Summary: Great graphics, but AI hasn't improved...C&C in name only.
Review: If you are expecting a sequel to the Command & Conquer RTS games of the past you may be very dissapointed by this new C&C game.First, the "USA Campaign" is only seven missions! I'm done already and it seems like I just begun! Second, it's more "dumbed down" than ever before. The pretty computer voice lady tells you that supplies are out there, showes you where the enemy weapons of mass destruction are, etc. It looks like it's designed so that even the 8 year-old with sub-normal intelligence won't get his self-esteem damaged by having to think too much or get his butt kicked a few times. Third, there is no accompanying acted movie "cut scenes" in this game. No real reward for finishing a mission so you can see the cheesy but entertaining cut scenes in between. The "between mission drama scenes" were created mostly by recording the game action. So, between episodes you just watch the "non plot" unfold by watching someone else play the game, or so it seems. There are no special people, special missions, characters to like, or heroes to protect; just base building and enemy blasting. It's all for the eye, with little for the brain. It seems like the sole purpose of creating this game was to get people to play each-other on-line or over networks. The solo-play "you're in the movie" dimension is gone. What happened to this game; the greatest legacy in PC gaming history? Why did they do this? This game is like a pretty body without a mind or a soul. Below is my original review. This is a visually stunning game, and the "experience factor" is a refreshing new dimension in the C&C line of games. I have a very modern machine with a high end graphics card, but I don't have friends available to play against so I tend to play against the computer. Once I "learned the ropes", I found the user interface very fast and easy to use. Also, it's great to have many things going on at once. Many building being built at a time where ever I want, and multiple factories producing at the same time. So why isn't it possible to make the computer play a little smarter? Once I learned the interface and how the units work and are upgraded, the gameplay falls back into the same predictable, repetitive routine. If I figure out which route the computer will take to attack my base, I can assume it will attack the same way over and over for the rest of the game. So I build defenses around that area, mass my forces, and destroy the enemy base. Game over. If I destroy an enemy building, the same building is built in the same place, over and over. Would it be so difficult to introduce a little more randomness into the AI? If there are three roads to my base, how about randomly choosing which road to attack on? If an attack with 20 vehicles is wiped out, how about attacking with 30 the next time? How about attacking from several different directions at once? I can build multiple super-weapons. Why doesn't the computer think to do that? Yes, I'm playing on "brutal" mode, and the game is still easy. The computer may be "brutal", but it's brutal and stupid. In the C&C world, I think it's time for the computer's brain to catch up with it's looks.

Summary: HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Let's review: My friend has Yuri's Revenge, which is really fun, so I thought I'd get a C&C game too. When I heard about C&C Generals, I was so excited. I ran out to the store and bought the game for $...When I got home, I wanted to install it right away. Let me tell you, I have one of the newer computers, but this thing took FOREVER to install. Finally, when it did install, I felt like screaming. That's because I was watching the opening cinematics. It was running so incredibly slow, and the music was constantly skipping! Then I got to the main menu. Omygosh! Don't even get me started! The animation was beyond horrific. It was skipping and it was slow. When I tried moving the mouse, it took forever to move! And, once it did, it disappeared! Half the time I couldn't see the mouse!!!!! And then (get this), IT BOOTED ME OUT! It sent me a window saying, "Sorry, a serious error has occured." UGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! And guess what, I didn't get to play ONE STUPID UGLY REEKING SECOND of this stupid game. Don't waste your $$$.

Summary: GREAT game, lousy network support
Review: If you're a fan of any of the Command and Conquer games, this one is a no-brainer. It's both an evolutionary and revolutionary upgrade of this popular series, so any fan of Command and Conquer will be a fan here. The game offers some limited single player missions, but the real emphasis is on the online play. I remember back in the days of DOS how getting the game to play was half the challenge. The tradition continues with this the multiplayer side of this game. Sadly, the network play on Generals is crippled by a poorly conceived network engine. Even if you're able to get your router and connection properly configured, chances are other players haven't. The result? You'll be met with frequent frustration in actually getting into a multiplayer game. Given the massive proliferation in home routers, it's disapointing EA would overlook supporting them without having to do some tweaking. Thankfully the Generals messageboards have an extensive guide to setting up the game and your router. Once in, you'll have a blast. This is clearly one of the best games of the year, and the graphics are simply incredible provided your hardware is up to spec.

Summary: Eye opening.
Review: I'm sure this is a great game, but as I was trying to install it a loud voice said 'Warning: military software detected.' This worried me so much I packed it up and shipped it to the Pentagon. No word from them yet, so I assume it was top secret stuff if they don't want to mention it.

Summary: Too many bugs
Review: After 4 patches, I still can't play online, even though all my other online games work (including Blizzard's and even Westwood's previous ones). The EA message board is flaming with similar (and other) problems. Avoid this one. More details re problem: I can connect to the EA server, download patches, and see games. I can even join games. But the games never start. It seems the game has trouble with NAT and firewalls, but it is worse than that, as I can't connect even if I try a direct connection through my cable modem, or even if I use my dial-up modem!

Summary: what for a game :((
Review: Sorry, this was the worst game i played in the last time. In comparison with other titles Generals get the worst review of all. I am very disappointed about what they made out of this brand. The balancing is awful, America is every time the best choice. And people, what do say about great gfx? Are you blind? Just watch the water in the rivers. Just moving polygons. Not to mention about the missing story, strange mission goals and bad pathing. The best thing of the whole game are the remarks of the units. For this and the hope i got while playing that the game will be better by the missions i assign two stars.
I was a big fan and played every title. Not more. Just installed the good old red alert. Wouldn't buy it with this experience.

Summary: What happened to Westwood?
Review: I've been playing C&C games since the very first one. Even before that, Dune 2. Renegade and Generals both [stink]. C&C:Yuri's Revenge is one of my all time favorite games ever. WW is ruined. Give this game a 1 star to protest. We want the old WW back.

Summary: Wow, I didnt expect it to be this good!
Review: Let me start from the beginning. I am a huge strategy game fan. I have played dozens of strategy games before C&C Generals. Examples would be Myth I, II, III, Warcraft I, II, III, C&C series, Starcraft, and other games I no longer remember. Out of all the games that I have played, I would place Command and Conquer Generals among the top. I have to warn you however, it takes time to get into CCG. When I started the game I was very disappointed. You have to play Generals for a while to appreciate its complexity and intricacy. Overall, the biggest joy of this game comes from the multiplayer experience. Try playing someone as good as you and you will know what I mean. There is so much micromanagment and so many tactist that I can hardly break away from the action. Before playing C&C Generals I was hooked on Warcraft III. I played WIII almost everyday, but when I tried Generals I lost interest in WIII almost in a second. I recommend everyone who has C&C Generals to try and play online. It is one of the most exciting games to be played against human opponents.
