The original Red Alert's storyline actually took place before that of the first Command & Conquer, and so it is with this one. Set some time after World War II it has the Soviets invading America, making use of mind-control to raise an army, and utilising a range of building and unit types that blend retro with sci-fi in a brilliantly inventive way. The game utilises the Command & Conquer 2 game and graphics engine, while further improving the visual look with more varied terrain, new special effects, and noticeably more units involved in the action.
