I was a 10 year old kid when Red Alert was released, and my native language is not English so I didn't understand much of the game's text or speech. I still really loved the game, it had astonishing graphics at that time imo, I really loved the Soviets vs Allies alternative future (or history) -theme... Yes the game was dark, gritty and pretty realistic in many ways. It really had a soul, it sure is one of the most memorable games I've ever played. I haven't touched RA2 or RA3, and I won't :p
That's why Blizzard waited 20 years to make a sequel of Starcraft, you can't just make a sequel (more like remake) of an EPIC game, and less the way EA made it. Man, EA, wtf did you do? you fucked up these series. The only one good thing after RA was released was its expansion, wich was made by Weestwood, and wich results funny because Starcraft had also an expansion with its respective new units.
oh ea game why did you take over red alert and turned it into baby dolphins with pillows and half naked bimbos with implants..why... I wish there was another game like this.
I know Red Alert was always a bit campy and over the top (with time travel and futuristic technology in the past), but for some reason I preferred the original approach, which seemed to at least be somewhat subtle about it. RA2 and RA3 just seem to have a whole different feel than the original.
@h3ym4n1c3sh0t good abilities in language translation and secret informations about allied movement on the german border, what did you think lol -_- !?
Best Cinematic ever seen in a game. I have played all Red Alert Games, nothing matches the original Cinematic in Red Alert 1. Seeing it again after these years bring shiver down my skin :-)
Lol you guys basing your political beliefs about communism on what you see here are just as bad as the people praising the USSR on some of the Red Alert/USSR anthem videos who talk about how awesome Soviet-R was. Instead of just going by what you see portrayed in video games and hear in the media, how about reading actual history and what Marx and "communist" leaders actually wrote? For those of you who have done this I have nothing but respect no matter w/your opinion is (Stalin WAS a monster.)
While I agree with your overall point, Stalin adhered far more closely to Marx, Engels, and his ideological predecessors than almost anyone cares to admit for whatever reason. For instance, take a look at the ethnic cleansing of the Ukraine, parts of the Baltic states, and a good chunk of Siberia by Lenin and Trotsky.
Stalin was a monster, but he was only the most obvious example, not the only one. And Marx and Engels were not as benign as they seemed if you actually DID read their literature.
I know quite MANY things about the USSR- from reading books and even firsthand- i even spoke with some victims of Stalin which survived.
And i didnt say something negative bout russia- i admire it as a greate European country which defeated the mongols- but that doesnt mean that Stalin and the bolshevik regime very good too!!!
Obviously, you have never studied the actual results of Soviet tyranny and Communism as a political system. Now, I do believe the numbers are rather inflated (taking the total who died for whatever reason in the time period rather than those whose deaths can be directly attributed to the subject in question), but on the whole they are fairly accurate.
@Denorius Yeah lets forget the genocides inflicted upon the native Americans by Western colonialists. Lets forget the millions of people the European nations brought under the iron heel of colonialism. Lets forget the centuries of slavery and slave trade conducted by capitalist Protestants in the US. Oh boy, good thing here in the west were the good guys and the East is nothing but a bunch of evil murders.
@Denorius Way to miss my point completely. I'm not trying to justify anyones atrocious deeds. If you had paid attention you'd have noticed I was trying to tell you that we in the West don't have the moral highground. We don't have the freekin right to condemn other people's actions after all the things we've done. Oh and blaming Asia and Africa for diseases that afflicted them 100x more than us, that's plain despicable of you
Even Marx and Engels themselves would have disagreed with that, because while its origin lay in the economic model, they recognized that a political framework was necessary to support it. Now, it may well be true that Marx and Engels never desired the political framework to extend as far as their supposed ideological heirs eventually went, that there would be a political framework was never really disputed.
Not so. While I personally believe that Fascism and Communism were indeed both offshoots of the Collectivist Left in authoritarian directions (and this is hardly an uncontested belief), they were distinctly antagonistic and mutually exclusive, as you would recognize if you ever studied Fascist and Communist propaganda and rhetoric. They did borrow quite a bit from each other, but in they end they were fanatical opponents.
I love RA1 it's t he most realistic of all Red Alerts! No of course RA2 & RA3 are fun too. But RA1 comes from the childhood.

EXACTLY this would have happened to Europe had Hitler never been borwn- Stalin would have tried to conquere it.
Everyone says how evil the Nazis were- thats true BUT the communists were AS EVIL AS THEM!!
Stalin and Lenin killed 50 MILLION of their OWN people in the USSR from 1920-1953 and Mao Zedong killed nearly 70 MILLION Chinese!!!
The Nazis murdered 15 Million people.
These numbers show that communism WAS AS EVIL AS NAZISM!!

The black death killed over 100 Mio people in EUROPE from 1348-1748.
In the same time period the black death killed some 25 Mio in the rest of the world...
I did get your comment bout the moral.
What I wanted to say with my comment is that every region/people commited great crimes.
