Rock-solid gameplay. A little dated after all these years, but still one of the all-time great RTS games.

What can I say? The gameplay is great, the campaigns are great, everything about this game is good. You can't beat picking off legions of infantry with Tanya. The Soviets have some muscle. The mammoth tank is one of the all-time great units. As for defense, the tesla coil is to date the most impressive defensive structure in any game ever. Plus you have flame towers. Throwing lighting bolts and fireballs at enemies is just plain fun.

As the Allies you can use the cruiser to bombard your foes from an entire screen away, or launch massive tank strikes using the WW2 allies "quantity over quality" tactics. Or just throw a squadron of Apache choppers at 'em.

Classic goodness. If you don't have this, go dig it out of the bargain bin.
