DESCRIPTION
Considering its elite heritage, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 has a lot to live up to. The Command and Conquer series essentially defined 2D real-time strategy on the PC and developer Westwood Studios continues to be a leader in that genre. Built on the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun engine, Red Alert 2 has been tweaked to allow even larger battles and a more user-friendly interface. Units now can garrison in buildings, adding another strategic twist.
The Red Alert 2 episode takes place some time after the original Red Alert. Stalin is dead and has been replaced with the new "evil leader," General Romanov. Some of the action takes place close to home for the Allies in this episode, with Soviet forces invading New York City and Washington D.C. As Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 sticks to the same basic storyline and gameplay design while featuring new weapons and recognizable battlefields, real-time strategy fans should find it a worthy addition to Westwood's Command & Conquer series. ~ T.J.

“Red Alert 2 was one of the first strategy games that I was able to get into, and I'm glad that I have this to look back on and smile at.
It's Command & Conquer. It's real-time strategy at its best and simplest. You don't have to gather different kinds of resources, you don't have to research tech trees other than building new buildings, and you don't have to know any strategies simpler than ""build a butt-load of tanks and send them across the map.""
For its time, the graphics were as good as 2D could get. The sound is awesome, and the inter-mission cut-scenes are a cheesy joy to watch.
With the more recent re-release of this title in the Command & Conquer first decade collection, you can once again play online with friends or people you don't know. I really wish that this whole franchise had a much bigger following, since it's much more colorful than any 4x game you care to name.”

“My first RTS experience. I had a tendency to turtle every match and build up a fortress with a massive army that would only move as one destructive force. :P Not such a good idea in multiplayer. Destroying entire squadrons with Tanya was bitchin'!”

“Was never one of my favorites but I did have some fun with this standard "build a mob scene" game. The fact that units all have neat abilities helps extend it past the norm.”

“Not as good as TS but the campaign is supreme to most other C&C RTSs. If you have this seriously get Yuri's Revenge; one of the skirmish maps on there is a temperate version of 'Arctic Circle' on this [RA2].”
