Red Alert belongs in the same category as "Civilization II" and "Quake," games that followed legendary predecessors and immediately eclipsed them. One can only wonder where Westwood can take us from here.
-
TotalGames.netWith lusciously detailed graphics and some superb sound FX and music rounding the game off, Red Alert looks destined to follow "Dune II" and "Command and Conquer" straight into the Westwood hall of fame.

PC GamerRed Alert will be like by the legions of the faithful, and win new converts as well. [Dec 1996, p.238]
-
It not only completely satisfies the wants of any eager strategy player, it also covers those who like more action in their games, and then appeals to practically everyone in between. If you don't have Command & Conquer, buy this immediately.
-
Suffice it to say that if you like strategy, military tactics, or liked the original game, you will love Red Alert.
-
While perhaps not upgrading the original Command & Conquer engine as much as some would have liked, its clean graphics, crackerjack music score and immersive sound effects all make for a game that's great fun to play...and that's what it's all about, isn't it?
-
A lackluster second offering when so much more could be done with the Command & Conquer universe, but just see how much damage I do to you if you take it away from me.

Jun 7, 2020I liked this one mostly for its style and setting, but its the same game as the original, with new paint, music score and balance nuances.
