    The first games up to Red Alert were excellent, unfortunatelly, Westwood/EA concentrated on graphics rather than gameplay. The latest C&C Generals was a BIG disappointed. And now EA is cashing in on what it missed before itr aquired Westwood. I certainly not buy this one...

    This is a great deal. The new C&C Generals whoops the old ones, and i think some of you need to open ur eyes n take a breather.. If u haven't noticed were in the year 06 not 96 so yes games will graphically look amazing n play amazing, if u have a problem with that stick to the old ones. This package deal is great and a must buy for a true RTS fan of the series.

    I have allways loved the C&C theme, brings me back to the time when i played C&C Tiberian sun on the net with my friends, those were the days. I rated 9 because they shoul of put something new in C&C The first decade, not just the old versions, but still these games were the best.

    Totally agree with Mig L, sadly that is the way most games are heading these days. However with that said this is a nice chance to get your hands on all the older classic titles which are very good. Also to try the newer ones if you haven’t already, although they didn’t impress me at all.

    I find nothing bad to say about C&C, but a technical problem forces me to rate this game-pack. In my case (And a small few others that I noticed) the Tiberian sun game will simply crash on startup. I believe that bug is treatable, so I only took off one point for it

    About time they put all of these great classics, in a box. Everytime my dad got a new computer i'd get the old one and would install windows 98 just to play them. Sadly my dad sold all the old computers so i couldnt get to play. But now with a simple click all 12 games are in front of me.

    This was a great buy. All of my old favorites on one disk. Also I got every game to work online.

    This is the franchise which revolutionised RTS gaming as we know it. every game, for it's time, had top spec graphics, with outstanding game play, The game has only developed as it's gotten older, more complex, more strategic, and more intense. I just wish Westwood had stayed with EA for longer, as I felt the games lacked that intense fast pace play, that was experienced in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. That said, the game are still 10/10. Expand

    All these games are wonderful, and as a nostalga gamer, I enjoy being able to play these classics on my Windows XP box. It's too bad that Red Alert 2 suffers from a really nasty crash bug and most of the networking functions no longer work due to Westwood Online no longer functioning. If you can find this for $20, it's worth it to have all the command and conquers on 1 DVD. You also get a nice bonus DVD with interviews and a bunch of other goodies. Not stellar, but not too bad.

    Incredibly cheap and features numerous games, all of which offer countless hours of gameplay, The First Decade is a steal imo. The only flaw to this is that there are a ton of bugs and glitches, It ruins the game a bit but the patches fix about 70-75% of the problems. Still a solid game well worth getting imo.

  1. There simply isn't a better compilation of Command & Conquer material. You could buy each game individually and set up the appropriate hacks to make them work, but you can bet that EA won't be patching those - this compilation is where your future support lies...hopefully.
  2. In their time, many of these could be considered great titles, but there's nothing new here. There's old here. There's some very old here. Some very, very old here. If they had done something, included another Generals expansion packlet just to give me the inkling that perhaps they had put some work into this collection rather than just stuffed it into a box, I might be more favorable towards it. But they didn't.
  3. Hopefully any future release will benefit from vigorous testing before release, a privilege that hasn't seemed to have been granted to this collection.
