• More Multiplayer Mayhem - Wreak havoc online cooperatively with eight of your friends, or battle head-to-head for global domination against a multitude of players.

Short Review
Generals is the first installment in the third universe in the C&C franchise and it is also the first Command & Conquer Real-time strategy game to feature a full three dimensional world. The game allows for the camera to be turned around 360 degrees and zoomed in and out.

However, the game does not have any full motion videos and the game is in general very different from the previous C&C games. The campaign legth is okay, but nothing special.

There's a lot of upgrades that can be purchased, and many of the GLA faction's vehicles can be upgraded using the wrecks of destroyed vehicles. Some infantry consists of a squad, while others are single based.

The balance in the game is extremely good. It is probably the most balanced C&C game ever (when patched).
