military and historical

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.

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

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge:

I'm in college now so I don't have much time to sit down and play computer games but I decided that I should probably make time for this one.

Let me just say that I am amazed, this is what an expansion pack should be. The game also serves to illustrate something that I think some software companies have forgotten that namely is just because your product looks good does not mean it is fun.

You're product could be the best looking product on the planet but if the game play sucks all you have is a nice looking game that sucks.

In this case it does not matter that I found the plot to be ludicrous and strange the good game play more than makes up for it. Weather it is leading a last desperate charge towards a base, digging in and defending your territory and calling an air strike the whole game just feels like somebody who was designing it cared about the consumer for once(which I might add happens only rarely in a game produced by EA admit it).

I would also like to comment on an aspect of the game that I usually don't bother with single player missions they are fun to play and unique this is probably the best Command and Conquer installment since Covert Operations that is the very first expansion pack made for command and conquer(the original)

Overall-In this way Yuri's Revenge is a complement to Red Alert 2 rather than a letdown like I've found most expansion packs to be. Everything works so closely together EA should be proud.
