Description
While the Allies and the Soviets were fighting each other in
Red Alert 2 Yuri (the psychic adviser to the Soviet Premier) was secretly building his own army of clones and mutations. Once the war ended, Yuri launched his own attempt to take over the Earth with a series of psychic dominators designed to turn the world's population into his puppets. The only chance to stop him lies in using Einstein's chronotechnology to travel back in time and destroy the dominators before they can come on line.
There are two single player campaigns in Yuri's Revenge, one for the Allies and one for the Soviets. Both are seven missions long and pit the player against Yuri's monstrous forces. In addition, each army gets five new units/buildings to aid their war efforts. For the Allies, there's anti-tank guardian infantry, Navy Seals, and robot tanks. The Soviets gain siege helicopters, battle bunkers, and "Boris" the Russian equivalent of Tanya. Also, the entire cast of Red Alert 2 returns to reprise their roles in the campaign cinematics.
Although there is no single player campaign for Yuri, his army becomes available as a third side in the multiplayer game with 13 new units and 11 new buildings. Combat forces include mutated brutes, Yuri clones, boomer submarines, and UFO like floating discs. Bases are built around bio-reactors and grinders (which shred captured units and refund cash) and defended with mind-control towers and gattling turrets. Yuri's strength leans heavily on his abilities to take over enemy troops with psychic units like the "master mind", a vehicle that can brainwash nearby enemies and turn them against their owner.

Trivia
In one interesting advertising gimmick, Westwood ran advertisements for a 1-900 number to Yuri's psychic hotline. The ad read that you could call 1-900-454-YURI and find out if domination is in your future. It is a real hotline set up for Yuri's Revenge, and I found it entertaining. Calling this number is $.95 a minute, but its only a message a few minutes long. A Red Alert 2 fan may want to try it.
