All its new features combine to make Yuri's Revenge ideal or even downright necessary for anyone who enjoyed Red Alert 2
The first Command and conquer game(aka Tiberian Dawn), first released for the PC in 1995, was the start of a great R.T.S. franchise. Ever since then, many CnC games have come out like Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, Covert Operations, Counterstrike, Generals, Generals Zero hour, After math, Yuri's Revenge, Tiberian Wars, etc. Let's just stop for a moment take a look at one of the old one's, Yuri's revenge. It was first released in the month of October 2001. It is a game that has drawn many gamer's such as I to it, once you play it you can't stop. Yuri's Revenge is the expansion pack to a great game, aka Red Alert 2. Yeah, Red Alert two is a fabulous game, but with the expansion it hits number 10. This game features multiplay capabilities, such as LAN and internet play, different clans to join, tourniments, etc. This game also features extensive gameplay, good for several hours(100+) and it keeps going with the skimirsh capability the game has. This game also has new units and a new side, Yuri's side. Some of the new units for the Allies is the Battle Fortess, and the robot tank.One of the new units for the Soviets is the seige copter. Really nice. This game also got new structures. You have to play the game to see all these awesome features.
Yuri's revenge is certainly a game you'll scratch your head over, but once you figure it out it is highly addictive. While this game takes a step away from traditional command and conquer games this game still has a c&c feel to it. The gameplay is very simple. All of your build commands are divided into structures, defenses, infantry, and armored vehicles and tanks.
The graphics are really good for its time, you can see a lot of detail in the buildings and units and vivid colors. I wasn't too fond of the sound, mainly the music, I think that more time could have been spent on the sound, but it doesn't hinder the very much at all. You could very well spend over 3 hours at a time on this game. The game also has a very interesting storyline and still keeps to that live action cutscenes from previous C&C games. Ther is much the same and much different about this game from other C&C games but its well worth your time and money.
