The Red Alert Expansion pack is pretty cool. you can have Yuri Primes and such which means.... You can take over the whole. You have no use for tanks and infantry anymore, except for escorts, etc

A few tidbits

Well, I have been fortunate enough to learn a few things about this highly anticipated expansion and just thought that I should say this- It will rock. Yuries Revenge will have all the aspects of Red Alert 2 along with a host of new ones. To start with, there is something that has never before been done on a C&C game- a third faction. In this case, the Yuri faction. Yes, that means you have the Allies, the Soviets, and the evil Yuri fighting againt each other all in one game. Some other great features include new untits for the allies and soviets, including Boris, a new soviet hero who bombs building at long range, the soviet siege chopper, which doesnt get nasty at all untill it lands, an actually big tank for that allies, and new game features including 3 mutiplayer campaigns (yes, I really mean multiplayer campaigns) where you and a buddy fight 3 missions per campaign as each one of the three factions against the other two factions. There is also one multiplayer super-mission in which you fight as the allies and the soviets both teamed up against Yuri. The people at Westwood designed this mission to kill. You probably won't come close to beating it the first 40 times you try. The all-new Yuri faction is not physically strong, but uses its opponents poweres against them. For example, mind control toweres- the first 3 units that dare to enter into it's range are yours. Also one of Yurie's super weapons can be used anywhere on the map like a nuke- only it doesn't destroy the other guys units- it takes controll of them. *Tip-- Spread out your appocolypse tanks if the other guy has one of these* In short its gonna be a great game and well worth the money. You're gonna be impressed the first time you play it. - The Amazing One

Should Be A Hit

I got command and conquer (the original) when I first saw it at my friends house a few years ago. I had never once played a strategy game or even seen one before I saw him playing it. It didnt look that great at first but then he let me play. Ever since then i have been hooked on many strategy games such as the C&C series, Starcraft, and Kingdom Under Fire. When Red Alert 2 came out i was real exited. I got it the day it came out ignoring a friends suggestion to wait till it went down in price. I played the game an awful lot and got hooked on it and its unique and detailed graphics. I should of known they would make an expansion pack and here we are. Im sure it will be a hit with new units for allied and soviet, alond with a 3rd team. And of course me and many others cant wait to see tanya again in many new movies.

This game is going to be one of the best games westwood has ever come out with.There will be new units and a completely new team. Strategies will completely differ from those in RA2. Giving you a new challenge with harder enemies and stronger allies. I suggest buying this game if you like Strategy games or just plain like westwood games. This game is going to be AWESOME!!!!!

Sometimes, the expansion pack is not all that it is cracked up to be, and many times, designers will put out an expansion pack laced with a few new units just to make you pay for their patch because they got so many things wrong with the original game.

However, this time, the expansion pack could stand on its own. Yuri's Revenge would be a stand-alone if the single player campaigns were longer. Only 7 missions per side, but this isn't all that bad, considering that the missions are much harder now with Yuri's side now being the advisary. Needless to say, expect to replay a few of these missions. Even the veterans will have a little trouble figuring out the best methods to defeat Yuri.

Some of the new additions are nice. The Allies finally have a heavy hitting Tank called the Battlefortress that can garrison 5 units. It can even crush other tanks and walls! Floating robot tanks also are new. The Soviets have a new building that will allow their production costs to decrease while their speed increases. The Spy Plane is also back.

But the main feature of the game is the addition of the new side, Yuri's forces. They are mostly mind-controlling units or such as the like. Be warned: If you get into a shooting match with the Allies or Soviets while playing Yuri, you will lose. The key with Yuri's units is to take full advantage of the mind-control technique. You will even have defensive structures that will mind control units that come close to your base. This makes for an extrememly fortified base, though be warned that not all units can be controled.

Overall, the new units in this game are very nice. The new movie sequences are much better than the original RA2 movies. The opening sequence is especially nicely done. The cheesy sequences are also fewer and far between now. Westwood sure did a nice job with this. Very good touch.

This is a great expansion pack, much like what the Brood War was to Star Craft and The Conquerors was to AOE II. If you have RA2, don't even bother playing this demo first. Go ahead and buy it because it will be the rage very soon in the online strategy gaming front.

Westwood doesn't disappoint!

Westwood games do not skimp on the portions!

This expansion set adds an ENTIRELY NEW third army to the game to go up against the Allied and Soviet sides, who also have a few new units. The new "Yuri" army is not as tough, and must rely on psychic mind-control power to defeat the brute force of its opponents. An excellent concept, and very well-implemented. Good balance.

There are a few new, challenging campaign missions to keep the single player occupied briefly, but you really want to get this if you're a multiplayer. There are excellent enhancements to multiplayer gaming, such as the ability to form alliances and choose starting locations before the game begins so that you don't wind up on the other side of the map from your ally.

Great ideas. Kudos to Westwood!
