Summary
Red Alert 2 and its accompanying expansion, Yuri's Revenge, further established Electronic Arts' Command and Conquer series as one of the greatest in the age old RTS genre. The two games are now available in a single package, and providing you don't own the originals, we recommend you go out and buy them.
The Yuri's Revenge expansion pack was a direct follow up to the events that occurred in the first Red Alert 2 game, and as such, Red Alert 2 Gold can in many respects, be regarded as the ultimate Red Alert game.
The bundle comes complete with the combined features of both games, including dozens of allied units, Soviet units, single-player and multi-player missions, and extensive FMV sequences and narratives.
As usual, the gameplay is based primarily upon strategy. Command a series of 'army men' through a number of new hostile environments with minimal loss of life. You must successfully wipe the area clean of the opposition, but with limited supplies. The enemy will most likely attack in numbers, greatly outperforming your army, at least on paper. But as long as you use initiative, make quick decisions and make few mistakes, the challenge should be manageable.
If there are any more RTS masters in the making or any wannabe gamers looking to dip their toes into the pool of one of the most complex gaming genres in recent years, Red Alert Gold comes highly recommended.
