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.

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!

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!

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.

Summary: Your computer needs a Generals ability to play this!!!!
Review: Woo hoo!!! I originally bought this game and played on my P4 - 1.6Ghz, 512 MB Ram, 32 MB Video Memory and was quite disappointed. The game was quite slow and I had to go to the lowest graphical settings to be able to get the game to bearable playing standards. Then I went out and bought a ATI Radeon 9200 128MB video card. It was like I bought a whole new machine. I can feel my eyes getting fatter with all the eye candy. And I was able to go to all high resolutions.
The game itself is fairly decent fair (if you've played one C&C, you've played them all). Of course, besides the graphics, there are some other differences to this game with other C&C titles. But I think with any of them, the multiplayer is where having different titles makes to break the monotony of playing the same game over and over again. Just compare watching the nuke between Red Alert 2 and Generals. WOW!!!!

Summary: Con on a Classic
Review: First I bought the game (it's command and conquer generals!).The only thing that it has is the build boxes and maps the same. My 100$ video card could not handle it so I went out and spent 400$ on the top of the line video card. I started playing it and there are no movie scenes with actors that people know and like. So I have to sit through a senerio boot up for 3-5min staring at my computer screen. Next time I'll wait until it's under priced and see it on my friends computer.

Summary: Best Bang for the Buck
Review: This is an excellent game. Networking and Solo play are great. Bottom line is you need a good Video card 4X agp is good 8x agp would be better. This game will feed off everything you got. If you got the right stuff i recommend it.

Summary: Graphics don't make the game, but in this case, they do.
Review: This game is one of the best games I've had the luck to play. But when I first got the game, my computer could run it all on low graphics, without too much loss in the gameplay department,
but after awhile, the graphics started getting deppressingly sad: if you can't even enjoy nucular explosions then whats the point? So I just stopped playing altogether because the graphics made me blue. One summer later, I downloaded an NVidia chip upgrade for my machine, and now the game looks great!
The great graphics add SO dang much to this game it's amazing!
Just playing with the 3D shadows turned on adds an extra 300 degrees to the game. Only buy this game if you're computer is a good 5 times better then the minimum system requirements. My PC is only six months old and I have to play at an 800x600x16 resolution.
But at least I get to enjoy the shadows.

Summary: bad tech support
Review: while the game it self is enjoyable, if you can play it, the game is plague with bugs, and saddled with ea horriable tech support. They released a patch that was supose to fix probelms with the fx geforce, delayed the patch for two weeks for testing and QA/QA Testing, yet some how over half the items that were supose to be fixed in the patch, including the geforce fx fix were not fixed. I open a ticket with ea after the patch. Before contacting them i had uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and stated so in my ticket, however not only can ea word not be trusted, it appears tech support can not read, cause they had me uninstall the game again, dispite me stating that this had just been done, before contacting them. When the probelm could not be solved after the second uninstall, they told me I was infored that it appears there are still probelms with this graphics cards series, despite the fact that they claimed to fix, and they let me know if they ever fixed. Of course i had come to the conclustion before contacting them. so if we want a buggy, no support game, go ahead and buy it.
