Command & Conquer Generals

Real time strategy is my favorite genre of game and there is no reason why it is not yours. This game allow you to be the general of one of the 3 armed forces namley- USA, China and GLA. The gameplay is good, very sophisticated control and many tactics can be used. However, the graphics is one thing I dislike about the game and I hope it will improve in the next game

While playing the Command & Conquer Generals PC game, when China Versus USA, build lots of Gatling tanks for anti air, and when you go to attack use them as escorts, and build lots of Gatling Cannons for base defense. USA has no anti air vehicles at all, so build 8 particle cannons and annihilate all their bulldozers, Command centers and airfields so they can't use aircraft to attack you and build for airfields. Oh, yes, you can also play multiplayer network and just vie against computers and set their skill level.

Command & Conquer Generals is a complete change to the entire history of Command & Conquer. But if you just look at it as Generals, and not C&C, its a good game in itself, but it couldn't shine Westwoods shoes. But just because its not a good Command and Conquer, doesn't mean its a bad game. Its fast pace, and requires more strategy, except when you just mass an armada of tanks or planes. Thus the next problem with generals. Massing tanks or planes is much more effective in it, and much more unrealistic. But its just a fun to play game all around.

Command & Conquer Generals is a very entertaining game. It allows you to play as 3 different countries and totally alienate the country that you hate. Wide variety of weapons and ways to make your enemy cry for mommy. Although the multiplayer action is great, the campaign missions leave some to be desired. The missions are rather pointless and always require you to build a base. Also, it's hard to get a multiplayer game going and its lack of cheats leaves you unfulfilled.

The game on a whole is excellent, it has the graphics to match the all other strategy games (warcraft etc). The idea of being part of 3 groups works well although i feel that the overall ability of the USA is far better than China or the GLA.

The units are realistic and it is good to see that the units that you are using in the game are actually being used in real life, this adds a realism to the game.

There are currently a limited amount of units, this is not usually a problem because fans of the game usually release mods that enhance the units, this does not happen very frequently with Generals.

overall the game is a fantastic addition to the C&C legacy.

The best strategy game ever made, surpasses all previous C&C games and is brilliant online.
