One of the greatest RTS games out there
Gameplay: Simple game to understand pick up and start playing. The campaign actually requires alot of strategy while the skirmish mode requires the strategy to overwhelm your enemies with sheer numbers and advanced tech. So this game doesn't offer all that much depth but enough of it to make this one of the funnest games I've ever played.
Value: There is plenty of replayability in this game. You can play through the campaign, side missions, or just play a skirmish match. The campaign is fun and so are the missions but the skirmish you can do over and over again. Red Alert offers plenty of different maps and the games you play can last hours depending on how many players are in the game.
Graphics: The graphics were great way back in the day but now days they aren't too great but still work well enough for anyone who considers themselves open-minded. If you complain about the graphics for this game I'd understand but passing up this game because its graphics suck really is a poor reason to miss this game.
Sound: The sound for this game is really good I think though by todays standards most people would probably say the audio is pretty crappy but I thought it worked well then and I still do.
C&C Red Alert is the best C&C game I've ever played and also the best RTS I've ever played and is reccommendable to any RTS fan.
