Pretty old game, but it still ROCKS! Any CnC fan will want to have a crack at this one.
PRETTY GOOD VISUALS add a war like environment to the game.
A good number of factions makes the game still more alluring, with each one having their own special units.
I like the sound effects too-especially the music.
Red Alert is a game where the Allies fight the Soviets with odd weapons and technology. Each side has a number of factions with their own unique units. Both the sides sport two superweapons. The game also features combat in all three spheres - land, air and water. Naval combat is something rarely seen in the CnC universe - with CnC Generals and CnC Tiberium Wars lacking naval units. Its an excellent game for inexperienced RTS players and introduces you to some features of the modern CnC games. You can play the campaign either with the Allies or with the Soviets, thus making the campaign a long and enjoyable one. Skirmish games are also very interesting, especially when the feature a number of good maps. Overall its a good experience. If you don't believe, try it out yourself.
