The Bottom Line: BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!IT RUNS A LITTLE CHOPPY ON MY COMPUTER BUT I STILL PLAY IT FOR HOURS! BUY IT NOW!
If you played and enjoyed playing any other Red Alert games, i guarantee you will think this game blows away the earlier ones. I don't even know where to begin with how amazing this game is. There is so much more you can do. So many new units. Better graphics.
There is so much variety in the game. So much more variety in the maps, airforce,and the tanks. I find it very hard to get bored of any of the maps they give you, and i find it almost impossible to ever get bored of the game itself. Since this game does have a pretty big variety for all aspects in each General you choose, I would give it a 4 out of 5 for the learning difficulty only because each general has different tanks and different infantry and airforce, but it shouldn't take that long, and if you were good at the other command and conquer games, it should be easy. The 3 Generals each how different special weapons. The US has a particle cannon, which shoots a laser down anywhere on the map and you can control it for around 10 -15 seconds. The GLA(Global Liberation Army) has a SCUD storm, which fires 8 missiles anywhere on the map of course. And finally, of course, China, which of course, has the Nuke which leaves toxins in a large area for a while making it extremely extremely annoying.
The 3 Generals you can choose from each have different special tactics:(Everything is pretty self explanatory but i will give you a quick and simple run down of it)
USA
Airforce General-airforce is stronger and cheaper
Laser General-uses lasers for accurate attacks, and improvements in power
Super Weapon General-Particle Cannon cost half normal price
GLA
Demolition General-specializes in bombs
Stealth General-improvements in camouflaged units
Toxin General-specializes in toxins(can completely wipe out infantry General)
China
Infantry General-you start with stronger, cheaper infantry
Tank General-you start with stronger and cheaper tanks
Nuke General- uses nuclear weapons, improvements in power
There is so much to this game than the others, so many new attacks, and new strategies you can use. I really do give this game like a perfect 10 out of 10. I can play this game for hours on end. I always find out something new everytime I play. Another really good thing about this game is playing the computer. When I played a hard computer for the first time it is pretty challenging, and still is, so you won't get bored playing with the computer. GET THIS GAME NOW! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!
