Naturally, it makes selecting individual units difficult at times -however, the ability to create three tabbed groups on the left side of the screen prevents crowding from being a game-killing issue.Ī diverse list of infantry, vehicular, and aerial units promotes a range of strategic options.
Then there's crowding that results in several units bunching up into one big indistinguishable mess. The camera, which crawls across the map when you flick a finger across the screen, could be better.
These strengths, however, are not without flaw.

Troublesome path-finding, basic missions, and lack of multiplayer raise an iron curtain between graphics and gameplay, accessibility and complexity.Īll of the elements are here for stellar strategy, yet they aren't exploited to the fullest extent. With a great presentation and controls, this ambitious real-time strategy game rushes forward with an eye for easy play over depth. If Command & Conquer: Red Alert at all mirrors what once was the strategic acumen of the Soviet Union, then it's no wonder they lost the Cold War.
