It's Zero Hour, and time to unleash the absolute latest in modern weapons technology in a quest to become the world's most powerful General. In Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, the first expansion pack to Command & Conquer Generals, players will wage a global war for control of the modern world and face the ultimate challenge by squaring off against the world's most elite commanders. Selecting from a variety of new units and an arsenal of new high-tech weaponry, players will use whatever it takes to remove enemy Generals from power.
To emerge victorious, even the most experienced C&C Generals' veteran must discover new tactics and strategies to take full advantage of-and learn to defend against-the world's most lethal weapons. With the addition of new units, structures, and upgrades-plus enhanced controls, Battle Honors, and a variety of new online features-Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour gives players the firepower they'll need for global domination.
With 15 new missions, players may be tasked to destroy the U.S. fleet in the Mediterranean, root out a splinter cell in Cairo, infiltrate a U.S. intelligence building, or send in special operatives to capture weapons of mass destruction. An all-new Generals Challenge mode allows players to control any of 9 new armies in battle against 9 AI generals.
The ultimate goal will be to successfully make their way through all 9 enemy Generals, and unlock a select number of their armies for play in Skirmish and Online modes and prove once and for all they are the Ultimate Modern Warfare General.

This game makes me sad.
The Engine feels very dated even by 2004 standards. Red alert 2 had more to Offer in almost Everything and was way more Optimized and Runs WAY better.

not only did I have to download a lot of files and Configs to play this game on Modern System, I also had to Dig for any Mod on Moddb because the Base game is underwhelming with the AI and the Units Verity and Creativity for a Good Single-player RTS experience.

Fond Memories
I recently bought an external CD drive for my new computer and installed this fine game. Previously I played the game in college and a little after.

I recently bought an external CD drive for my new computer and installed this fine game. Previously I played the game in college and a little after. Then I started having dreams about C&C so picked it back up on my new computer. I was surprised it was compatible with Windows 8 because the game is a good ten years old. Anyway, on to the actual review.
If you've played previous installments of C&C you'll notice a lot of the same. Assigning group numbers to units is convenient and the new units such as drones and snipers help immensely. In zero hour you can play as a general who has different strengths and weaknesses. My personal favorites are the USA air force general and super weapons general. The latter allows the construction of advanced power plants to fuel your super weapons. Other perks include EMP patriot base defense missiles and special bombers. Along with the bonuses are limitations such as no tanks. In skirmish mode there are achievements and at the end of each battle (like older games) there are statistics.
Campaign mode awesome with lots of cinematic cut scenes and acting and the missions are well constructed.
The difficulty is adjustable. Easy is way too easy, medium is good and hard is challenging.
Not sure how many people still play the game, so online play may be difficult. I just play against the computer, it's still fun. Overall I strongly recommend this game. Replay value is high with lots of strategic gaming fun.
