Summary: Great Game, But Low-End PC Owners Beware
Review: This game is a worthy addition to the command and conquer family. The main highlight is the fact that you can actually play as real life nations. Instead of the GDI and the NOD terrorists, you play as the US, China, and the Global Liberation Army (the terrorists). There are lots of new units and structures, and the graphics are better then any C+C game to date. The only problem with this game is that in my opinion you need an awesome PC to run it to its full potential. I have an AMD 2700+, 512MB PC-3500 RAM, and an ATI 9700 Pro graphics card, and the scrolling still tends to get choppy once your base gets significantly large. Overall, this game's concepts are great, and is worth getting if you have a P4 2.2Ghz or AMD 2600+ or better.

Summary: The worst C&C release ever
Review: Once again EA has produce a game that lots of people will buy because of the brand but the game play is absolutely appalling. The only thing that is good about the entire thing is the 3D graphics which everyone agrees but only work with the most powerful machines.

The AI of the units are bad - they never responds themselves when attacked, the story line is bad - China didn't invade the US, the movies in between the levels are gone - no more US President fleeing to Canada jokes, the sexy secretaries are also missing - No more real life Tanya either, the music is also extremely bad - it's too soft, this should be the background music for SimCity... NOT C&C.

The passion for C&C is noticeably missing from the programmer. The entire package is rough round the edges. I still remember in the previous releases of C&C we have a person devoted to build the installation program so that it takes you directly to the C&C experience once you have put the disc into the drive... This is no more.

To build any building, it's now required to use workers or its equivalent and click on a spot to build it. The old C&C build mechanism is gone and the more complex and annoying building method that is stolen from Warcraft and Ages of Empire is used instead.

All this add up to slow games as people build and build and build rather than concentrate on the more interesting and innovative part which is the fighting!

I would love to see EA being brought down and some real innovative / committed game company to succeed.

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.

Rating: 2 stars
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.
