Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour
(hx) 09:41 AM CET - Oct,28 2003

I really enjoyed the original Command & Conquer Generals (review 88%) and expected improvements for the first expansion. Now I must admit, I was not let down. The addition of certain weapons and tactics made this Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour even more enjoyable. So what the expansion includes?

Zero Hour features 15 new single player missions (five for each side - US, GLA and China). The GLA missions, one of which involves island hopping and eventually the sinking of a US aircraft carrier, in another you will take on Prince Kassad and reunify the GLA in Cairo. In USA missions you will fight against Thrax and his arsenal of chemical weapons as well as protect a large oilfield in Iran, while the Chinese come into Europe and want to be the next world power. There's no doubt the designers really did a great job.

Each side has several new units, upgrades and structures that will allow for new strategies. On the GLA side, the new units and structures include Combat Bikes (these incredibly fast-moving bikes are reminiscent of the Nod Bikes from the original C&C), Battle Bus (mobile bunker, allowing infantry to be carried inside), the Chinese side has Helix 2 (massive assault helicopter), Banshee (vehicle which is similar to the U.S. microwave tank except that it specifically goes after infantry or vehicles), Hackers Internet Center (up to eight hackers can hack money, hack into the satellite system). And finally, the U.S. side features Fire base (provides a howitzer for base defense), Avenger (vehicle that focuses a beam on a target and allows surrounding tanks and vehicles to double their fire rate), Microwave Tank (fires a beam that will power structures down), Hellfire Drone (similar to the battle drone produced for vehicles, except it is much better against tanks) and Sentry Drone (camouflage units used for scouting). Overall, the new units are perfectly balanced. Each side has been given new units and structures to help turn the tide of the game. The United States finally has some decent base defenses against approaching ranks of infantry, the GLA have even more stealth abilities that make sneak attacks and sabotages more deadly and all GLA structures can now be cloaked, making them tougher to destroy and Chinese benefit from more anti-personnel attacks and defenses.

The expansion also features all new Generals Challenge mode which allows you to choose from nine AI generals (three generals for each army) from across the globe, each with their own strengths, strategies and tactics. The ability to pick different generals is awesome. While each general has access to certain unique weapons, they also in most cases have restrictions on some vehicles, including the arsenal they can choose from and how much each vehicle costs. For example, GLA commander Dr. Thrax specializes in battle with a deadly toxin arsenal, the US General Malcolm "Ace" Granger specializes in aircrafts, US General Townes specializes in lasers and gets bonuses such as lower costs for Particle Cannons, Chinese General Tsing Shi Tao has a power-packed nuclear army and automatically gets nuclear improvements for his tanks, aircraft and artillery, and Prince Kassad is all about camouflage and is mostly invisible all the time. I've found that using different generals can drastically change gameplay and a lot of replayability to the game.

All the elements from the original are present in the expansion, and the gameplay has technically improved. They have made a bunch of UI tweaks, now there's an option to use the right mouse button for issuing orders and a double-click can be used to set your units to automatically enter guard mode. Also I'd say Zero Hour definitely seems to have a much stronger focus on the multiplay aspect, which really is well done. You can pick one of 9 different Generals to play in skirmishes and online play, so be prepared to spend endless days wasting your friends over the LAN. Overall, Zero Hour is a worthy expansion pack to a truly excellent game, so if you loved the original, you will love the expansion too. I highly recommend picking this up if you're a C&C Generals nut.

System requirements:
Minimum: CPU 800 MHz Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor, 128 MB RAM, CD/DVD-Rom Speed: 8x, 1.4GB free HDD space, Video: 32 MB AGP, DirectX 8.1 compatible PCI 16-bit sound card
Recommended: CPU 1.8 GHz or faster Intel Pentium IV or AMD Athlon processor, 256MB RAM, Nvidia GeForce3 or better Direct3D capable video card

Additionally, the following specifications are required for multiplayer:
- 256 MB RAM for 3-8 players
- One set of game discs per player. Disc 1 and Disc 2 cannot be used simultaneously for multiplayer games.
- Internet (2-4 players): 56Kbps or faster direct Internet connection
- Internet (5-8 players): Cable, DSL, or a faster direct Internet connection
- Network (2-8 players): TCP/IP compliant network
- The original Command & Conquer Generals is required


snd: 5/5 - music remains fantastic, top-notch voice acting & effects
gfx: 5/5 - still best-looking RTS to date, excellent level design, new graphic sets, the weather effects and a cool new microwave effect emitted by the US Microwave Tank
playability: 5/5 - still damn addictive & challenging, still very fast paced, new units, upgrades and structures, three new single-player campaigns (15 new missions), all new Generals Challenge with 9 AI generals, a lot of new stuff for skirmish and multiplayer, minor pathfinding problems
genre: 3D real-time strategy
release: September 2003
developer: EA LA
publisher: Electronic Arts
Excellent
Overall: 88%

one little correction US General Townes specializes in aircrafts not WoMD. But it doesn't change the fact that this is great game :)

Good review HX! I'd agree pretty much with you. except "still challenging" -- the original C&C generals was too easy. glad they fixed it now.

maddaposted - Oct, 28 2003 - 17:29
good add-on for a great game, but this game is only really good for multiplayer as the storyline for the single player is rubbish!! they needed FMV like all the other CnC games, that was a huge let-down for me when i bought the original!!

L.Aposted - Oct, 28 2003 - 20:34
i've said it b4 and i'll say it again, i prefered the storyline of choosing an army and dominating the world! In C&CG it was all political and the jist was CHINA & USA support V GLA, USA V GLA and GLA V CHINA/USA/UN.... excuse me what about the USA V CHINA & GLA or CHINA V USA & GLA ? WTF r EA doing playing U.S foreign policy/propaganda via PC GAMES ! makes me think EA VC ur noting but a CORPORATE WHORE !

azgirlposted - Oct, 29 2003 - 02:59
the full motion video they do use (of the reporters) is such BS that i'm glad they didn't use any more. get some REAL reporters plz... not people pretending to be reporters who have to look at the script off-screen. geez....

Hans Stroffanovfposted - Oct, 30 2003 - 19:30
I think that the GLA, is still suck what with all the chemicals super power but still suck. It also lack any good or special unit. It would of been better if replace with the Russia unit like in the original series.

"still best-looking RTS to date" WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT ! ! ! ! LOOK @ HOME WORLD 2 now that is a game to look @ C&C GENERALS IS CRAP ! ! ! ! !

Wordictposted - Nov, 23 2003 - 02:53
Hell Yeah! Home World 2 is so realistic and just plain awesome, but that's besides the point because CnC Generals still rocks and Zero Hour is by far the best CnC game ever, which is saying something

Pavleposted - Dec, 09 2003 - 12:54
The game is cool. But i expected a bit more from the expansion pack. It`s still too easy to win with US and u don`t have to use any new unit ..

It is never said that the GLA are exclusively Arabs or bad. Also, if you look at the cover of the game's box, you should notice an exploding American aircraft carrier. This happens in a GLA mission. So, if the GLA soldiers were mostly Arabic, this would be your game!

Markposted - Apr, 04 2004 - 09:50
I love this game, I just have one question though I haven't figured out to get or use the new aircraft carriers etc... can anyone help me?

to play generals or zero hour via direct connect use a program called hamachi - set up ip in game options, then play as a LAN game.
