When you review a game - or at least when I do - one essential technique is to jot down pages of notes while you're playing, so when it comes to writing the review, you can refer back to them.
Normally what is written down, though illegible, makes some sort of sense, but one of the last things I wrote was 'missions good. Nothing special. I am at a loss as to what I was on about, but I can tell you this: the missions in themselves are pretty undemanding, yet taken as a whole and separated by a story that sees the USA being invaded the two campaigns on offer you can play as Allies or Soviets are very engaging.
As is par for the course, you build a base, harvest ore, expand your borders and kill the unending trickle of enemy units until you overrun their base, all with scant regard for tactics - been there done that, we all have. With that in mind, what has been baffling me is why I enjoyed Red Alert 2 so much and yet could not derive any pleasure from Tiberian Sun.
Both games are practically identical in structure, offering similar units to play with across a linear series of missions, liberally interspersed with high-quality video sequences. The only answer I can offer is a subtle difference in feel and mood. Where Tiberian Sun was a dark and faintly absurd yarn full of square-jawed heroes and boo-hiss villains, Red Alert anti its illustrious predecessor are somehow believable, despite being even more outlandish.
Graphically, Red Alert 2 is far from great. The animation for some of the larger units, ships especially, is juddery and the explosions are hardly spectacular. However, bearing bright colours and full of tiny details - like baseball and football pitches, fast food bars and houses - many levels are full of civilian life that have little impact on the game, but add a touch of fun to the proceedings.
Sunbathers run half-naked on the beaches and cattle make themselves targets for your restless attack dogs on the farms. Elsewhere, across maps frozen with ice, all the buildings are draped with snow as if to fool us that they had been there forever. They haven't of course, but it's seemingly insignificant details like this that add a bit of colour to our interminably dull lives. In regard to the two sides you can choose to play, both are as distinct as any you'll find in a real-time strategy game.
Featuring challenging missions as well many new units. A massive stand-alone total conversion of Tiberian Sun featuring a new story, campaigns and tons of new units. The Allies and the Soviets have rearmed with new weapons of war, each poised to destroy the other. The Soviets frantically set up their base. In version 1. Allied and Soviet themes.
They can be applied to Windows 95, 98, Me, , and XP. Actions develop in the parallel universe created by Einstein, while continuing the storyline of the first part. Changes in the plot touched some units, the tank was given a new name - Apocalypse.
The new version has significantly improved the interface and updated graphics. Units began to be divided into infantry and armored vehicles, industrial-scientific and defensive buildings appeared. The line infantry got the opportunity to fight and shoot directly from the premises in which it can now accommodate.
