Some mixed news for the Xbox 360 gamers reading today. CVG has learned that the Xbox 360 version of Command &Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath will not be getting the Global Conquest mode that comes with the PC version. Instead, gamers will get a different mode, called Kane’s Challenge, which will attempt to cater more to the tastes of console gamers in general.

Jim Vessella, associate producer for Kane’s Wrath, explained the reason for the switch-up:

When we were focus testing that feature for the Xbox version, we found that it wasn’t getting as good a response as it had on PC.

We found that it was a bit more niche type of gameplay, the turn-based gameplay wasn’t gelling as much with the 360 fan base.

Nor were the controls working as well as the precision with the mouse on that particular mode. So Global Conquest actually won’t be on the 360 version which is why we added in Kane’s Challenge mode which is more catering to 360 players.

The Kane’s Challenge mode in question features some new content exclusive to the console, taking the form of new online modes such as Capture the Flag and Siege and new game videos featuring Kane.

We’re not entirely sure what to expect from this expansion, seeing as Global Conquest mode was a nice addition to the PC version of the game. That said, we do hope the new content available in the 360 version of Kane’s Wrath makes up for it.
