Command & Conquer: Alarmstufe Rot 2 - Yuris Rache

This has got to be one of my favourite strategy games of in the history of RTS gaming. And kudos to the producers who made this masterpiece - they took the time, even for a game extension to give it a meaningful storyline with compelling characters and indeed, great actors to accompany the script.

I just wish that they still made RTS games like this and moreover, utilized realtime cutscenes instead of all this CGI nonsense. Hopefully one day Command and Conquer Red Alert universe will make its comeback - either in the form of a movie or television series. Anyway, one can only dream am I right?

It has been 20 years since its release. And I am very thankful to Westwood, the company which had released this magnificent game.

While being amazingly fun, I'd like to talk about its cinematics and storyline. One can not deny the fact that, for a game which was released in 2001 it has beyond spectacular cinematics. It's even better than most of the today's films. From Einstein to Premier Romanov, from Gen. Carwill to Yuri all the actors were tremendously good. And there is also Tanya, my childhood love :D. She is the best Tanya in the entire franchise by the way.

If it wasn't for EA this Red Alert series would be in much better shape today. It's a shame that Westwood unfortunately closed down.

Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge is like a massage to the foot of my brain. Not only was it awesome, but it also teaches us that Russians and mind-controllers are not only evil, but mean and deadly.

Check out Yuri's Revenge on the Weekend, YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

...so let's nuke the bastard. Choose from a variety of soldiers, weapons, and tanks, establish your base, build up your defenses, seek out the enemy and kick ass in whatever way you see fit. This game is hilarious, mind-bendingly re-playable, and a true classic. It never gets old. The voice work is fantastic, with such cult actors as Udo Kier and Kari Wuher, how can you fail? Sure the story is cheesy - that's the point. This is not a game with deep messages and outstanding realism or whatever the hell hardcore gamers crave these days - it's a completely off-the-wall strategy game in which lots of stuff blows up, the Allies' secret agent has bigger boobs than she has guns, Soviet intelligence wears leather, and a bald Russian maniac poses a threat to free will itself. If that description doesn't make you interested, avoid this game. Anyone who can't appreciate a war game where you can pit flying saucers against dinosaurs isn't worth talking to, anyway. Play this game! (r#73)

Red alert creates a fun cinematic universe that beats the Tiberium series by far. Not trying to bite off more than it can chew with the right amount of comedy, drama and fantasy
