Rating: Summary: so-so Review: This game was mediocre. It was fun shooting and fun playing but if you're an online player you may have difficulties. Bit laggy online and I'm running 1.06 GHz Intel Pentium Processor. If your internet library doesn't install like it didn't for some of my friends you're pretty much SOL because westwood support is nearly impossible to get through to. They do not answer/respond via phone or email. Took them 3 weeks to have them tell me they will sort out my problem within a week. That kind of bull is not needed if you want to spend 45 dollars on a game. Anywho, if you wish to buy it, it's a good game, just if it doens't work, return it!
Rating: Summary: Command & Conquer Renegade is ILL Review: Hey wuz up, Command & Conquer Renegade is the best Command & Conquer game EVER!!!!! I love the weapons like the Ion Cannon Beacon, the A-10 Bomber (which you can only get in multiplay) and the Laser Cannon!!!!! Those weapons are SWEET. I strongly suggest that anyone who is a Command & Conquer fan or likes 1st person shooters this game is for you!!!!! The story line is excelente and the graphics are great and you can take control of all your favorite Command & Conquer vehicles. THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: The Greatest multiplayer C&C ever Review: The game is not one to do campaign missions with, I beat red alert2 but this is inserpassible, I'm stuck on level 3 on both sides. Pluss there is no campaign for Yuri, He just kills you in all the levels. On the other hand, the multiplayer obsesses me. You can be Yuri's army yeilding mind burning infantry, brutes, Genetic mutators and phsychic dominators. The allies have a few new weopons of destructon such as robot hover tanks that cannot be mind controlled and Gaurdian GI's with anti tank weopons in gaurding position and machine guns when walking. The soviets get spy planes to uncover lots of land and Boris who is the soviets call to Tanya. He calls in MIG's to destroy a selected target. The multiplayer capabilities make it a must have game
Rating: Summary: THE BEST STRATEGY PC game ever! Review: This game blows all others away with great graphics, cool new catch frases when you click on units, and an almost endless amount of new units and buildings. You get nuke silo's and weather machines but those are only a few of the buildings. You go through an epic struggle to defeat the allies, or defeat the soviets who have a powerful mind controling weopon who's name is Yuri. It is definitely beatible because I beat the game with the allies. Whether you want to win with the prism defense systems of the allies or the tesla technology of the soviets, There is no end to the excitement of beating the 20 levels or so on either team.
Rating: Summary: What a disappointment Review: This game is truely a disappointment. Support from Westwood is nearly impossible to get. The game is still full of bugs after 4 months and 2 patches.
Rating: Summary: Very good game if you are into C&C Review: Its awesome to finally be able to drive the tanks and shoot the weapons in first person mode. I just hope they expand it.
Rating: Summary: Good Game, Only if westwood.... Review: It is a very good game but only if westwood would support it further than they have(2 patches) the game would be the best game ever. It is very laggy on the internet but again westwood hasn't tried to fix this. The game is very high end so you might have to get a new computer to run the game. I give it 5 stars in spite of the problem's that westwood has failed to fix in the 4 months of renegade being out.
Rating: Summary: Good in some ways, cheesy in others Review: Yuri's Revenge is the expansion pack for Red Alert 2. Red Alert 2 was a good game, where you needed to build your army not only to maximum effeciancy, but also as fast as possible. Yuri's Revenge (YR) inherits many of Red Alert 2's (RA2) many strengths and many weaknesses.The story is now almost totally mind control this, mind control that. RA2 had many mind control elements in it, but it wasn't the focus of the game's story. It all starts when Yuri, the former mind-controlling psychic Soviet commander, sets up a strange invention called a Psychic Dominator on Alcatraz Island. Along with two other devices in Antartica and Egypt it can mind control all the world. This is found out by Allied intelligence, and an air strike is sent to blow it up. The air strike only succeeds in shutting off power for the device. The other two activate and mind control 2/3 of the world. To prevent this disaster from ever happening, the US army and the remnants of the Soviet army bot travel back in time using a top-secret time machine. There are 14 missions, 7 for the Allies and 7 for the Soviets. Most of them aren't terribly harder than any of the RA2 ones. Most of them are something like "Yuri has mind controlled [insert city here]. Destroy his secret base!" You can play as Yuri's strange, mind-controlled army too, but there are no missions for him. One of the things I dislike about this expansion pack is that it's well...too jokey. If I want some laughs I'll watch a comedy movie or play Worms. In one mission (Allied #2) you get to command 3 movie stars if you advance to certain locations. Oh, come on! And the jokes are carried out cheesily, too. This sort of gets in the way of the military feel that C&C is supposed to have. There are four new Allied units (Guardian G.I., SEAL, Robot Tank, Battle Fortress) and one new Allied structure (Robot Control Center). The SEAL was in the original RA2, also, but you couldn't build him in multiplayer. Or something like that. There are three new Soviet units (Boris, Spy Plane, Siege Chopper) and two structures (Battle Bunker, Insustrial Planet). Boris is the new Soviet "hero unit," like Tanya is for the Allies, because Yuri can't be one for the Soviets anymore. In all, there are seven new units and three new structures, plus Yuri's army. Yuri's army is all about mind control, genetic mutation, cloning, and (believe it or not) magnetism. It's almost impossible to use spies on him, since they'll get mind controlled. The usual "T" rating was given to this game for "violence." That's what it says on the insignia. There is no blood, gore, or bodies in this game, but people do get killed.
Rating: Summary: Command and Conquer Again. Review: This game is based, of course, off of Red Alert, which came out in around 1997. Well, sadly, since then the Command and Conquer series hasn't changed at all. This game just takes the Tiberian Sun engine and gives it a small visual overhawl but has bascially the same units and builds except instead of NOD and GDI it's now Russia and America. However, this game does have some qualities that give it three stars. Things like the wonderful movies and story line that goes with it, espically if you play the Russian side (which gives a transition into the Expansion Pack). However, you will find that the game play puts you to sleep after a few missions, and that in the end they're all the same. Pros: Good Movies Interesting Story Line Cons: Over done battle engine. Reused Missions Same "Build and Rush" tactics in the game.
Rating: Summary: A Good Game Review: RA2 is, overall, a good game. But, things could be improved. The game was not all that different from the first RA. It has the same Allies VS. Soviet that the first one had, althogh with different and probably more units. The graphics were better and so were alot of the options for multiplayer and singleplayer. I think the soundtrack was ok but could have been improved. If you liked the first one you'll like this one.4 stars is what I think, a well deserved rating. Again it was an overall good game but, I'm looking forward to the changes there going to put into the Generals. {For info on Generals go to Planet CNC.} I liked it because of the strategy used it was a well evened out {not one side was better, you pretty much used your preference} and the fun I have playing it especially over the internet. I reccomend this game to people who are looking for strategy not something different from some other CNC games. No offense to Westwood. And i'm 13.
