Rating: 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: 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.
Rating: Summary: C&C Generals Review: Fun game, great FX effects, excellent balancing. It could do better with hotkeys.
Rating: Summary: Thanks for the bundle Review: I was a little late getting this title so I did not have to plunk down $30 for the original and another $20 for the expansion. I got both of them (the bundle) for $10 at Target! Sometimes it pays to wait a while before getting a game. The game is great but I wish there was more diversity of countries (it's basically Allied and non-Allies). Love it overall and the expansion adds some new elements to the original.
Rating: Summary: A very good game Review: It a very interesting games, the missions are very nice, and the unites are diverse, but it is somhow slow, especially, if you run it on an old computer
Rating: Summary: The Best RTS Game Ever Review: This game takes the best of Blizzard based RTS (WarCraft, StarCraft) and the Command and Conquer series. I've always thought that C&C were better games because there were more possible strategies to choose from because of the diversity of units and how different each unit is. However, this game goes far and above the previous C&C RA2 and allows you to build away from buildings by taking your builder thingie anywhere, and there are many useful and interesting upgrades to buildings and units. The multiplayer is AMAZING. I think that Amazon's "Star" reviewer or whatever they call him is way off base. Granted, the AI is a little stupid, its much better than most RTS I've played. This is simply the best RTS around.
Rating: Summary: C.C. a great game for RTS gamers Review: Awsome, it was a lot of fun. I play for hours sadly and forget the time. It is so much fun the time breezes by.
Rating: Summary: Looks great, if I could only play it! Review: This looks like a great game, but alas I cannot bare to play it. I've tried it on 3 top of the line machines (well over the recommended requirements), and the gameplay still comes out slow & choppy. I'd think twice about buying this obviously buggy game.
Rating: Summary: BEST GAME EVER!!!!! Review: This is one of the best games ever! I have not played it but I am getting it very soon. I have read reviews, been to westood.com and looked at prices. For 40$ its cheap. It is the best part of the comand and conquer series. I love it. The only thing that is confusing is the expansion pack. There are new weapons like: tomahawk missles, avengers, chinook, comanchee and much more. Instead of the old soviets there is the GLA. No allies, just usa, and China. I think china is the best because they have overlord tanks. They also have a dragon tank, inferno cannon, gattling tank, troop crawler,and MIG's. The GLA has a few good units too. They include:combat cycle, battle bus, terrorists, rocket buggy, bomb truck, quad cannon, toxin tractor, and radar van. In conclusion this is just the best real-time strategy game ever! There's nothin' better!
Rating: Summary: I hope "Zero Hour" adds some difficutly Review: Like many reviewers, I've been a fan of C&C since the first title (loved all except Renegade). That being said, here's some major points of consideration for anyone who doesn't have this title yet and is considering buying it: 1) No FMV between missions This seems minor, but I was really looking forward to them. Sure, they were always somewhat campy, but I just enjoyed the cut-scenes. They never enhanced game play, but they did enhance the enjoyment of playing. 2) 3D graphics Westwood did a great job on this. Every review mentions it so we'll stop there. What most reviews also mention is the Herculean system you have to have to run this game at max detail w/o getting choppy! 3) Animated explosions This was really surprising! The first time I saw a technical explode and launch the gunner into the air (whilst screaming) was it - I really appreciated the detail that was taken to craft these. 4) Animated explosions pt II They get a little tiresome after the 100th time - every time with the same screaming sound... In fact, all the sounds get tiresome quickly. Does every unit have to say something everytime you click on (or direct) them? It's a little excessive. After a while you have to kill the effects and stick to the music. 4) Difficulty levels I made the mistake of playing USA first on "Hard", and walked through every mission. So I did China on "Brutal" - same thing. Then with GLA... now it gets difficult. Trust me: this is not the case of me being a great player, it's that the GLA (whom both sides war against) is just not equipped to deal with the US/China units. I suppose it's accurate in a real-world sense, but it'd really be better if they could bloody your nose a couple of times before you figured the strategy out! So, I've complained a lot and still gave 4 stars? You bet: Generals is visually awesome, explosions are top-notch, it's fun (at least the first time through), and it's a good way to burn a few hours of time. If you played the campaign and were less than satisfied, then LAN up w/ some friends and REALLY get the full impact! "Zero Hour" will add more units and fuel to the fire, and I look forward to buying it as well. Hope this helps in your decision!
