THE GOOD:
Unique money-earning system, awesome graphics for the time, variety of units, great storyline. The multiplayer maps are also plentiful

THE BAD:
Different gameplay than conventional RTS games. The annoying thing was how the left click button is the main button

SUMMARY:
Red Alert 2 is a step up from the first, as many sequels are. The graphics and detail are definitely better, and the cutscenes are now actually clear. The storyline continues where it left off, and some of the cast has returned (most noticably Tanya). The new vehicles and infantry are creative, and none are too insanely good to the point of cheating. The only dissappointment I could find in this game is the lack of depth. Any six year old could master this game. That doesn't make this game bad, but I always like challenges.

THE GOOD:
Allies v Soviets storyline set in the future
Ability to disable Super Weapons in multiplayer games
Good diversity of units

THE BAD:
Super Weapons are too powerful.

SUMMARY:
Red Alert 2 is probably the Command and Conquer game that I played the most. Once again the single player storyline was good and involved and the multiplayer mode was done well again. This was the first game in the series that EA had a say in, but Westwood was still involved in the game, to great effect. The storyline this time round is mostly fictional and not really based on anything if I remember correctly and the new units in this game are well thought out and again everything flows smoothly. Like the first Red Alert, Ore is the resource to be harvested in this game. But there are now crystals to be harvested as well which are twice as valuable as Ore. But the ore will regenerate, the crystals do not so grab them while you can.

There are still a...

But multiplayer is where its at. a well laid out, easy to use and it costs...nada. no subscription, nowt!

MUST HAVE!
Also Recommended: Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, 4.5/5...

THE GOOD:
It has very good graphics and some of the best A.I I have ever seen.

It has Real Humans that i think make you get into the game more. The Humans in RA2 Intereact With you. Giveing you breifing's and a congradulations when you finish a mission.

The Multiplayer side is wonderfull i myself speand. 5 Hours straight playing with other players from around the world. Thats how addicting this game is!

The learning curve of RA2 isnt that steep its mild. And you can probably learn this game the first day you bought it. And if you couldnt figure it out you could play The Boot-Camp mode to sharpen your skills.

THE BAD:
Nothing is bad about this game in my opinion.

SUMMARY:
Ive had Red Alert 2 for 4 years now seeing as i bought it when it was first relesed back in 2000. And let me just say ive been hooked on it ever since! Let me just say if someone reads this review asking themeselves should i get this game? Let me just make...

THE GOOD:
Graphics, gameplay, stotyline, sound.

SUMMARY:
Westwood is back with one of the greatest game in RTS world, CnC RA2, this game is da bomb, it rulz in everyway. After 4 years playing, I still never get bored of it. Although, nowadays, many people prefer games such as Generals, RA2 still offers a unique side of the cold war. You will still remember how US and Russia was in verge of war back in the 60's if you play RA2. The game has one of the best graphics back in 1999. It was unfortunate that Westwood Stodius had to be closed down and replaced by EA games. Although Generals is a good product, it requires a lot of memory, good graphics card, etc. Whereas, RA2 is a bargain, as it has a very low system requirement for such a good graphic. It also has one advantage over Generals. Real humans are used for the video clips, such as the beautiful Tanya or Liutenant Zofia.

THE GOOD:
there's quite a lot of good stuff there's loads of different countries you can play as in the random map game with all of there special weapons/units and you can also choose the battle area where you battle it out against the computer or even your friends

THE BAD:
well its kinda dogie when you are in a place lets say there's a mountain and a little gap just enough for a person on the screen to go through the gap and he has to go another way its just irratating

SUMMARY:
there's loads of countries to play as,as i said before from like america to russia with all of there special weapons lets say russia has these cool tesla tanks and america has paratroopers you'll see them if you get the game its really cool you'll also be able to find what kind of special weapons the other countries have
there's also the campaign area where you can play as the russians from there point of view and the americans point of view becoz there was a war.

THE GOOD:
The amazing graphics, stunning sounds and intriguing storyline, I HAVE NEVER PLAYED ANYTHING LIKE THIS!!!!

THE BAD:
It took me some time to find some bad elements...the only one I could find was that if they could include air gunnery and NOT only strikes at buildings.

SUMMARY:
When I first played this game at a friends I was stunned....the beginning of the Allied campaign sort of makes you feel as if it was really happening...with the noise of missiles launching and Tanya's stylish speech...Unlike stupid games like AOE this game makes you feel as if you're really in battle with the noises and all...!!
Another thing which I really enjoyed is the way how civilians run about helplessly amid the chaos. In the Allied campaign if felt so realistic with the Soviet Paratroopers dropping in, buildings on fire, police sirens blazing, civilians racing about,guns firing away without a care in the world.

I rate it at this high score because it has good graphic (better than the last one, of course) and gameplay...
It is a very popular game(all my friends think so.Even my teacher plays it)as you can see it on the top of the pc most popular list.
4.8/5
0.2 for lack of freshness (it has alot weapons that have been seen in other games)But i still like it(it doesn't have population limits)
Lowest Prices
