Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour (PC)

Advantages: Great graphics and unit design. The new challenge mode
Disadvantages: Still suffers from slightly poor online connectivty and other issues.

...refer to My review of Command and Conquer Generals, there I stated that Generals was a flawed gem, a game capable of being the best strategy game of the year, period. However it was bogged down with technical problems and a somewhat bad single player option. Now heres where Zero hour comes into it because Zero hour is everything Generals should have been and much, much more. Firstly theres the much improved interface, there are now superweapon limit ...
...SYSTEM SPECS: To run Command and Conquer Generals:Zero Hour on full you will want at least a Pentium 2.0 ghz or amd equivilent 512 mb Ram and a Geforce ti 4600/fx5700 Ultra or Radeon equivilent. 2 gigs of hard disk space is also helpful.

Its got enough content to secure its ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic gameplay, the best CnC game so far
Disadvantages: Some poor balancing, uses the unreliable Gamespy server

...is a different sort of Command and Conquer. But it's still Command and Conquer. No matter what people tell you, "there's no MCV in it" or "omg no Kane!", it's still a Command and Conquer title. This is by far, the best CnC so far in the series. One can't understand why EA then took a step back with Command and Conquer 3. The new (for CnC) building and training system introduced in Generals helped turn the game into an incredibly strategical game. ...
...freedom to carry out so many different strategies. Many diehard CnC fans will disagree, but only on the grounds of, that this game isn't a true CnC game. As an expansion pack to Generals, which gives each main faction 3 quite unique subfactions, there are obvious balance problems that will arise. Unfortunately, because EA's community support record is rather poor, there are most likely no plans to patch it again. This is a pity, as many of the top ... Read review

Advantages: fun, great online, really good campaigns
Disadvantages: gets boring after awhile

Command and conqerors zero hour is the expansion to command and conquerors generals. It has the same basics. The original: This is an excellent strategy game with many different tanks and infantry. It takes awhile to get use to what the best ways of deafeting an opponent is. Although it is very satisfying to beat the brutal army. There are medals for things like 3 consecutive wins, 50 tanks built in one battle and 10 aircraft built in one battle ...
...you will start with your command centre and one either peasant or building dozer. You usually use this person to build a supply centre right next to the closest supply centre. Then the centre can collect supplie. Then it gets more fun as you build infantry, tanks and defences. Eventually you should have a massive city with great defence and a lot of men. Then you go and blow the hell out of the other side. To make full use of this game you should ... Read review

Advantages: Lots to do
Disadvantages: Slows down on lower spec machines

...to my expectations of a Command and Conquer game, and my expectations was high. I was running this game on an AMD 1ghz Athlon (also on a 800mhz p3) pc with 512mb Ram and a 64mb nvidia geForce 4 agp Graphics card. I know this is below the specs for the game but I really wanted this game and thats all I have. So, how did it run? I think my graphics card took up the slack a lot, and I had to run it on low graphical detail, but it ran fine when in ...
...I noticed some slow down in the cut scenes, but in my opinion thats not what you bought the game for is it? I love the way you can zoom in to your units to see them close up, but this isnt really practical for playing the game and really is just a gimmick that you may use once or twice when your mates come round. The levels are really well designed with some of my favorite positions for defence, those positions being bottle necks or pinch points ... Read review
