A must have for Generals Fans.

Once you play Generals with this expansion you'll never play plain ol' gnerals again.

Extends playlife of Generals to infinity...

...that may be something of an exgaggeration, but this statement isn't: If you loved Generals and haven't played Zero Hour, you have cause for celebration. At the time of this writing, Zero Hour has been out roughly 1.5 years (games live in "dog years" compared to other media), and as far as Real Time Strategy Games go, I put this at, or very near the top of my list, ahead of most every contemporary RTS.

Why?

To many reasons to list, but basically because Zero Hour completely refreshes Generals. If you played Generals like me (a psycho, social-life-debilitating amount), you pretty much had the game down; you knew build order, offense, counters, etc. Zero Hour completely reshuffles the deck by introducing a whole host of brand new units, as well as the ability to play as a General of a certain skill set that gives him advantages (like air/ground/nuclear, etc).

Can you say "C130 Gunship", "Heavy Chinese attack Heli", "Suicide Motorcylist"...when my buddy sent in a huge plane that dropped a bunch of leaflets on my troops to urge them not to fight, I almost came apart with laughter. Good times.

In addition to the General abilities, new maps, and new units, the games graphics have noticably improved.

I couldn't recommend this higher. For RTS fans that haven't checked Zero Hour out yet, don't hesitate to buy this Expansion Pack, this game's got a lot of life in it yet.

Enjoy,

Great Game!

Command and Conquer Generals, Zero Hour

This game is the game of the century. In Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour expansion pack you can be three teams, USA, China and the Global Liberation Army (GLA). Play to build your base and your armies from soldiers, vehicles, tanks, and aircraft. If you have enough money than you are able to buy superweapons like the Particle cannon, Nuclear silo and the SCUD storm. You can also be nine generals who have advantages and disadvantages. You can play missions with a goal or just fight the other team. You can also play other players online in the multiplayer games.

What I don't like about the game is that some times it gets very difficult even if it's on easy. What I like about the game is that the challenges are fun to do and the generals with special abilities are cool. I think that the music is very nice for each team. The game has vehicles from real life like the Padalen tank, Raptor air plane and the SCUD launcher. I would suggest this game to many people and I would give this game a 9/10.
