One of your advanced structures is called the Genetic Mutator, which targets your opponent's soldiers and mutates them into Brutes, powerful antitank soldiers that have more in common with the Incredible Hulk than the soldiers they used to be. The basic unit, called the Initiate, is a psychic trooper that uses pyrokinetic abilities to incinerate enemy troops. In addition to the normal Allied and Soviet forces, for multiplayer games you'll get access to Yuri's army, which specializes in strange technology and psychic ability. The Robot Control Center allows you to deploy Robotic Tanks, immune to the psychic mind control of Yuri's forces, while the Industrial Plant reduces the cost of Soviet vehicles and speeds their production. Yuri's Revenge adds new construction options in the form of the Allied Robot Control Center and the Soviet Industrial Plant. Energy is provided by simple power plants, and you can produce soldiers and vehicles with a Barracks and War Factory. It deploys into a large construction yard that you can use to construct your base. Keeping pace with the design standards of the original Red Alert 2, the new units (Yuri's forces included) don't unbalance the game and keep it moving at the same previously established blistering speed.Įach base is built around your MCV, or Mobile Construction Vehicle.
With bases on either side capable of producing new modules that expand their capabilities, along with the soldiers and vehicles that you use to staff your army, there's a wide range of attack and defense strategies to choose from. Red Alert 2 is a traditional RTS title, with a 3rd person overhead perspective view that lets you control units across a large map. Thrust into yet another pivotal battle to decide the fate of the world, you'll be able to see another chapter in the Command & Conquer universe, driven by a host of new missions and just as much FMV as the first game. Set in a fictional future where the Soviet Union has launched a surprise attack on the United States, Yuri's Revenge picks up just hours after the original Red Alert 2 ended. Yuri's Revenge is an expansion pack for the original Red Alert 2, and in the tradition of the original, it shines in all its campy glory.
What is cool, is that you have to really keep on top of your units and there is a very decent selection of them. You have to gather resources and manage your units. I would say that Command and Conquer Red Alert 2: Yuri’s Revenge is overall a better game than the base game. The gameplay has had a few changes over the standard Red Alert 2. You can control Yuri in the multiplayer mode and it is pretty awesome, but I think being able to play the story from his point of view would have been pretty cool. My only real criticism here is that I feel there should have been a third campaign where you could play as Yuri and control his forces. The stories were very different, but the units and the way the game unfolds, in general, is very unique. I really enjoyed how different the Allies and the Soviet stories were. You have two campaigns to play through and they both have a ton of missions for you to get through. This game is pretty stacked when it comes to single-player content. Two Campaigns Are Great, But Three Would Have Been Sweet!
RED ALERT 2 SERIES
The story unfolds very well and the cut scenes as is the case with the other games in the series are all very well done. Even now, all these years later I think that this is a game that is easy on the eyes. The presentation in the game at the time was very impressive.
