Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Game
Review: O.K first things first

Single player
The weak part of the game don't bother
A.I is stupid missions are either too easy or too hard there is no middle ground. Also I could find no way to skip the cutscenes which annoyed me to no end.

Multiplayer-The great part!!!
Nonstop action, you ever wanted to drive a tank? how bout a Nod Buggy? Its not just killing things that makes it fn it is also the time and effort EA took in designing the building. Weather you are playing as a vehicle buster or a medic there is always something for you to do. Take me for instance even though I always get my butt kicked I still have a good time.

My favorite thing to do is fly the hellicopter

Overall-Great for fans of halflife, rainbow6, Solider of Fortune and Delta Force. Come one come all, there is much fun to be had.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: C&C Generals
Review: Fun game, great FX effects, excellent balancing. It could do better with hotkeys.

Rating: 5 stars
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: 4 stars
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: 5 stars
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: 5 stars
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: 1 stars
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: 5 stars
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: 4 stars
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!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Is One Of My Top 3 Games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I bought this game a few months ago and I try to play it every night. I like how there is 3 different armys to choose from but I don't like the high requerments and there is GLA, China, and USA to choose from. With all the maps and online play, you will never have the same experence twice. I think anyone with the syestem requerments should buy this game.
