    Although set in a different time period very similar gameplay to the first command and conquer. Story is just ok.

    It's not that I really liked that game, but I tried it not at its time and didn't played for a long time, so can be more subjectively to graphic and game-play levels. In general I remember that it was very good classic RTS for many people with interesting story, so I decided not to brake rating to that game, so it will be average.

    Suffice it to say that if you like strategy, military tactics, or liked the original game, you will love Red Alert.

    While perhaps not upgrading the original Command & Conquer engine as much as some would have liked, its clean graphics, crackerjack music score and immersive sound effects all make for a game that's great fun to play...and that's what it's all about, isn't it?

    Red Alert will be like by the legions of the faithful, and win new converts as well. [Dec 1996, p.238]
