Out tomorrow. The C&C Generals team using a tweaked version of the engine which results in better looking and smoother graphics than Dawn of War which, although excellent, felt like it really could have used some more polishing.

Ignore the developers who make an effort to ruin the experience by talking and also being seen.

Looks great, but three possible concerns:

1. Every counter to each evil unit just seems to be "use Gandalf".
2. Mention of importance on a few powerful hero units with special abilities and troop buffing auras. Sounds a little too close to Warcraft 3.
3. Fucking hobbits. Dear Game makers, NOBODY LIKES FRODO. Nobody wants to see him "lay the smackdown"; nobody wants to play him. Please omit him from any and all future LotR games.


Hoping it will great anyway. Picking it up tomorrow. AIM: fahbs24
