A solid follow-up to the first Red Alert, but a little strange on the look and feel.

It's not bad actually, with a modern day setting of the Allies and Soviets, complete with some cool backdrops like The Pentagon. There's quite some makeover of the units' and structures' concept, well, Tanya could swim now. A lot of the units are way too sci-fi perhaps, like prism technology, and giant squids?!

You could say some of these developments are way over the top in comparison to the first C&C Red Alert. Hell, they even surpassed Tiberian Sun's technology. Anyway, this game's still great fun in terms of RTS gameplay with very on-the-toes pacing (units move surprisingly fast compared to previous C&C installations).

I don't mind that the game's still using pixel art, but it looks sort of cartoonish, like Metal Slug, even the V3 Rocket appears bubbly. Actually I enjoyed myself very much with the campaign missions spoken like a true C&C fan, just that it ain't the way I recognised Red Alert to be of.
