You can play in the first or third person and you are on an all-out attack. Sometimes, this can be fun. You just turn your brain off, have fun, and shoot anything that moves.
Occasionally, you will have another objective like destroy a base, protect a civilian, and so on, but for the most part, you just keep shooting until you get to the end of a mission. I know this sounds basic, but it is quite fun and the campaign in Command and Conquer Renegade does not overstay its welcome. The game did have a multiplayer component, but it was not for me. This is called, Command and Conquer Mode and the idea is that you have one team playing as the good guys the GDI and the other as the bad guys the Nod.
You have to protect your own base, destroy the enemy one, or have the most points at the end of the battle. You can spawn vehicles, get upgrades, and so on.
It is like they tried to make a multiplayer shooter and sprinkle elements of the Command and Conquer series over it, but for me, it did not click at all and I could not get into it. It would be so easy to overlook this as a mistake in the franchise.
I feel that is a bit harsh as there is a lot of fun to be had with Command and Conquer Renegade. The voice acting is great. If you ask me, we were entering an age where voice acting was becoming better and better and this game has some very impressive performances.
I like the sound design in general as explosions, tanks and everything else all have some real heft to their sound effects. Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 is still so popular to this day because of the gameplay. I can see some people thinking that this kind of real time strategy action is a bit simplified and in comparison, to what some modern RTS games offer, it is.
However, I feel that there is the perfect blend of resource management, resource gathering, action, and micro-managing in this game. It never feels too overwhelming, even when you are getting a real beatdown, you never percent feel all is lost, and with the right move, you can make it happen.
I like to focus on building as many tanks as I can, but it is really up to you in how you go about the game. Each mission in the campaigns has its own set of objectives and some are more fun than others, but that is to be expected. As well as the campaign, you can play skirmishes against the AI or a buddy. The AI in skirmishes puts up way more of a fight than you would think. There are some games that you have great memories of, but they do not hold up all that well.
Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 is not one of those games! I found this to be just as much fun playing it now as it was back when it was released many years ago.
If I had to recommend just one game in the series, it would percent be this one. By making use of their different strengths and abilities, you can gain the upper hand over the other factions, as long as you remember to compensate.
Featuring the return of spice and sandworms. The alternate sequel to RA with even more wacky weapons and the introduction of mind control to the series.
