R u bored of the war games u have right now? So get this Generals, even though u need a fast computer, still a good offer. If u try China have strong tank, but slow money. While the Usa comes along with missile blocking techology, also very fast money. Thy Gla doesn't need power, get a little money. (1st Generals game).

As they go on new techology comes new and improved armys. Like the each armys has a general three 4: China, Usa, and Gla. Now comes with new upgrades, units, and strutures.Install right away. If u want 2 know the new units, strutures, and upgrades, don't ask me. Buy it!!!

This Game is sooo bad. The movement speed of infantry is the speed of a snail crossing over russia! The US troops look like they either have blue skin or they are wearing VERY tite clothes. Ahhhhhhh! The game has a glith and it built a plumber and not a GLA freedom fighter. Oh no it's the same for their pickup's with the machine guns on the back. The rocket dudes take like ten thousand hits to destroy a tank. Oh and the tank fires it's cannon at the infantry (takes about five minutes to kill one like this) Why dosen't the tank fire a machine gun? Oh yeah look at the size of the chinese nukes, can;t they even destroy the enemy command centre? And why is the rocket buggy so small? Smaller than those pickups and the "plumbers". Why do the civilian buildings have more life than military buildings! Oh and the civilian cars are quite small smaller than the civilians themselves! And how can a flash bang grenade kill someone, shouldn't it just parlyze them. Oh yeah a jet fighter can't even destroy one lousy GLA tank! I get promoted and choose these pathfinders/snipers they kill in one hit have a rappid fire rate and are invisble, cool! THe enemy now has these ahhhhhh my infantry are all dying and I haven't a clue of where the enemys are! Everything about the game is wrong but for tank vs tank and sometimes person vs person. And there is this one AK47 upgrade for the angry mobs they are not AK's there Uzis. And since when did terrorists use uzis. And the ccuds, a missle the size of a FedEx truck can't destroy a building and sometimes can't even desroy a tank. THen when you fire the missle another suddenly appears in it's place! Why not go back to some supply place in your base to get another missle. There is wvwn a limited amount of supplys and even lasers can't kill a person. People are like the terminaters that can only be killed by another person or get run over, while on the other hand they can only kill other people. And when you destroy a building it just shatters into a couple of shards hardly enough to even rebuild one twentyith of the structure. OK enough critisism time for good things.

No soldiers running around like swearing phyco maniacs like on WarCraft III. People don't always fall into the same death pose every time like every time the soldier falls on his back with arms extended (only exception GLA pickups and rocket buggys). You have lots of cool upgrades and abilitys and amazing vehicle and envirornmental graphics. The civilian buildings are strangly more realistic than the military. You can run over smaller vehicles with the bigger ones. THe GLA have this cool scrap and salvage ability for their vihicles where you can pickup the remains of a destroyed vehicle to upgrade your own to better weapons, veterancy or give you money.

Over all this game is not so good but not at all offenceive so a ten year old can play. (some of these ESRB ratigs are wrong like in Dawn of War)

The campaign has about seven missions for each team. And in skirmish mode you can earn these medals for things like beating all the maps in hard/normal/easy. You can gain promotions for killing more units to unlock new abilitys and units.

You will love this game at first then you will get sooooo bored (replay ability is too good so you play too much the first day and can't play anymore cause you did everything on the second so you uninstall the game)

I'm the same person who wrote the previous reveiw on the plumbers.

THe Game?

Hmmmm need a fast computer

This is a really good game online and off but you need to have a really good computer.
I have an Amd Athlon XP 2100+ with a g-force fx5200 ultra and 256 mb ram..
And guess what?!?!
It still lags a lot
With China it has the best tanks in the world but slow gathering.
The USA army is good but not really powerful... the Air Force General is not that good either.
Once you get this game i suggest you get the usa: laser general, but hey that's my opinion.
The GLA are good at gathering supplies but the are weak in small numbers. Any way you count this this is a solid game...
Oh and one last thing the stuff i was talking about like the generals that's all in Zero Hour which is still a solid game.

greatest war simulation of all the times

this is the greatest war game/simulation
as much as i like first person shooter game i loved this game too because i got to be the "general" and instead of having just a sniper rifle or rocket launcher i can have all US army resourses. however it's not just enaugh have all resources. You need to have right strategy to win. Some missions time limiting: like "there is a nuclear strike" or "SCUD storm" . the game looks easy on the first sight but you gotta do a lot of "gold digging" to buy stuff and expand your army, but game has no cheat codes, however you can modify INI.big file and all resourses will be free or whateva price u change it to.
ONLY NEGATIVE thing is that there are only 7 missions, and after editing the INI file when i got all for free it was really easy to beat the game ;-) but the game has world builder so YOU can make ur own maps . thats what i am doin now

Great Gameplay but Extremely Buggy

The game itself is one of the most fun RTS's I have ever played. It's not extremely imbalanced and the graphics are very pleasing to the eye.

The reason I gave the overall game 1 star is becuase of the poor technical quality. The minimum system requirements are an 800 MHz processor, 128 MB of RAM, and a 32 MB video card (GeForce 2 or higher).

I have a 2.4 GHz processor, 1024 MB of RAM, and a 256 MB GeForce FX 5500. Should be able to run the game smoothly, but even on lowest settings and resolution I get extremely poor framerates and occasional crashes to desktop. Usually 5-10 minutes into a game the fps drops to 5-10 and it's impossible to play. EA has stopped supporting this game so there are no patches to fix this issue that a lot of people seem to be having. Do not buy this game, even if your computer should be able to handle it.

Brought it long time ago...

Bad:
-When's the actor and actress? I like original CNC, RA and RA2 coz they find real people to play dramma in the game.
-The game is so addictive.... I've been gaining couple pounds since this game is on the markets.

Same ol' same ol'

Westwood's Red Alert was a lot of fun back in the day. I was hoping that Generals would be equally as fun for its time. However, with no fmv to reward me for my accomplishments, this game falls short. There is really no incentive to buy this game over anything made in the 90's, except slightly better graphics.

The AI is gross as well. Having a group of tanks move in to take out a bunker is like pulling teeth. If there is a small obstical in the way, they won't move around it, and one guy will try to go in while the rest decide it's not possible.

It's one of the many games that feels like EA just shoved out the door as quick as they could to make a quick buck.

Lots of fun when playing against friends

The best way to play this game is to either play Multiplayer or to play skirmishes. That is not to say that the single player game isn't fun but I don't find it any near as much so.

The single player games is also filled with long videos that you can't skip over. You can push whatever you want over and over but you're stuck for minutes and then a new one starts with the next scenario.

When playing multiplayer or skirmishes you can play solo or as teams and play either against computer bots ranging from easy to hard or against the other people in the game. You have a choice of about 12 different armies in Zero Hour plus there are tons of mods available on the internet is you want to shake things up.

Totally Addicting

The game was bought for my teenage sons so they could link up on our pcs and play each other. They had so much fun doing it My husband and I had them teach us how to play and now we have all out family wars...but nobody gets hurt! LOL Its a great game..very time consuming but very fun. It really makes you use your brain too. Lots of strategies and very graphical.
