Generals is a fascinating RTS as while it is a break away from the rest of the C&C franchise in terms of setting, its retained devotion to the C&C big stupid action movie formula translates very well to the War On Terror melodrama of the new setting.
I consider Generals to be an excellent "baby's first RTS", having a respectable spread of units for each of its three unique factions and requiring very little in the way of the nuisance micromanagement that has permeated the modern genre. The difficulties scale fairly hard but the game is mechanically very quick to comprehend and manage.
The standout of this game is its engine, which makes full use of the modern 3D tech to make the game an explosive monster truck rally of a game, which suits the theme surprisingly well.
