Gameplay is fluid, albeit a little slow in places, while it should also be noted that he who rules the skies, wins (99 times out of 100 anyway). Explosions and animation are superb, I particularly like the way bodies fly through the air as a bunker is blown up, and the screams of anguish as troopers die a painful chemical death never fails to bring a smile (I know, I’m a sick git). The graphics and sound are excellent, as could be expected from a developer of this pedigree, with the cut scenes giving a truly professional feel to the whole experience.

and raining hell from above is morbidly satisfying. Ruling the skies is an almost guaranteed victory.

Your money buys you another 15 single player missions all complete with new units, a ‘challenge’ scenario where you can choose a general that suits your style of play and put him up against 8 others as well as the usual skirmish and multiplay modes. Anyone who bought and enjoyed the original CandC: Generals won’t go far wrong doing the same again with this expansion.
