Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: RA-2 is a really great game. It's very original.I love!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!!
Review: Renegade is going to set a new tone in the gaming world as far as graphics and online play go... they have been toiling over this game for years now making sure that they have gotten everything right and i am sure that westwood has gone above and beyond expectations with this game and they will do so in years to come! BUY RENEGADE!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just the best C&C game yet
Review: RA2 is the the best game out yet from westwood. It keeps up the tradition of awesome videos, and this is one of the only games I have that has single player missions worth playing. The storyline is the same as RA1, but all the new units are great. There isn't really any deformable terrain like it says (unless you count bridges and trees) and you can still build on huge craters in the ground. :) The expansion is the first RA game to have 3 sides, and it really rules. There are still rules.ini files for RA2 and also so awesome mods online, and you can still play well online with dial-up with hardly any lag.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Expantion Ever!
Review: I didn't think they could pull it off, but Westwood has crammed hundreds of awesome unusual things into the best game, making it even better. Yuri's revenge is a must have for RA2 fans, C&C fans, and just lovers of intense strategically action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I would give it six stars if i could
Review: RA2 Rocks if you like fast passed action, and first-rate animation. Loads of fun on or off line, two detailed campaigns, and excellent multiplayer support.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Another Multiplayer to Get! (Andrew plz grow up soon)
Review: C&C Ren. looks like another must buy game. I say this due to the fact that most of us FPS players will buy just because its a FPS (even tho Westwood says it isn't, cute tactic guys, in making all the non-FPS curious). All of the gaming reviews make it look good; and the vids I DL'd make it look Very Good.

Of course this depends on what type of player you are. If Sim City is more to your taste, then this might not be a game for you. But just because its a FPS (Sorta; 3rdP at times) doesn't mean you will like it. I love Ghost Recon, RS, RF, HL, Doom, etc. I don't really like games like Quake, T2 (endless ammo, super jumps,etc) I prefer more realistic action, but that is just me. With this said, lets get on with the review (Oh, I haven't played a demo so, ok... maybe not a real review)...

From what I have read and seen (DL'd vids) this game looks very good. But then we have all seen good movie previews and wished we hadn't wasted on the movie itself (sorta like the Robin Williams in Toys or the ending of A.I.)

The ultimate question is how the game will perform online in multi-play. Not to mention controls, flow of game, online interface, lag, etc.

Take controls for example, by looking at this game on the vids, it does rock, but if the controls are ass-backward, then it won't really matter how it looks. If there is lag and lots of bugs then you know what will happen...Lots of complaining, waiting for patches and looking to buy the next "awesome" game.

Anyway, I just hope this westwood game allows one to explore all the available terrain. Ghost recon kinda let me down in that some terrain would not allow a player access, even tho there was no "real" reason besides cutting corners to meet the release date. Don't get me wrong it is still a good game (Ghost Recon rocks in regards to realism and wide open playable spaces); I just hope renegade learned from other (games) mistakes.

Weapons look tight, but again the "Sniper Rifle" is present. Hopefully the game will provide enough distance for its "real" use. Nothing pisses me off more than a weapon that is present that can't really be used the way it was designed. CQC vs long range weapons: Crowded buildings, hallways and you pick up a sniper rifle; or the flame thrower that is more like a Bic lighter set on high (fun the first few times, but quickly thrown away cause a pistol kills in 3 shots) Not much use.

From the limited vids, it looks like there is some distance to warrant a sniper rifle but that is yet to be seen.

I am looking forward to this game for a few reasons. One, as a C&C fan. Two, as a FPS fan. Three, westwood didn't use an old engine, but made a new one and it should be better than those past. Four, being a futuristic type of game I'm sure the effects for weapons, explosions, etc, will rock.

The only con I see is the obvious...graphics and those opening day glithes that every game has when the first gamers go online to compete. (deathmatch, team matches, etc will allow lots of different types of play; hopefully the maps will be a plenty).

All in all a great way to sell this game to two groups of gamers. I would LOVE to get my hands on a demo and really provide a good review; maybe that chance will come.

Happy gaming, may this year be full of frags & tags,

STG

Summary: GET IT NOW!
Review: If you like C&C, this is even better than TS/Firestorm.
I was taking a chance to buy it, since Firestorm was sluggish
on the old dog, but it works with choppy video on my GATEWAY Pentium 166 (non-MMX), 128MB ram, no 3D card. Never tried net play but will need new puter first, I'm sure. Enjoy.

Summary: Ausom
Review: Mind Contral is asom. Makes all other teams better, and Yuis is the best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this game is the best
Review: this game is the best because not only does it ad on to red alert 2 its a whole other game ( it really deserves 10 stars)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is a great expansion pack for a great game. The story line plugs into the story line from RA2. You can be the allies or soviets. Theres a few missons where you go back to missions from original RA2 and be the soviets in that battle instead of the allies. Some of the new vehicles are cool and Yuri's troops and structures are strange, but cool. If you like RA or RA2 this is for you.
