Summary: Multiplayer and skirmish fun, but [not good for] single player
Review: I had big expectations for this game. The ads made it look like a revolution in graphics (It is over it's predecessor, but not over the competition), so when I started it up I immediately felt disappointed and started looking for everything wrong with it. I began playing one of the campaigns and beat it. It was okay, but I was still finding myself complaining about it a lot.

After being dissatisfied with the campaign I started playing skirmishes and then multiplayer (This is the real reason these games are made). I found that this was a balanced game with three unique teams to choose from. Every team has good units that can oppose any other team. There are a variety of ways to play the game. I find myself digging in at my base and saving money for the big weapons like the nuclear missle.

So after actively looking for everything wrong with this game I ended up addicted to it. Buy this game and team up with a friend against six brutal computer players. That is a challenge I haven't met' yet.

Summary: Hands down, the worst game in the C&C series.
Review: I've played every C&C game since the original, and this is by far the worst. Not being able to escape past the videos is annoying. The AI, which has generally been very good in C&C games is aweful. The single player campaigns are very short, and the overall game controls are poorly designed and implemented. Not worth the price...wait 6 months and buy it out of the bargain bin.

Summary: This game is lame
Review: ... This game is cheesy beyond description, and I don't like that in video games. This is the first Command and Conquer game I've owned .... and I did not find it fun at all. It wasn't funny, violent, or amazing like many say. On top of that, the graphics are some of the worst I've ever seen. ....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not only the best game in the word
Review: This game kicks major.... for lack of a better word BOOTY! The graphics are... sweet, and the gameplay is a revoulutionary eye-opener for the neo-gamer.

Summary: The next Tiberian Sun
Review: C&C Generals is a semi-fun game, but unfortunatley it is riddled with bugs, many game lock-ups, and crash-to-desktop problems detract from the quality of the game. If you were a fan of the previous Command and Conquer games, then this game is NOT for you. Much of the Command and Conquer feel of the game has been ripped out. The plays more like the flop-title "Real War." The graphics are interesting, but are very cartoon-ish. The game has a lot of potential, and we may see more interesting titles develop via expansion, or a sequel, but at this point, the game does not deserve the Command & Conquer title.

Summary: best ever
Review: Been playing c&c games since #1 and this is best ever.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good but not Great
Review: Generals is moderately entertaining but it feels like I'm missing something. Unfair or not, the game will be compared to Warcraft3, Age of Mythology and of course the previous incarnations of C&C.

I only dabbled in Warcraft and was never drawn in the way many have been but I loved RA2 and Yuri and also have been exceedingly pleased with AOM. So what's the difference here?

Well - AOM, while switching to 3D didn't drastically alter the mechanics of playing - but - the game play was enhanced. A great amount of depth and variety was added and they didn't simply rely on a new graphics engine to make it, what I humbly believe, is the best RTS available.

Now Yuri and RA2 were pure fun. Generals seems to take itself a bit too seriously and while it is nowhere near a realistic war sim, it leans more in that direction. I find Generals to feel harder to control and I have less of a sense of how the units interact and counter one another.

I've played most of the single player mainly because I've had trouble getting the multiplayer to work well so maybe I'll discover more in the game later on. But the bottom line is that while graphics are great to have, the gameplay is the thing. If that wasn't the case, then Civ3 wouldn't have a chance - and it is still as addictive as it ever was.

And - I've also experienced some choppiness while playing and my system meets or exceeds the recommended system. AMD XP1900 w/GeForce4 Ti200 and 512 DDR PC2700 RAM. I would expect the game to run completely smoothly, but that hasn't been the case - at least not all the time.

Summary: Extremely Disappointing/Barely Playable
Review: EA Games has taken just about everything that made the previous C&C strategy games so appealing and completely destroyed it. Westwood never took the game so seriously, as EA has done, apparently trying to cash in on gamer's patriotism post 9-11 and recent goings-on in the Middle East. I found the final terrorist single player mission offensive as the objective being to destroy New York City. Yes, it's just a game, but where is the humor? Red Alert 2 featured "B" Grade acting in high quality video cut-scenes and the completely over-the-top plotline throughout was fantastic and a very enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, EA decided to go the ultra-realistic route, creating a very "graphically intensive" title (mind you, the only reason this game requires such a heavy graphics card is for the rediculous idea of rendering the entire game in 3D). This game is monotonous, tedious, and un-fun to the extreme. I'm going back to Yuri's Revenge.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best....
Review: This is what computer games are all about - its fun, its addictive, it has endless replay...RA2 has become a world unto itself for good reason, there are a bunch of great sides to choose from, and they all have unique items to bring to the battle. The graphics are getting dated now - but they are sufficient - too fancy and you wind up with a train wreck like GENERALS...The online play is awsome (cept they need to work on keeping hackers OUT) and the add ons, map editors and downloads FANTASTIC...A MUST HAVE for strategy gamers who like it exiciting and challenging, but not so complicated you need a PHD and get bored after ten minutes like some other games (MOO3)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good start...but bad finish
Review: I purchased this game as I love playing the C&C games. I was impressed with the graphics, but the storyline falls completely short of mediocre. The amount of CPU power needed to play this game is demanding, so only get this if you have a really good machine (more than a 2.4ghz) and a great Video Card. Overall, the game is o.k.; I would wait for the price to drop before buying.
