This was great game in its times, but now I'm not sure. For me it's still one of the best.
With an all new range of units, vehicles and buildings, Red Alert is even better than the original. There are two different adversaries this time round; the Allies and the Soviets. Both hold a unique range of weaponry. These highly original armies add an even greater depth to the massive extent of gameplay. The player must use his wits and strategic thinking to invade the enemies base and complete each level. There are so many ways to finish missions, whether it be a full-scale invasion or a sneak attack. Some new units include the spy, who can infiltrate enemy buildings, the guard dogs, who can hunt down spies and kill soldiers in seconds, and more!
The soundtrack is simply superb. In Command and Conquer there were only a few well chosen tracks to play. In Red Alert there are atleast 20 unique tracks to the game. Each track sets the feeling of the game.
What helps to set Red Alert aside from all other strategy games is it's amazing multi-player mode. Once again the player can team up with his friends against exceptionally hard enemies. The multi-player system can keep the player occupied for hours.
Red Alert is another amazing game. Once more, Westwood has proven that their strategy game making abilities are simply superb. Red Alert is well worth the buy.
