Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: One of PC strategy gaming's most influential franchises comes scarily up to date, inviting the player to take command of technically advanced armies in a world that's teetering on the brink of war. Command & Conquer: Generals also successfully maintains the hybrid of strategy and battle that have made its ancestors so revered. The game presents three armies in need of command--the US, the Chinese and the Global Liberation. The game is subsequently broken down into 27 single-player missions. To throw in a further twist, you now command a general. As you progress, the general gets promoted and this opens up new technologies and tactics. The most obvious move forward is in the graphics, with the action more close-up and detailed than before. In some ways, it takes a leaf out of the book of the excellent Medieval: Total War, but Generals is a strong game in its own right. Made suitably accessible by a tutorial campaign, it's surprisingly simple to control yet presents numerous options to mull over in every situation. The missions are varied and challenging and the arsenal of weapons--from hardware such as a scud storm through to a simple kamikaze car driver--keeps the brain constantly ticking. Perhaps it doesn't stray too far from the tried and tested formula, choosing to do most of its building on the sturdy foundations set over the years. But there's little denying that this is polished, highly addictive and engrossing entertainment. And if you play it online, it could very easily eat your life away. --Simon Brew Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of the best.A really excellent experience-and one for the Command and Conquer hall of fame-in context perhaps not better than the older red alerts and command and conquers-but an improvement with the times and consistent with the quality we have come to expect. Firstly-the complaints about the game that I've heard: 1. If you have a problem with the graphics being too high-what are we supposed to lower the quality of the graphics just because they don't run on some peoples machines?-and if you had a 32mb graphics card when this was released then you're just pushing it-advance with the times. The graphics are excellent, 3d, exciting and explosive-see your jets home in on and destroy enemy positions with missiles or hundreds of tanks advance across ... Read More: Rating: - Another great title for the hugely successful C&C seriesAny fans of the C&C series will love this game. It has moved away from the other games more than any other in the past, but i believe all changes are improvements and add vastly to the playability of the game. It is easier to collect money, which sometimes became tedious in the other titles and it is possible to have multiple build queues and units construct buildings so you don't have to spend all your time protecting your construction yard . These are just a few of the great improvements featured in C&C Generals. There are 3 main factions: USA (who rely on technological and air superiority), China (man, and tank power really) and GLA (they rely on manoverbility and speed). All teams require different tatics to play with succesfully. This ... Read More: Rating: - GeneralsC&C: Generals is a very good game. Especially when compared to the previous titles from the C&C series. It is a massive expansion, though the only thing missing is any sort of Navy (which is conveniently placed on the expansion pack to waste your money) but with this expansion pack, it would just scrape a 5-STAR. Rating: - Quality real-time strategy set in a world too real for some.This is a monster of game which not only rips out a sizable chunk of your hard-drive space but also demands a beast of a 3D card. Good luck to those with a PC more than a year old then. Costs aside though, C&C Generals is a stunning game to look out. Wave goodbye to the static isometric views of the previous C&C games, C&C Generals has gone three-dimensional with beautifully detailed terrain, buildings, and explosion effects taken straight from a Hollywood movie. Sound effects are suitably realistic and the music of a convincingly militaristic style too. C&C Generals is definitely a new benchmark in technical achievement. And, mercifully, there is an excellent game here too. The plot resides around a modern battlefield with the ...
