Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2

The Good
I liked the naval units as I did in the original game. I liked the singleplayer missions and movies more than Tiberian Sun and and Red Alert. Westwood in my opinion always does a great job on their movies which makes you want to beat the missions. I always liked the tesla coils from the series and there back i guess, can't say much else i liked.

The Bad
The airforce units are simply put terrible and not fun to use unlike Tiberian Sun. This game is really just Red Alert all over again except some improvements. But these improvements are not much and this game for a 2000 release was really a step backwards out the door for Westwood in the RTS world. Most reviewers liked the game and they can have it as I know fun factors in the most and this is more a mindless tankbuilding game (based on building huge armies rather than strategically used units) than their other successful Tiberian series was (Dawn &Sun). The multiplayer setup screen and menus looked like they predated Tiberian Sun's. It was almost like stepping back into Red Alert 1. The multiplayer aspects and strategies are not as complex as Tiberian and Starcraft either.

The Bottom Line
Overall, the game is a decent game. Fans of Command & Conquer all would enjoy it but I don't feel the game is as balanced as other Command & Conquer games. I wouldnt give it that 4.0 rating as this game, for its time, wasn't a great improvement and left something to be desired. I'd say a 3.2 MobyScore is more accurate in my opinion as it can be missed and you arent missing anything great from that time in gaming. (And that is how it should be judged)
