Command
& Conquer Generals: Zero Hour
While
I was impressed with C&C General’s whiz-bang graphics and kinetic
energy, I termed it as being “vanillafied” – a solid real-time
strategy game but without the magic of Red Alert 2’s over the top FMV
cutscenes and trademarked vertical command interface.
After stomping through all three campaigns of the original and
spending some time blowing up opponents on-line, I suppose it’s the
right time for an expansion. There’s
no mention of FMV clips but with some new single-player scenarios,
Generals Challenge, and new weapons, Generals fans have something to
look forward to the fall.
The
full and official details: It's
Zero Hour, and time to unleash the absolute latest in modern weapons
technology in a quest to become the world's most powerful General. In
Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour (working title), the first
expansion pack to Command & Conquer Generals, players will wage a
global war for control of the modern world and face the ultimate
challenge by squaring off against the world's most elite commanders.
Selecting from a variety of new units and an arsenal of new high-tech
weaponry, players will use whatever it takes to remove enemy Generals
from power. |

To
emerge victorious, even the most experienced C&C Generals' veteran
must discover new tactics and strategies to take full advantage of-and
learn to defend against-the world's most lethal weapons. With the
addition of new units, structures, and upgrades-plus enhanced controls,
Battle Honors, and a variety of new online features-Command &
Conquer Generals Zero Hour gives players the firepower they'll need for
global domination. With 15 new missions, players may be tasked to destroy the U.S. fleet in the Mediterranean, root out a splinter cell in Cairo, |
