Better than Age of Empires and Tiberian Sun combined!

Command & Conquer: Red Alert is the best strategy game out there. Use tanks, infantry, Tesla Coils, planes, subs, and more to blow the computer apart, or take on a friend (or seven) in multiplayer Head-To-Head (to head-to-head...) Play as the Soviets and crush the Allies. Or be the Allies and save the world from the Soviets. Make sure you have enough power to keep your important buildings (such as radar and SAM sites) in case of a surprise attack. There are three things you need to do: 1) Make sure you have food close by; you don't want things like hunger distacting you. 2) Make all your phone calls NOW; you will be using the modem so much you can't call them. 3)BUY THE GAME!

superior by far

i got this game, oh i dont know, 3 years ago, and could not wait for the release of Tiberium sun, but what i found was just a souless shell of a game.

The original red alert was balanced but still diverce. Foucused on planing, strategy, and cunning. Balanced gameplay is the key. whereas the new tiberium sun may look pretty, the game is just the same rehashed harvest, build, rush, brining nothing new to the genre.

i love Red alert, my first foree into the multiplayer world, everyday after school, i would play modem games. who knows how many hours i logged playing it. Buy Red alert, a great great game. Whereas Tiberium sun is not worth the time of day, it is pretty, and thats about it. There are no downsides to anything, every unit is too good for its own good. NO balance, no gameplay, no fun.

Westwood, hoping to cash in on the RTS gravy train pumped out its newest contender, tiberium sun, without putting any soul behind it. Buy red alert, or total annihilation or homeworld, games that truly revolutionized the RTS world and will give you a worthwhile time that would warrent you shelling out your cash for.

World War 2 Just Changed...

In C&C: Red Alert (in case you don't already know) you fight an alternate World War 2, in which Germany, Britain, Greece and all the other Western European countries fight against the might of the Soviet Union. The game is a classic, and the scientific details are well thought out. (Tesla now devotes his time to weapons research for the Soviets, while Einstein is the key to a secret Allied weapon) Buy the game - you won't regret it.

This game rocks!

What else is there to say? This is the best war strategy game I've ever played! The graphics are good, especially the cut scenes, and the amount of things you can build, train and destroy are numerous! Also, the Tanya character is the best! Fun, challenging and cool, I urge you to buy this game!

Waaaaaaaay better than that new Tiberian sun trash

Well, I loved C&C I, but I almost literally worshipped Westwood for Red alert, man this games rocks! This game makes a worthy heir to the first game and contributes a lot of great new ideas such as warships,amphibious landingcraft, and so on. Take my advise, if you're thinking of buying a C&C, take either this one or C&C I. STAY AWAY from that new junk they just released, Tiberian Sun, although it looks a lot better, it's a laugh compared to the two originals.

Wow!

Red Alert is one of the best games out there. The single player campaigns are good and the multiplayer game is great. It has little or no lag. If your a RTS buff or just love computer games than get this A.S.A.P.

This is the best PC game ever!

This is the best game for PC. This is the best strategy game ever made for computers and will live forever just like Super Mario Bros. or Zelda, because it's a classic. If you like strategy games, buy it, cause you'll play it for hours, weeks, or even years... like me... :P

This game kicks HUGE .... ! Control the allied army or thesoviets. Either way, you get a totally awesome gamingexperience. Recruit Minigunners at your barracks, Build mammoth tanks at the war factory, and even train war dogs when you play as a soviet. With so many units and weapons and defenses and tanks in this game you can keep on making your army better. I especially like the suicide dynamite truckers! END

One of the Best

In this game you will find many things but the one that stands out the most is once you have had a taste of this game you will need to keep playing, you will not beable to stop. I suggest that you get Red Alert insted of the new one tiberian sun
