China is the 'Zerg' in this game. Vast armies can be constructed quickly and cheaply ; The GLA are terrorists, so they do not have much technology; USA have superior technology.
The first thing fans will notice is that no real actors are used for the cutscenes. Instead, all of the cutscenes are done in the game engine. Whether this is good or bad, It is up to the fans. After all, the most important thing is the gameplay. Well, it plays like command & conquer, only that it is in 3D. As with all of the other command & conquer games, it is not really a realistic war game. There are some units and technologies that can only exists in games. Examples include China's Propaganda Towers which increses the firing rate of troops and USA's Ion cannon that uses the satellite to target enemy buidings.
However, there are a few units in the GLA that are too realistic, such as suicide bombers and vehicles rigged with explosives. This game could'nt have been released at a more appropriate time.
The complaints are : the missions are too simple under normal mode, too challenging in hard mode and impossible in brutal mode. Under normal mode, experienced players can probably finish the whole game in a few days. Fortunately, there is a skirmish mode which, to some gamers that I know, play this game only for that.
