One of the greatest underappreciated RTS games of all time.
User Rating: 8.1 | Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 PC
Something that many strategy games fall short in doing, is giving the player a sense of purpose. They dont give you a reason to fight one, well spare the people's obssesion of wooping but upon the enemy. In Red Alert 2, the United States defenses have been comprimised and has suffered a massive first strike from the Soviet Union. If you play on the US side, your goal will be to force the enemy out of US territory and in the end take the fight to him, while on the Soviet side, your goal is conquest pure a simple. I remember seeing that openning video the first time, and rage filling me as I watched the statue of liberty fall.
The gameplay is also well throught out and along the lines of traditional stereotyping of US and Soviet military strengths. For example, that US Infantry is able to fortify there position by entrenching, however they cost twice as much as regular soviet infantry which do not have that same ability.
For Freedom! For Conquest! You decide in Red Alert 2
