Rating: Summary: The best game of the century! Review: ....I have been wanting this game forever! I'm glad I got it. The graphics, units, and theidea in genral. It was great! Order it with rush delivery!
Rating: Summary: Unbelievable; 'nuff said Review: Could this be the most addictive game of all time? It certainly feels like it, and it has that office space feel to it that really sets the atmosphere for such an epic game. Command & Conquer 1 was a revolutionary game, and this game continues the legacy. Red Alert's story is engrossing in and of itself (start playing and find out), but the strategy and various battle mechanisms that really make this game a treat. In Red Alert, you are playing against an enemy but against the clock. The game is a frenetic quest to build up your units before the other side decides to attack, and the multiplayer mode only increases the the urgency. The Arsenal Pack is well-designed in and of itself - it includes the regular game plus an additional mission disc called The Aftermath, which also gives you 150 additional multiplayer maps. I strongly suggest the Arsenal Pack now that The Domination Pack (which also included the Counterstrike mission disc) is no longer in stock.

Rating: Summary: Great value...!!! Review: Except for the $10 jewel case for total annililation and maybe starcraft there is no better value in gaming. Red alert alone is a great game with solid balanced units and structures and fun entertaining and challenging missions. Add aftermath and counterstrike and you have hours of great game play. While this is a an older game you really don't think much about it. The graphics still are decent and the game play is smooth. Certainly this game doesn't need much computer or video card to function well and still there are hundreds of players ready to take you on at either westwood.com or mplayer . In red alert ore is the heart of your strategy. Controlling and dominating the ore on the map is the key. This might be a shock to age of empires or total annililation fans who are used to producing vast amount of resource in camp. No in red alert you send out defenseless ore trucks to harvest and protecting them becomes harder as the game progresses and the trucks have to go further away from the confines of your camp. While you can eventually build an mcv and start a second camp you have nowhere the flexability or mobility you have in those other games. The worst is when you start a second camp only to have it destroyed and all that money was wasted because it is very difficult to protect more than one camp so try and conceal it if you can. The units while not as numerous or interesting as TA are more than adequate. The soviets(russia or ukraine) have the bigger tanks and the better air force while the allies(england,france,germany) have smaller quicker tanks with the superior navy. The concept is cold war not WW2 as some have said. Germany is an ally while the soviets are the enemy. Now i don't actually own this package rather i have owned the components for years. My question for those who actually own this package is whether it all comes on one disc or not. I have counter strike and aftermath but i don't have access to both at the same time. If all of those units and missions are available on the same disc it only makes the package an even better value. ...................socks
Rating: Summary: good game but dated Review: I believe that this is the Command & Conquer Red Alert Arsenal which is the Red Alert Game along with the Aftermath add on disc. If so, this was a really cool game for it's time. It is a real time strategy game, a genre made popular by the original Command & Conquer game. I really enjoyed it. Since it came out, it has been greatly surpassed by newer games including Starcraft and Homeworld and more recently by even better games like Shogun and Red Alert 2. If you want the newest, latest game, this is the wrong game. If you don't care about having the most current thing or have an older computer that can't handle the newer games, this game can provide hours of fun. It is especially good as a multiplayer game.

Rating: Summary: BE WARE! Review: I bought The Arsenal pack for 10 bucks. I loved playing the red alert games and i always loved the original. But when i went to install I was disapointed that it would not work on my XP operating system. I thought Xp was pretty compatable with everything but i guess not this game. This is the first time i ever said this. But make sure ur OS (operating system) is below windows 98!

Rating: Summary: very nice game Review: I bought this game because my friend told me about it. Am I glad I did!! Its one the best strategy games out there. You have to a variety of stuff in the game. You have to control and build weapons (tanks, rangers, etc.). You also have to do a lot of other stuff as well. I suggest that you buy this game no matter whats your age. Its definately one of the best games ever. Plus it comes with three CD's - Aftermath, Allied Disc, and Soviet Disc.
