As a former C&C RA1 world champion I was waiting on this game. I saw before hand that many were mildly disapointed.

...But the game really isn't that bad. As with most games the past few years, the better the quality upgrade, the same subtracts from the gameplay. In fact Red Alert 2 was unplayable in my opinion. This game IS playable. The storyline is cheesy but tolerable ( and at times whitty), and the background soundtrack is 3rd best in the long series (behind C&C1/RA1). Most Shocking - the effect that the soundtrack has during the game. When you are flanked or suprise attacked, the music will change suddenly into a soviet ballet of terror. This immersed me as the player even more. The Soviet and Ally campaigns were slightly more compelling as well. I have not tried the multiplayer on this, and will not have time to. I can already tell that it is a simular science to C&C3 Tib. Wars which will make it very fun and can get a smart player hooked on beating the best in the world.
