I really wish I could still recommend people this game. It's not the game it once was. And it's sad because it was good, but the bots and the lack of care ruined it.

My apologies, the problem seems to have been sorted, the game is really good but EA still need to take care of it properly when possible.

The original of Red Alert was the first game I ever played when i was younger. I was 4 at the time (very irresponsible of my dad I know but we didn't have online back then) and I hopped onto his PS1 for a game of Red Alert with his supervision. I really enjoyed it. That enjoyment is still with me as I play this remastered version of the game I used to play all those years later. But enough about my past and enjoyment. This is why I recommend C&C remastered.

I like the idea of the fact you can put any song from both parts of the game and put them into a custom playlist. Although to be honest, all of the music is great, why would you separate the songs?

Secondly, the gameplay is the same as it was all those years ago. Imperfect but in a way that you would love to play. You get to train your troops, you command them to conquer your enemies, hence my take on the game's name. Also, on Red Alert, each country has it's own perk that they get (for example England has 10% armour or something like that I can't exactly remember.) The reason why I am saying the game play is the way it should be because EA have, for once, done something right and remastered the game in a way that Activision would be ashamed of themselves for. The only difference is that I am using a keyboard and mouse now compared to the PS1 controller back then. xD

Thirdly, the campaign of the game includes everything from the old games, which is a treat seeing as some of the missions I never got to play on this or on CNCNet when that was a free mod. Like the ants missions for example, that was a really good idea to put in, as crazy as that sounds.

Finally, the downsides, yes the frames can be a bit meh at times, sometimes the game feels a bit slow, and I've seen some people complaining about black screens. But all in all I have had no problems with playing this game and I can't wait to play more of this, and eventually, have my ass handed to me online.

To sum this rather skewed review up, a imperfect game, master perfectly. I would pay 2x the price for this remaster, so getting it at £17.99 is a steal. 10/10 would recommend

Everything behind the standard edition is behind a paywall, not to mention the mechanics on this game feel really rugged. I played this on PS4 and it was bad and I expected it to be better optimised on PC. Boy I was wrong. I also had some French guy just spamming one move. Is this really what Street Fighter has become? Refunding this ASAP

A old relic brought back to life due to a exceptional attempt of a remaster. The game that I wish I'd played when I was younger (I started RTS games like this with Empires DMW and Age of Empires 3) is as good as what I'd imagine it to be. Although I've only played a hour, I know I will enjoy this for a while. Get this game whilst it's around, and play this recovered gem.

Although the community can be quite toxic, the game is smoother on here than most Call of Duty games on PC. And if it wasn't titled Call of Duty it would probably sell more.

7/10 quite good and playing again

Very relaxing and a great concept, usually boring to drive trucks around but this makes it interesting. Also makes you see the struggles through the eyes of the trucker. 10/10 would buy next ETS

Early Access Review
This game has some minor issues, such as the zombies spawn way too quickly and, on average they run that little bit faster than you can run. Apart from this, this game is brilliant in both innovation and productivity.

8/10 would buy if it was fully functional and paid for. Since it's free, it's 9/10 :3

It's such a shame that online runs out at the end of the month. And that we had to wait a bit for the keys... But in my eyes, this game is definitely worth looking back on. Best Star Wars game ever. Hours of countless fun and you can even get more maps (I think) Make sure that you buy this ASAP
