently, for the reason that they are People Of Science). The NOD soldiers were a vast army of red-and-black clones, having no real differentiating characteristics.
Yet despite all these flaws, it's a passable game that holds your attention longer than millions of games before it. I enjoy myself when playing it, to the point where I would consider that I'm "having fun", but ultimately it's forgettable and bland and I wouldn't rush into a burning building to save the last copy on earth.
THEREFORE, I award this game the possibly-prestigious Golden Mehhhh award for the category of "Distinctly Average Game That I Once Played And It Was Alright, I Guess"
