No idea what the hype is all about, this works perfectly, flawless on windows 7.... no idea what people are moaning about.
This is a great RTS game and it needs a bit to get used to. There are two approaches and each of them, the SAVE button is your best friend. 1. Direct run and shoot all down approach. Works well and accelerates the game most of the times. 2. The tactical way. Using your sniper the way you need to take out far away objects. Cutting down enemies that are asleep and so on. The difference between the two approaches. The first one can take you a mission from 30mins-45mins, the second option can last up to 3 hours. Each mission is incredibly loooong, sometimes a bit too long for my taste. And again, for every unit you kill, save the game. It works perfectly on windows 7, no complaints there. I order you to download this game if you love Strategy games.
FYI, my favorite game from the old days works perfect on Windows 7 64 bit. Gosh did I miss this game !! Great job on this one GOG !
Even the profanity has its limits. There is about four lines you can pull off and that is about it and they are not even that bad. I expected much more as I bought this game due to the reviews I read but sometimes I think as soon as someone hears some foul language in a game he automatically grades it a 5 star. I deleted it already.
This game has really never been heard of by anyone. It came out after C&C1 and I think it tried to compete with it but came nowhere close, however, it does give you fun but I am now listing the reasons why it does not have 5 stars. 1. All about massing up huge numbers of vehicles and troops, no real strategy in that. In C&C1 you had to think and apply different tactics for example, here, just build a lot of vehicles and throw them into the enemy. For me = NOT FUN. 2. Horrible voice acting. Every single unit pretty much says the same two things over and over. 3. Sound/Music does not fit at all. Sure, in the loooong missions the soft classic jazz helps you stay calm and relaxed but when it is time to attack with your HUGE army, listening to soft jazz is rather, well... you decide. I mean, you sit with your girlfriend on a couch with a glass of red wine you don't listen to heavy metal either, right ? 4. Horrible when engaging air units. Your troops will stay put when air targets bombard them so you have to select them and then an air unit which is hard to do as they swirl around real fast in the air and it is annoying frankly. 5. Mission objectives are boring. It is pretty much : Destroy all structures and units except the laboratory. Next mission, destroy all structures except the powerplant and the rafinery. Next mission, destroy all structures and units. Next mission, destroy all structures except the command center. And so on. There is no strategic mission objective, it is all to amount a mass horde of troops and destroy all. 6. Cut-scene movies and intro movie and ending... do yourself a favor and just skip all of it. Imagine spending hours and hours and the end movie goes for 20 seconds and is ridiculous. Now the good. With the expansion pack, I did find they tried to add some tactics into it. When you have to cross an ocean on Hovercrafts and find a strategic point to land your troops and armor and then systematically destroy one turret after the next to get to their main stronghold, but again, that is it right there, not much more than that it gets to tactics. A lot of different units. Great explosions for a game that old. Much better than in C&C1. Here you hear the armor burn and crack and sizzle before exploding. That is it. I do not recommend this game to be frank, but if you crazy about RTS games, you should give it at least a try.
Works perfect on Windows 7. Great voice acting, fun game and definitely gives you a pump on some missions when you just walk and shoot without even stopping once.
If the game would work, it would have 5 stars because I plaid this game already three times in the past. Now I longed for this game so bad, downloaded it, installed it but when I want to run it, it will not start and cause my screen to go black and I have to hard select the computer off buton, not even ctrl-alt-del would work. For sure a graphics issue but I downloaded pretty much every RTS game here for windows 7 and all work perfect. Be aware of this issue, I give it 2 stars because the extra star is for the game itself, it would be a shame to associate Ground Control with 1 star even if selecting the game would detonate my computer, so the title alone deserves the extra star.
