Short Review
Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath is an expansion pack for C&C3 Tiberium Wars. It is considered by the hardcore fans to be a very nice addition to the C&C franchise.

The gameplay is almost identical to Tiberium Wars, but Kane's Wrath features a "Risk-like" gameplay mode called "Global Conquest", where players build and control their forces from a strategic, global level with the goal of either destroying all enemies or completing their side's alternate victory objective. Instead of the traditional Command & Conquer RTS gameplay, the mode uses a turn-based system where the player issues higher-level orders such as "build a base here" (to have the computer automatically build a base with preset structures) or "upgrade this base" (to have the computer automatically perform multiple structure upgrades on a base); the orders execute at the end of a turn and the other sides then get theirs. Combat in this mode occurs whenever two opposing forces collide on the world map; the battle can either be played traditionally (as a standard real-time C&C game) or be automatically resolved by the computer using the forces' relative strengths.

In addition to the Global Conquest mode, Kane's Wrath contains a Brotherhood of Nod campaign which spans 13 missions in length, spanning from the end of Tiberian Sun: Firestorm to Command & Conquer 3 and beyond. Broken into 3 linear sub-stories that tell Kane's story.

All in all, it's a satisfying game with a reasonable number of missions. The diversity and replayability is even higher than Tiberium Wars as you have the all new Global Conquest mode and two new subfactions for each of the three main factions.
