military and historical

I picked up C&C Generals Deluxe on a whim, and was not disappointed. Real-Time Strategy has to remain fresh and engaging to be worth playing, and you have tons of options in this game.

First, you can play as one of three forces -- the U.S., China, or the "GLA" -- a terrorist group. Each of the three forces has unique skills, abilities, and weapons. With the Deluxe edition, you have two mission tracks for each of the three forces, so you have plenty of missions to play. Additionally, the skirmishes are incredible, you can edit your own maps, and online play is great.

I'm still partial to Total Annihilation as the best RTS game ever made, and I don't think C&C quite measures up, since it has fewer options (for example, only four aircraft types as the U.S., two as China, and zero as the GLA) than TA. However, this is still a very solid game, and I've spent many hours playing this title. This is highly recommended.

This is one of the best RTS out there. Battle for Middle-earth from the same developers will beat it, but for now it is the best. I rarely play this game singleplayer now, but it is fun and if youdon't have an internet or LAN it is still worth buying because the computer is really good. When palying against friends thats when the havoc unleashes. There is nothing more fun than to appear in your friend's base with a huge group of upgraded Overlords (best tank in the game with radiation spreading shells) and blasting the his base or hacking into his superweapon just a few seconds before it fires. It is a great game that anybody will like. I've been playing ever since it was released at my friend's house and than I bought this Deluxe Edition a while ago. The datadisk adds a lot of new weapons and vehicles that are perfect for every side in the game. There are three sides in the game: USA (the technical one), China (heavy machinery), GLA (Global Liberation Army - terrorists). They are all unique but I prefer GLA most in the game because they have no power source so your opponent can't take out your power plants and completely destroy you with one attack. The Datadisk gives them motorbike riders which are great for wuick attacks and the ability to have tanks invisible. This is a great game that u should buy if you're looking for great RTS gameplay. There is only one problem. Requirements. The engine has to produce lots of units at a time and that drains your memory. I would recommend to have about 1.5 - 2 GHz of processor power, a graphics card as good (or better) as Radeon 9100 or maybe GeForce FX5200 ULTRA. I played it on Radeon 9000 and GeForceFX5600 and it wnet fine but you MUST, I repeat MUST have a RAM of 512Mb. Otherwise you will get a lot of lag. Buy this game, it is great!!!!!!!!!

I was reluctant to purchase this game at first, however, then I heard very good things, and read excellent reviews. So, I decided to go under the knife and buy this product. I installed it on my computer perfectly, and played for hours. If you are the kind of person who likes bombing the enemy's base with Nuclear Bombs, and SCUD missiles, this game is for you! You can play online with up to 7 other people. You can choose from three teams - USA, China, and GLA (terrorists). All 3 are pretty equal in power and all equally fun to play as. I highly recommend this game! Just to clarify, this is NOT a game where you are a ground troop shooting up the enemy.
