Summary: Fantastic Multiplayer
Review: I haven't spent much time on the single player campaign here, but multiplayer this game rocks!

It's best with at least 12 guys on a side, and better still with 20, but it's fun anyway you play it. Grab a flame tank with three friends and make a flame rush, try an invisible soldier and jump into an enemy vehicle when the driver gets out to reapir it, then run him over!

I was playing last night, a damaged Humvee was coming right at me, my Raveshaw got off one shot and destroyed the vehicle, and my second shot killed the driver.

Or play as GDI, grab a Havoc and snipe to your heart's content. Sniping allows you incredible zoom power, and as Havoc one shot and any infantry target is dead (some require headshots). Or hop into an MRLS and pound enemy buildings, or save up for a Mammoth tank and slug it out with the enemy.

The game rewards teamwork, and even players with poor First Person Shooter skills can contribute, I'm only decent, myself. Tons of fun, I have played a few hundred games. Well worth the money. Good solid servers, easy access to patches and servers.

Highly recommended.

Summary: Good Game
Review: If you like other C&C games, you'll love this one.

Summary: A game with very dodgy morals
Review: The fun thing about games is the escapism factor for me. Even games like 'Red Alert' were fun. Yes, you may think it's war-based, but it was always comical. Russians with mind-control devices, and humorous cut-scenes, made the games fun to play.

However, for 'Generals', they've tried to go serious. Gone are the cut scenes, and in are more down to earth (as it were) weapons.

The trouble is, in doing so, they've lost any moral structure that their games may have had.

Use car bombs to blow up troops, steal a nuclear weapon and watch as people die screaming when you launch it on their city. Or maybe you'd like to ransack some villages, killing the civilians for their money? If this sort of game appeals to you, then buy all means buy it. But for me I find it very distasteful.

Even as the "good guys", your vehicles run down civilians without any second thoughts.

On the whole it could have been a good game. Graphically it's nice, and it has some good new units. It get pretentious in the small scenes that start the levels... pausing and rotating to show off the explosion Matrix-style, before moving on.

The levels are far too easy, and some can be over in minutes. And there's very little variety in gameplay (build up, kill the easy enemy).

But gameplay issues aside, it's just the subject content I don't want. I don't want to launch anthrax weapons, or kill civilians. I don't want to see terrorist attacks. I play computer games to get away from the real world for a while, and this just doesn't provide that.

Summary: Shoudn't even be called a C&C game
Review: this is the first time I was diseapointed with a C&C game.
the only thing that even makes it anything like the other C&C games is the units(with diffrent names) and the fact it is called C&C generals,

the problems with it are, they took out the power bar, make you choose between your best tanks, infantry, and things like nuke strike. the infantry are as big as the tanks, all the units movie slow, the maps are small, money is harvested at 300 per load and the lowest infantry costs 300, the harvesters are really weak, and the buildings have to be built on the map and with a truck. you also are given tanks and other units right off the bat, instead of getting them gradually, the first mission with china I used a flame tank rush, second a standard tank rush, (this was after waiting 30 minutes to get enough money), also you can't change the speed of the game so you can't set it to fast so you can get money quicker you have to wait the whole time while the harvesters get the money really slowly. the game was also really slugish, it would keep pausing during a fight, and I had the graphics set to low, and my computer is a 1.5 GHz, with a 64 mb graphics card. all in all it was a [bad] game and the only game to date that I have ever bothered to go trade in.

Summary: COMMAND AND CONQUER AT ITS BEST!
Review: Command and Conquer: Generals is the best Command and Conquer game ever, hands down. The graphics are awesome, the music is great, and the sound effects are something else. When you blow up a GLA truck, you see the guy flying off and hear him scream until he hits the ground. That's just one of the subtle additions to this game that make it their best. When in doubt, BUY THIS GAME!

Summary: A twist on a good thing.
Review: C&C Generals when looked at as a whole is a good, solid, fun game. It is the first graphicaly pleasing C&C game, besides Renegade which really wasnt a RTS. It finally put new life into the C&C line that Tiberium Sun and Renegade didn't. The game play has a different feel, with in game cut scenes looking much like Warcraft III and Age of Mythology. Yet it still keeps its own style with some differences from the last C&C game. However, C&C Generals may have become a bigger title then it deserved from all the hype. Don't expect this to be a revolutionary type of game, it sticks to the basics that it has used for years, nothing extremely different or new. And to view it at its best you will need a good rig. Its a good RTS, like I said, solid, and if your a fan of the previous C&C games or if you like RTS styled games I would recomend it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mediocre at best
Review: I'm a big fan of the C&C series but Generals isn't the same game at all.

There is absolutely no storyline. Aside from a few scripted events here and there, you might as well be playing a Skirmish against the Artificial "Intelligence."

The pathing is terrible. Worst I've seen since the original Age of Empires. Units have a terrible tendency to move in single-file lines or get stuck on each other, especially in the very cramped maps. They will also just sit there getting shot at if the enemy is out of thier range.

Damage and rate of fire need to be adjusted across the board. If Iraq had mobile launchers that could fire Anthrax-loaded SCUDS every 5 seconds...

On the other hand, the graphics and music are great.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Unhappy
Review: To tell you the truth, I'm flat out dissappointed. With all the hype I've been hearing about this game and how excited I was leading up the game coming out to buy it and play it is just unbelievable what I saw. The graphics are poor, maybe a little better than previous Command and Conquers. And you need so many requirements on your pc to make the game run the way it should. Overall I'm highly highly disspointed. And as a matter of fact I've already sold the game to a buddy of mine. So do yourself a favor and borrow it from a friend and check it out before you go and blow 40 bucks on a game thats worth about 10.

Summary: Hardware
Review: This game does not work well with ATI Radeon cards. I have a 7200 64mg card along with more than enough to cover the specs and the game was choppy and slow. Come to find out its a programming bug, apparently the designers prefer nvidia.
What I was able to experience was not overly exciting anyway, save your money people!
