mm…. I don’t now if I’m going to like it, I loved 2 and yurí revenge, but the rest kinda sucked. Nobody tops Frank Klepacki!Log in to see images!

They should have made Red Alert 2 a different series, since I like the others and think RA2 “kinda sucked” as well as looked “kinda cartoony” compared to the originals. The originals were mainly for hardcore RTS fans, but I dunno what crowd they were aiming at with RA2 – nearly everyone I’ve met who likes it either hasn’t played the originals or aren’t fans.

RA2 & RA3 are more like comic book versions of C&C. Supervillains with mind control trying to take over the world as opposed to militant factions?

RA2 had a lot more units/items that were like “That makes no sense whatsoever, but why the hell not?” Like tank bunkers, infantry grinders, mind-controlled animals, slow-moving yet somehow armored (and still flying!) blimps.

But I still think what bothers me the most is that it fails to tie in to any of the C&C games (including RA1).

EDIT: You probably will like RA3. Hardcore C&C fans have C&C3 to play (and maybe Generals 2 in the future).
