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!
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.
Is there a way to run actual windows on the mac and do it that way? I'm not the most computer saavy person these last couple of years but I can certainly follow youtube directions.The presentation in the game at the time was very impressive.
Would it be insane to buy a used PC laptop on craigslist or something? I loved playing this game so very much and I would go so far as to drop some scratch to be able to play it again. Wine doesn't work with Mojave and above (a newer Mac OS).
I've bought the CC 17-game-pack from Origin and tried using Porting Kit, but it seems that the new Origin download is too "new". I've watched a couple of youtube videos and read several posts on this subreddit, but they are all dated and I can't get them to work unfortunately. It's actually the only video game I've ever been "into" aside from halo a few years back, as well as my roommate's call of duty. Hey all! I played Red Alert 2 years ago with a whole bunch of my neighborhood friends.
