For many of us, this game takes us right back into our childhoods.
At its core, it's a really great strategy game that is " have fun first ", mind everything else later type of feel.

The graphics are surprisingly good for its time, the movement, the sound, everything.
It's just really good to play.
I've beaten all 3 campaigns on Brutal difficulty. The AI is lacking in some parts but the experience is worth it along with the challenge.
Each faction is distinct, GLA, China and USA, each having its own strengths and weaknesses that you'll deal with as you play.
Oh and the soundtrack really pumps up the gameplay! Especially the GLA one!

Worth every penny.

It pains me to leave a bad review for C&C Generals, because this was one of those games that I played over and over again after school during my childhood days. I recently purchased this to relive the nostalgia but it wasn't quite up to my expectations and here's why :

1. The game did not launch at all despite deleting the "dbghelp.dll file" Had to try other methods and finally got it to launch after around 2 hours of searching on YT and Reddit for fixes.
2. Does not support newer screens/resolutions (option.ini is a fix)
3. If you have a dual monitor setup with extended displays, the cursor would just go to your second screen if you are trying to navigate the map with your mouse
4. Constant FPS drops during cut scenes and gameplay
5. Random crashes (Only played singe-player and crashed several times during campaign)
6. If you are playing a mission in campaign and the game crash, unfortunately you will have to restart the whole campaign from the beginning

I had to refund the game because the negative key points that affect gameplay outweighed the nostalgia I was seeking. I feel like EA could have fixed these issues before releasing on steam in 2024, but that's just my opinion.

This brings a lot of issues you never had to deal with in the original , If you even get it running
