Of all and every RTS to grace my PC, this one is the best. Ever.
Einstein, that guy with funny hair, built a time machine and traveled back in time (duh) to the past so he could introduce the technology he had to people of those days. So in the eve of would be WW2 in our time line there are only Allies with U.S.A. at helm. And everywhere else. And there is is the Soviet Union, with soviet (blast those schools that teach me to separate soviets and russians) Russia pulling the strings. And Soviet premier Romanov, helped by Lenin-looking psychic named Yuri, orders the attack of the US of A. Since they are taken by a surprise (Yuri took care of spies) and cannot fight back effectively (Yuri took care of their missile silo personnel). and so pounding begins. USA, I mean, Allies have funky futuristic tech: laser towers, that boost each other, laser tanks, mirage tanks (they use tree disguise), chrono troopers, chronominers, chronospheres, weather control devices and some things that look more common. The Soviets are more soviet: slow, ponderous and with total disrespect fr human life. While USA's main infantry G.I.'s can entrench themselves and pull a machinegun out of their butts, soviets have Conscripts, who cost only the half of G.I. and have no special abilities. Also, soviets are obsessed with flak and Tesla technologies, so they have many flack units and some tesla units. Other memorable things are Apocalypse tanks, which kicks butt and shoots down planes, slow and heavy Kirov zeps, that demolish buildings in a blink of an eye, provided they get to them, telepaths for mind control and cloning.
And all this destructive power causes so much fun that I have to agree that this game is better than even Dawn of War. Plus, the maps, the sound and actress embodying Tania, the female sex bomb Lara Croft-style marine, is hot.
P.S. Please, don't mind the grammar.
