Summary: It was very disappointing
Review: I thought it would be better then it turn out to be. It had terrible graphics. The movies were interesting, but the game was lame. I urge you NOT to buy this game.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Good game...but...
Review: Ok, to start this review I just wish to say one thing, the graphics in this game are amazing. I have seen several reviews saying the game is a serious resource hog on some very high end machines, however I am running an AMD Athlon 900Mhz machine with an ATI Radeon 9600 pro 256 MB graphics card. Not to mention the fact that I only have 256 MB of Ram. I'm experiencing no slow downs at all. I thnk the game might have a bit of a problem with the GeForce chipset but I haven't checked in to that yet.

Next, they did a very good job on the gameplay end, aside from a few pathfinding errors, but that's why developed the waypoint system. They did a good job of balancing the U.S. and China, but the GLA does not live up to the standards i would have expected, the units are weaker in offense and defence. I would imagine that's do to my lack of experience.

Summary: wow
Review: this is a great game, you do need a very fast computer though, it is worth it. in the game if you like using lots of hi teck aircraft stuff, be the USA. if you like fire and lots of powerful units and nucular wepons be China. If you like stelth power ups and being evil be the GLA.skermishing is very cool. don't pay attention to other people it is very cool

Summary: Amazing graphics - Great gameplay ...
Review: Here we go again - another chapter in the Command & Conquer saga, and a good one at that. With C&C Generals they've taken even further. The gameplay is pretty much the same as before (which is a good thing), although slightly improved, the story is good and catchy, and the graphics are absolutely amazing!!!

The game has 3 factions - USA, China and the Global Liberation Army (GLA), which all have very different but nicely balanced capabilities and specialties. Every faction has different "General" abilities, such as carpet bombing, paradrop etc.

The game has 3 single-player campaigns - one per faction. Each faction have certain advantages: USA has High Tech and Air Force, China is mainly about massing great numbers of units, GLA does not need to create powerplants, they have underground tunnels, and they can use chemical weapons. As usual in C&C, each faction also has their own distinct superweapon.

PROS:
* Superb graphics - Best I've seen in any RTS.
* Great multiplayer gameplay - The factions are nicely balanced, and large battles with 3x3 or 4x4 teamplay will have you hooked for months. Good ranking system that makes it so much more addictive to play online. It's also free to play online.
* Exciting single-player campaigns with very nice cut-scenes.
* Excellent music. Completely matches the gameplay.

CONS:
* 3 levels of difficulty where Easy is way too easy, Normal is also too easy, and Hard is way too hard. Normal should've been a bit harder to balance it all out.
* Does not have naval units. This is the only thing I'm really missing - Red Alert 2 was way better in that aspect.
* Extreme graphics requirements. Runs smooth on my P4 1.8GHz with a 512MB of RAM and a GeForce 4 Ti4200 (128MB).
* Not possible to skip the "cut-scenes" at the start of every new mission.

All in all, I would highly recommend this game, whether you're a C&C buff, or if you've never played C&C before. It's worth the money! 5 STARS!!!

Summary: Rocks!
Review: Command & Conquer Generals "rocks!" The sound, story line, and special effects are awesome. If you like to kick terrorist ass "buy the game asap!" Generals is worth every dollar. Make sure your video card is at least 64 MB. I have a ATI Radeon 9000 64 MB. By the way! This game is not racist!!!! If you think the terrorists in this game are some sort of freedom fighters "YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. GET SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP!" Bush/Cheney 2004

Summary: Another hit!
Review: I have been a fan of Command and Conquer since the beginning. And I look forward to every game they bring out. This is by far the best looking game in the series. You can zoom in on the veicles and buildings and the detail come in view without being fuzzy. I run this game with everything set on high and runs very good (I have Pentium III 1000, with 256 ram and a 64 meg video card). I was a little dissappointed when I first started playing the first set of missions China) as it seemed too easy and they were almost all short missions (except the lsat couple), but as you moved on to the the other 2 factions, it kept getting harder and harder and I started liking this game more and more. A couple of things I don't like is playing skirmish mode. When playing a skirmish, it seems the balance is off in favor of China. You can build bunkers (that will hold 5 guys, I like putting rocket launchers in them) and machine gun turrets) if I get those built quickly, the defense is too strong to get through, but the GLA and USA don't have those type of defenses and it's not easy (depending on the difficulty level you choose). And the difficulty level is touchy. If you play normal, it seems pretty easy ( I was winning with China playing against 5 computer opponents and only losing less than 10 units every game). But if you move up to Hard, and play against more than computer opponent, you get mowed over (unless you are playing as China). A little bit of balance issue I think, but this is still a very fun game. I you want more of a challenge, you can also go on-line, though you have to wait for a while sometimes for games to end so you can join. It is still a worthy effort, but I miss old but scenes they used to have. Any fan of this series will definteley enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CAN I HAVE SOME SHOES!?
Review: I recommend this RTS game to anyone who would like a very good strategy game. The ability to play different sides that all have special weapons and units. Chinese have powerful tanks and nuclear weapons. USA has airforce power. GLA focus on stealth, explosives and biological. The GLA is a group of people that are considered Terrorists, they do NOT have a country to defend they are a global liberation, they think everyone should follow a certain living path. They also have some of the funniest comments

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad coding, bad Idea
Review: I saw this game at my friend's, the first thing that offended me was the war against Islam and being so racist calling people defending their country terrorists (but that's up to what Westwood think right?).

My friend has a very high end machine (P4 2.4, 512DDR Ram, 64Mb ATI VGA, etc.) and it could play the most demanding games like WCIII or the poorly coded GTA3 and the awesome Vice City.

This game totally sucked at his machine, GTA3 was way better (I think GTA3 didn't work fine on low end machines cause it was originally coded for PSX, but Rockstar games did an awesome job on Vice City).

Well, if you own a super computer with a high end (128+) VGA card, and you're not offended by the racism and wrong political views of the game then buy it.
Otherwise, I recommend that you find another RTS game..

I'm sure not waiting for any other RTS games from WestWood studios, I guess RA2 will be the last game I got from them.
