I played many other real-time strategy computer game but I do not feel the "X Factor" excitement as this one. From the moment of installation which has a nice song till finish installation it gave the feeling of you are inside the story. I do not really care much about the acting of the actors as this is a review of the game and not the movie. This game had great storylines, missions and most importantly many skirmish maps and modded extra missions which you can download from the fans/C&C community WEB sites. I had never bored playing this game and still playing till now (June 2012). Thank's to the fans and C&C community on this. There is no doubt that Red alert 3 and its expansions Uprising had a much better graphics. But Red Alert 2 & Yuri revenge definitely had a better story lines and missions. I wish they could be reproduced or remastered it in a better graphics. Command & Conquer 3 and 4 are not even close to compare. I played Command & Conquer 4 and stop at mission 3 or something. I have no interest to continue anymore. Command & Conquer 3 is a much better version than Command & Conquer 4. Red alert 3 is a much better version than any Command & Conquer series. Red Alert 2 Yuri Revenge is the winner of all.… Expand

    If Red Alert 2 on its own is one of the most amazing games ever made, Yuri's Revenge makes it just all that much better. Amazing three-way balancing and the introduction of the innovative new Yuri faction, Yuri's Revenge adds so much to an already near-perfect formula.

    I can't believe that I'm still playing this game to this day, but Yuri's revenge got what it takes to be worthy of this incredibly long lifespan.

    This addon is just as good as a addon can be. New units, campaigns, cutscenes. Everything done in the same good quality like the original game. Just fun to play.

    While I didn't much care for the storyline in the campaign, the new Yuri faction is a really fun addition to an already-awesome game. This expansion adds a whole new army with interesting new abilities, such as mind-control, unit recycling, and gravity-warping. I was never keen on playing as Yuri in multiplayer, but always found it to be fun when just messing around in skirmish.

    With yuri character the game being good. Yuri can control other unit, is difficult to kill yuri alone. The storyline about soviet, allied, and yuri make this game better.

    This game stands the test of time. It still has strong replay over a decade later. It is particularly awesome in network multiplayer for its gameplay. The map variations, units, etc. There are some quirky interface controls, esp. if you are used to game releases in recent years. The voices, the acting, the humor are exceptional. Great game, if you can find it.

    One of the best expansions in RTS history.
    New campaign is great, with addition to new Yuri fraction and his new units :)

    The missions were ok, but they were all the same old usual C&C type stuff. The acting was terrible though.

    Everything that is good about this expansion really should have been in the original game in the first place.

The main justification for this expansion was that Westwood wanted to turn their Warcraft-esque game into a Starcraft-esque game. They had their Terran and Protoss, and wanted to add a Zerg. It doesn't stand on its own two feet and isn't really worth the price unless you get it bundled free with the original game, or wait for it to become freeware like the original Red Alert has.… Expand

    Follow up expansion to one of the most fun strategy games I have played, beautiful maps to conquer for your soviet or allied lords, and NOW YURI, along with interesting units and weaponry! Did I like it? YES.

    I have this game for nearly 7 years now and it still rocks. The missions are not as amazing as in the original 'Red Alert 2' but all the new unit makes up for that. Even if you get bored after 7yrs there are hundreds of mod out there with hundreds of new units. I can't believe WESTWOOD is no more.

    It's the first and only time that a RTS expansion pack is better than the original. Despite 14 missions and no Yuri campaign, this game owes up with a lot of new interesting stuff, including the Yuri faction. However, there were some unbalanced issues that didn't quite get the gameplay going.

    As I wrote to the original game: "One of the best strategies of my time that I have ever played. This is just a bomb among the strategies.

A masterpiece of the classics of its time".
    ...I will add only a few things: It is a completely independent game, with its own company and many changes in fractions. And all these changes, without exception, gave to the game only the benefits. Yuri’s revenge is no less a masterpiece than the original game. I would even say that in terms of game-play it is even better, since it complemented much of what its original brother lacked a little.    … Expand

    The expansion pack to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 called Yuri`s Revenge can totally keep up with the main game. Highly addictive as usual. Check it out!

    Well.. the Game is just a masterpiece for its time. But it is also still playable, thanks to many modifications. In General, I spent my childhood so well that today I can go and play.
    It is also worth noting a company that is developing properly. Everything is very interesting and chic!

    Still a great RTS that I enjoy playing online to this day. It has variety of play-styles and maps for multiplayer and an entertaining, albeit silly campaign story.

    There are no bugs or technical problems, the production values are excellent, and the gameplay is fun. What more could you want? Well, ok, a longer single-player experience would be nice.
