When I realised there are giant ants in a military RTS, I knew the developers were desperate. They knew they couldn't make a perfect game any better and they were exasperated! Then, in the midst of collapsing in their board meeting, one guy had a brilliant idea! "Why don't we let them fight mutated giant fire-breathing ants?" he said, and Red Alert Counterstrike was born.
What the hell?! Accompanying the weird idea are some mis-matched new units like tesla tanks and chrono tanks and more, well... a little interesting, but not satisfying enough. Some new music tracks are available (as playable CD!), but not as classic as the original ones. The missions are not coherent, so it results in a lack of motivation for playing. Even being a hardcore fan of the C&C series, I still find it a chore to finish the campaign.
