A short few days after its N. American release, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is preparing for its European launch on May 11.

From the team at EA Los Angeles, creators of The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II for the Xbox 360, Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars boasts an intuitive console-specific control scheme, explosive action, deep single player campaign with rich storytelling, and an immersive multiplayer experience featuring exclusive new modes and support for the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera.

The Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars Xbox 360 demo shattered the EA record last month for the most downloaded demo in its first week and was one of the most played demos on Xbox LIVE according to Microsoft. The demo features two single player missions, a training mission, one multiplayer map, and one live action trailer.

The unparalleled, diverse cast includes Tricia Helfer, Josh Holloway, Michael Ironside, Jennifer Morrison, Billy Dee Williams, and Grace Park.

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars also features real-life news reporters assuming the roles they know best-anchors and field reporters bringing the world the latest news on the third Tiberium War.
