this is a funny game which is even more fun than RA2. if you are not a professional RTS gamer, you have to have this.
another thing i really like is the humor in YURI. different characters have different personality, such as the talk of SEAL units is proud, "that is too easy" "who's your daddy", the miner talks really like a nice worker "oh, good day, sir" "ah..., there it is", the psychic says "predictable" "his mind is weak", the slave miner of yuri says "liberty is sweet" etc. the voice acting is professional. and the conversation between your intelligence lieutenant and Tanya in Soviet mission 3 made me laugh. lieutenant: "Tanya's C4 is useful, but she is not so skilled as Bori." Tanya: "what? Bori? oo, look at me, i can call in an air strike... hehehe, please." lieutenant: "oh, sorry, sir, i thought this channel was secure"
the graphic is 2D and looks like cartoon which add more funny feeling (3D RTS games take away that feeling). and you need only 1G CPU + 256 MB RAM to run the game smoothly(i play these games on my old notebook).
the gameplay is very interesting and not repeating. about half the missions are without a base, you have to rely on a few special unit. even in the easiest level, you have to find a good point to break in, or you can never win. and in some missions there are different ways to break in. in other games such as AOE, you don't need to think differently, just gather resources, use them evenly, defend, build, upgrade, accumulate your army, and crush the enemy. RA2 and YURI provide more types of challenge. and in hard level, even in the missions with a base, you have to manage all types of resource at the limit. too bad there are only 14 missions in YURI. i have played through RA2 3 times and YURI twice, i am still not bored.
all in all, this game is the best for casual player whos want fun and excitement and don't want to spend much time accumulating in computer games.
