A strategy game, Command & Conquer Generals (Deluxe Edition) (PC Games) includes Command & Conquer Generals, and the expansion pack Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour. I purchased this game pack in order to play against my son, and was soon playing on line against other opponents as well. The expansion pack gives you the option to play as one of nine special abilities generals in three different factions, each with their own strengths and weaknesses that you can optimize to your advantage. Unlike role playing games, this strategy game requires that you manage resource collection, infrastructure build-up, and assembling a proper mix of forces even before the battles begin. Good to excellent depending on your own likes and dislikes of gaming genre. A keen way to mix it up with a competitive son, and not get physically bruised in the process (ego, on the other hand, may be a different story.)Read full review
Loved this game, then lost the disks while moving, picked them up for $13 or so delivered to Canada. At first though I ran into compatibility problems under Win7 x64 - the game after installation would just die. The solution proved to be updating the video driver, and following advice on http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/40036-command-conquer-generals-4.html#post983665 : ... In 'My Documents' (usually at C:\users\YOURNAME\documents) there should be a folder named 'Command and Conquer Generals Data' or 'Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data', which was put there when you installed the game. You need to create a text file using notepad and save it into this folder. However, you must click 'save as' and change the type drop-down box from text file (.txt) to 'all files'. Then save the file as 'options.ini' ... That's all. No changing mode to XP-compatibility was required.Read full review
In my opinion Generals is a must-have for even an average C&C fan. The depth and customization of this game far exceeds all other games in this great series. Having three armies each having there own strong and weak points means any style of player will find his niche and favorite style of battle. Only downfalls of this game is that there is no water warfare in this game which had been a kind of staple of the last few games. If your are really into the series skip buying this and save yourself some money and go ahead and get the Generals Deluxe pack, which comes with with the Zero Hour expansion pack which is also great and adds a lot to the play. But even if you only go with the standard it will be at minimum a solid month of play before you see it all if you play it hours a day.
Came a few days early!! I haven't played this game in years so excited... Thanks for the extra padding in the for the CD's
