Command and Conquer: Red Alert is a classic. It is very fun, and easy to get used to and control. It is a fairly old game, so the graphics are not that great, but they are definetly useable. The sound is fine, from the popping of guns to the exploding tanks. The music isn't wonderful, but it fits. The lasting appeal is good because there are tons of maps and over LAN it would be really cool too. There isn't a whole lot to say except that this is a great game for the money it costs now, especially if you get the Aftermath expansion pack. If you are a strategy fan, this game is a classic strategy game. Tiberian Sun is better, but in my opinion is not worth the $$$. This game is. Think about it and download the demo. Also, if you have a slow or old computer, this game comes with a DOS version and a Win. 95 version on the same disk. The Win. 95 version is significantly better, but the DOS works. It also comes with two CDs so you can let a friend borrow a CD or play against a friend over LAN. A great game for when it was made.
Pros:
Very fun, adictive gameplay
Two CDs
Cheep
Cons:
Old game with old graphics
Sound is nothing special
Objectionable Content:
Lots of killing and fighting
When people die, they scream, fall over, and later disappear
A boring afternoon at the base without any action...yet.
