Tutor Gift Certificates Are Here! Once you get over the low learning curve, you will enjoy this gem from the 5 Star General series. The only fault with Pacific General is that the campaign is shorter than Panzer General , and there are fewer scenarios to play.

Instead of having special missions available for doing well during the campaign, you get the option to buy new versions of ships, planes, and land forces earlier than normal.

This is a rip of the full game, the music and some animations have been removed. The game runs in Windows XP and Vista, it has to be extracted to a folder without any spaces in it's name, however.

I recommend that the first time you play Pacific General , you play the scenario "Midway" with both sides human-controlled, instead of the tutorial.

Fantasy General. Steel Panthers. Empire Deluxe. Front Lines. Each general is an expert in a particular field, with bonuses and special units available depending on their skills.

For example, play as Chinese General Kwai - an expert in armoured warfare - and you can build tanks cheaply and earn powerful bonus abilities, his weakness being that he can't recruit artillery units and aircraft are expensive.

Go up against US General Alexander - a specialist in base defence, whose inability to build tanks is offset by EMP missiles and cheaper Particle Cannons - and you've got yourself an interesting battle.

While the new strategies work well, the Al still makes some corking blunders; units often get caught up crossing bridges, while enemy generals always seem to rely on the same routes to attack you time and time again.

Saying that, your troops are more coordinated than they appeared last time around so there are improvements. Of course this wouldn't be much of an expansion pack without some new units and EA has introduced plenty of upgrades and fresh reinforcements for each side.

These include GLA combat bikes that tear across the maps at breakneck speed, Chinese Helix helicopters that can transport the massive Overlord tanks across the map and drop napalm bombs and, for the US, the Microwave tank that can reheat a chicken biryani in under five seconds - and reduce enemy buildings to rubble as a happy aside.

Add in a couple of new General Abilities and new buildings, like the Chinese Internet Centre, and you have a hefty package that puts most add-ons to shame.
