Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 review

Posted : 2 years ago on 4 December 2007 05:33 (A review of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2)

This game provided me with countless, countless hours of fun when it was first released. I think it was a mixture of not knowing any better and not realising just how outrageous and far fetched the plot and gameplay was. I didn't care.

It looks fairly dated by todays standards and it is nowhere near as serious as modern RTS games, but I guess that is part of the fun. The game isn't difficult, the plot is entertaining and thanks to the cut scenes, rewarding. The online play was top notch as well, as you might expect from a Westwood game. I can't believe it is 7 years old, I remember buying it in the shop and returning eagerly to play the latest installment of my favourite franchise. I wouldn't even attempt to instal this on a vista machine these days, and I would recommend steering clear unless you're willing to play it with your tongue bedded firmly in your cheek.
