Lacks the Charisma of Tiberium series and the grip of Red Alert series. Just another average RTS
User Rating: 7.5 | Command & Conquer: Generals PC
Generals is ambitious. It uses high end graphics but with a very lame gameplay and storyline, it ends up in deep soup. Three playable sides - USA, China and Global Liberation Army (Terrorist) or the GLA. Each of them have their own powers and abilities and the campaign mainly focuses on the war between GLA and the others. It uses a gameplay similar to the other series. Now the other series were occurring in fictitious universes but they seemed quite likable. Generals on the other hand addresses a more plausible issue with the same tone as with handling the fantasy ridden storyline of the other series. This major blunder on the part of EA makes the game distasteful which otherwise could have outshone the other series. The game uses an Urban warfare scenario, but unlike Red Alert (which also uses an Urban Warfare scenario) there are Civilians running about everywhere.
The graphics of the game is similar to Red Alert 2 or any other C&C game, only with a 3d touch. That, if you play the game you will understand, makes it absolutely worthless graphics.
The General verdict is that it is good buy if you are a real RTS fan and don't mind a few bumps while playing it.
