There are still servers out there, so you can find a game quite easily. I have played Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour with a friend of mine and it has been a great experience. It is a cool mode and one you can easily waste many hours with. Each one has something that makes them special as well as their own strengths and weaknesses. Each of the three factions has three generals and you get to pick one of them. Of course, the vast amount of choice also means that it is very easy to get things wrong!Īdded to this expansion was a cool mode all about generals. You have so much variety to the types of artillery you can wield in this game that it is almost daunting! You can use a sniper, a powerful jet, huge tanks and of course a ton of ground troops too! You can really develop some clever strategies with this game. It is the sheer might of the army you can build. What really makes it stand out though is not having your “workers” build something. So much so that many people actually say that it has more in common with a game like Warcraft than it does the previous Command & Conquer games. Your War Your Wayįor this game, many changes were made to how it played. Each faction gets around 7 missions each to play through so you get a nice amount of time to experience each one. You can play the campaign in any order you want, but if you want to really experience the story properly, you need to play it in the right order. If you like war and action movies then I am sure you will get a real kick out of the story that is told here. The campaign is actually really good and you get to experience the war from all three sides. Saying that, your troops are more coordinated than they appeared last time around so there are improvements. While the new strategies work well, the Al still makes some corking blunders units often get caught up crossing bridges, while enemy generals always seem to rely on the same routes to attack you time and time again.

Go up against US General Alexander - a specialist in base defence, whose inability to build tanks is offset by EMP missiles and cheaper Particle Cannons - and you've got yourself an interesting battle. For example, play as Chinese General Kwai - an expert in armoured warfare - and you can build tanks cheaply and earn powerful bonus abilities, his weakness being that he can't recruit artillery units and aircraft are expensive. Each general is an expert in a particular field, with bonuses and special units available depending on their skills. To bolster what would otherwise be a thin expansion, EA has introduced a new single-player mode called Challenge for all intents and purposes a homage to Street Fighter that has you, as your choice of general, taking on eight other generals one at a time as you attempt to become the mother of all battlefield commanders.
