Command & Conquer: Red Alert

188 - Command & Conquer: Red Alert

Year: 1996
Platform(s): PC
Designer(s): Adam P. Isgreen, Michael Lightner, and Erik Yeo
Developer: Westwood Studios
Publisher: Virgin Interactive

"It's comparatively weak multiplayer meant that it never attained the broad success of StarCraft, yet Command and Conquer's Red Alert spinoff series wins major points for its engaging single player campaigns, which are even more impressive for utilizing live action video cutscenes in a way that actually doesn't make players want to claw out their eyeballs. In fact, the story is pretty great, featuring an alternate 1950s world where Albert Einstein went back in time, eliminated Hitler, and inadvertantly allowed Stalin's Soviet Union to invade Europe. After that, well, it starts getting weird." - Scott Sharkey, GamePro
