C&C GENERALS
Another sweet title from the boys & gals at EA.
If you've followed the series you'll admit this is the best addition yet. It's a huge improvement over it's predecessor Red Alert. The gameplay, graphics and functions have been upgraded beyond all belief. The civs are built tuff and each has it's own unique strengths and differences.

Rent it or buy it advisory :4stars:

Good things:
- many new units to command
- graphics and animations beefed up majorly
- nuclear weapon strikes
- smooth online and direct connect options
- middle eastern army
- suicide bombers/trucks, chemical weapons and snipers
- computer opponents
- awesome airstrikes, mines drops and air drops

Bad/rougher things:
- no navy or naval bases
- limited zoom
- laggy online when using firetanks (china)
- no airliner hijackings (GLA civ)

Overall a great online/single player game with high replay value. It's a title I hope to see on PS2 and Xbox.

this game is insane, I was drooling over the types of air strikes, I did a second take at the detail of game play, and then shat a brick at the fact you could send in suicide bombers running into anything...

one of the best games this year.

DJ-SNow is an unknown quantity at this point
Form and I have been running C&C Generals online and off and will have to say I agree in most on his review but some more BAd points after talking to over 100 people with all types of comps the lag problem is not the system but the game itself Even people with P4 3 GHZ 512 MBs ram Geforce 4 Ti 2600 are haveing major lagg problems. But if can deal with the glitches this game is still rocking. Especially the Mods that are coming out and the Maps.
