About this product

Product Information

Command & Conquer: Red Alert is the sequel to Westwood Studios' real-time strategy war game Command & Conquer. Although a sequel, the game itself deals with the world as it was leading up to conditions relevant to and introduced by the original title. Pertaining to a timeline, then, one should view Command & Conquer: Red Alert as a prequel. <br><br>In the "what if" alternate-history universe portrayed in Command & Conquer: Red Alert, World War II was not initiated by Germany under the leadership of Adolph Hitler but was a blight on mankind authored by the rise of Russia's Joseph Stalin instead. The war itself happens but the driving factor is the invasion of Europe by Soviet forces, thus the significance of the title "Red Alert".<br><br>As in the original game, Command & Conquer: Red Alert supports multi-player action but doubles the number of possible players (from four to eight) via a LAN or the Internet. The game features many new enhancements including a much more detailed level of unit command on land, in the air or at sea, a practice option (Skirmish Mode) and a choice of playing as either Soviet or Allied forces, each with 13 specific missions. Additionally, the game introduces a large number of new units and structures ranging from attack dogs to Chronosphere Generators. <br><br>The game's real-time aspect is preserved and gameplay includes appearances of both famous and infamous historical figures. Command & Conquer: Red Alert has a dedicated web site containing such extras as a "War Factory" for learning about the various vehicles (helicopters, mine layers, tanks, submarines, missile launchers and more) available during gameplay and a "Research Archive" that offers information on weaponry. Special software designed for chatting with other fans of the game can also be found at the site.
