    They game is a faithful remaster of the original, with bonus content galore and modern quality of life features. They did a great job up-scaling the original videos, the will not win any awards, but for what they had to work with it is impressive. The soundtrack is amazing and graphically there is a clear upgrade while not throwing out the original style or feel (zoom in if you want to see more detail).

    At $20 bucks, this is well worth the money. 2 Complete games and all associated DLC are included. They even went and included content from the console version of the games that PC players originally did not have access to. Plus, the team worked with the community to create the remaster. So if you want a true "remaster" of a classic, and not a "re-imagining", grab this game and see how other companies should do it...    … Expand

    Faithful to the original even with all it's faults. That's fine with me though and the new graphics looks great. Hoping they remake the rest in the series!

    Well, where to start. I played dune 2 to the end of the world and back again. And I didn't get on the c&c train until RA2, which I loved from start to finish ( and later on generals, but thats anothert story).

I have later briefly played the original C&C and RA, but never got that much into it since i thought it was dated compared to RA2.. Then as an adult I bought the total collection and started playing again. This time; i also thought the early games was dated, but I suddenly discovered the quality and charm about them. I still played RA2 and Generals, but now I had a silent hope they would remaster the series. The hope strengthed when starcraft got its remaster and AoE 1 and later 2. SEing the great jobs the programmers did to those games made me wish a C&C remaster even more. Naturally I was estatic of the news of the remaster. And now it's here. Having more or less never played the original I was pretty excited and the expectations were maybe unfairly high. However I was not disappionted... At all. The intro was brilliant in every way and I emagine all of the 90'es players will sit and put on a nostalgic smile the entire lengh of it. I know i did. The graphic and interface is crisp and siuts the game well. the gameplay is what it is, with the slight bugs in AI and etc suiting and game from 95. And I didn't want it any other way. The quality of life additions to the UI and game it self is amazing and the outdatedness is almost terminated, but in a way where the game never looses its charm. I'm half into each of the four origian campaigns and loving it. This remaster has really brough the games quality back. graphics, sound, gameplay is as current as ever and with the original charm intact, this is a must buy for any RTS lover. Old og young. .. Now I just hope a RA2 and C&C TS is in the works... please...… Expand

    An excellent product for a very reasonable price with a lot of love and passion.

As someone who was played both games in and out for years, I can guarantee that this remaster is what all remasters should be: the ultimate experience without compromise with the ability to switch back between classic and remastered graphics. A ton of cool extra's like behind the scenes recordings of the fmv's and bonus tracks. The team behind this product really went the extra mile.

    They even left in bugs and exploits as the original. This is staying true, no doubt and I know that a lot of people will appreciate the original experience, warts and all. Still it would have been nice if they fixed these ancient issues and have an option to disable the fix. They did include all the code so that programmers can easily make mods to fix this, so thats a plus.

    I'll be honest I didnt expect this move from EA. I hope they keep this up! It's a long hard road out of hell but this is an excellent first step so kudos to EA for doing the right thing! (And f*** Konami and Blizzard for their cynical anticostumer practices and the s**t they pulled with their disgraceful butchering of Silent Hill and Warcraft 3 "remasters")    … Expand

    It reminded me why I fell in love with PC gaming. Rarely has a game been able to capture the imagination as well as Command & Conquer did. The game holds up amazingly well, the story is still engaging, the new remastered music is fantastic, and I can't wait for the next one. After Fallen Order, this is the second time EA has done right by us. Thank you!

This was something the game was undeniably lacking in Tiberium Dawn and Red Alert. Being able to seamlessly toggle between modern and legacy graphics is brilliant, so you can see how far the series has come from its infancy to now. So many cool features too, like the jukebox and being able to go back and do mission varients which couldn't be done in the original. For example in Red Alert where you have to help Tanya escape there are 3 different varients, and when you complete the first one you can go back and do the other two. This wasn't possible in the originals so a lot of thought has gone into this. I'll likely be playing this game for the next 10 years. An absolute bargain at £18. So much nostalgia!… Expand

    The installer and opening scenes cracked me up - I'm glad I don't have to screw around with sound cards and IRQs anymore... The gameplay is fun, and still difficult. These old games have stood the test of time and are far more better than anything that's been released in the last few years. Thanks for remastering this game!

    Wonderful, fantastic and fun. I feel like I'm back in 1995 again. Sure, it's a bit clumsy in some places but it's a remaster, not a remake and that's what makes this release perfect. I really hope they take the time to remaster Red Alert 2 and Command & Conquer Generals as well.

    Kane lives! We must continue the fight against the GDI oppression!

It is a remaster perfectly made of both games with so many bonus functions of flavors, etc., which is very positive. A very nice surprise was also the multiplayer mode in which it was very fun to play, anyway you can feel that it is a 30-year-old game but the developers did a great job in this respect. This is a perfect remaster, it has all the inaccessible additions from the ps1 version, it improves the graphics interface, it adds a lot of flavors for older players and cool features like changing graphics in real time, the whole thing with soundtracks, etc., custscenes are uncompressed and in super quality. I recommend and for those who played this title from the 90s and also to new players. A remake for five with a plus.… Expand

    Given the fact it's a mid 90 game, they made it amazing.

    Let's hope in a future patch the pathfinding could improve but again, mid 90's game.

    While adding remastered graphics and a modern UI, Remastered Collection avoided dealing with 20-year old shortcomings of the original game, like poor pathfinding for infantry and harvesters, for instance. On the other hand, these flaws will definitely make your missions much more exciting on higher difficulty settings.

    C&C was difficult not because of good AI or interesting tactical puzzles, but due to poor usability. With modernized interface, it’s a walk in the park, and will be enjoyable only as long as nostalgia lasts. [Issue#247, p.44]
