Zero Hour features three new campaigns, each made up of five missions – and, due to some fans’ disappointment at Generals’ lack of cut-scenes, live-action video was included again to move the narrative along. It’s regarded as one of the very best Command & Conquer games, and though it took a few risks, they ultimately paid off.Īnother C&C: Generals game came along in the same year. The gameplay itself was changed quite a bit from previous instalments, with a new economy system, no FMV scenes (unimaginable!), and a shiny new 3D engine. The GLA’s a more guerilla affair, with sneak-attacks the key to victory. The former two countries are the planet’s reigning superpowers, while the GLA is fighting to bring them both down.Įach faction has its differences: the USA boasts impressive high-tech gear and a tough air fleet, while China relies more on the power of tanks and a huge army.
You have three factions to choose from: The USA the People’s Republic of China and the Global Liberation Army (AKA the GLA). Command & Conquer: GeneralsĬommand & Conquer: Generals hit the market in 2003, and drops players into a near-future war. You can also design your own maps to play on with your pals. The gameplay itself was tweaked from the original, with an additional resource to utilise, unique heroes, as well as naval forces to mix things up a little. Creating an alternate timeline allowed Westwood Studios to basically have fun imagining how things might have been, and it helps to give Red Alert a unique flavour. You can choose to play as Allied or Soviet forces, each with their own vehicles and weaponry, including some inventive creations like Tesla coils and Chronospheres. The story starts with Albert Einstein killing Adolf Hitler using a time machine (a high concept, if ever there was one!), and this mahoosive change sees history take a darker turn, with the USSR becoming a huge ruling force. Released more than 20 years ago, back in 1996, Command & Conquer: Red Alert is set between 1946 and ‘53 … in an alternate universe, of course.
