Gives interesting single player missions for both sides but the real strategic gameplay is in multiplayer.

User Rating: 9 | Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 PC
As much as I love C&C games i thought that Red Alert 2 was probably the one of the best RTS (real time strategy) in the series. The single player campagins give an interesting gamepaly for both the allied and soviet side each trying to prevale and yet defeat Yuri from his reign of using his physic ability to mindcontrol anyone. The game brings forth units from old war games and new technology from the future. Using air, sea and ground units (infintry, vehicles) . Surprisingly unlike other games such as Warcraft 3 where you can only click on up to 12 units (per team) but in this game you can hold up to pretty much what you can buy from 1 unit to whatever the max units you have. In one assalt by having one box clicking all and a huge seige will happen no matter if thats 100 soldiers or 100 tanks it will be an incredible fight especially online. The computers(AI) have three difficulties. Easy, Medium and Brutal. Each have their own characteristics, timing and units in which they attack with. Experienced players will find that brutal computers are not that hard to defeat...just because they are predictible...yeah predictible. The game itself is really good but after 2 or 3 games vs computers...it actually starts to get boring, then thats where online comes in and facing a whole bunch of people all over the world. Its fun and they arent predictible as the computers so....its a lot more addictive. The music is very versitile and is very well made music to play with almost like Splinter Cell. For the people who are new to this are going to have a tiny bit of difficulties but in about 30 minutes you will get the hang of it. Also making maps is pretty fun too, customizing it to the way you want and playing in it, is all the more reasons to have this game. Everthing kicks in from music to graphics to gameplay everything is wrapped up and balanced, making it an enjoyable satisfying, addictive interesting game to own.
