Generals is a more realistic near future game played much the same way as Command & Conquer and Red Alert.
Also in the Command & Conquer series is Generals. Up to and include Command & Conquer 4 and Red Alert 3. the Brotherhood of NOD.īoth versions got updates and expansions. Command & Conquer are based on Sci-Fi and Red Alert is a sort of alternative history.Ĭommand & Conquer is the Global Defense Initiative vs. Both games are God View and require base building and resource mangement.

Use the agile Archer Maidens with their dangerous energy arrows, the fully amphibious Grinder that will crush everything in its path or the giant Giga-Fortress, a flying cyborg head s bigger than any other unit you have seen in Red Alert.

The controls have remained untouched, so anyone familiar with Red Alert 3 should feel completely at home.
On a brighter note, the game is full of bright colors and vibrant particle effects, so those looking for escape from the muddy colors of other games should find sanctuary. Moreover, the fact that the camera can't zoom in very far is another drawback, especially when other RTS games allow players to practically get down to eye-level and witness the action in a more intimate setting. Even the dungeon-crawl experience doesn't throw much new into the mix for the player. Conversely, the environments don't really offer much in the way of variety. The environments are as well-rendered as they were in the original. The new units are modeled in the exact same style and fit well. Visually, Uprising is the same as Red Alert 3.
