Yeah, I know it's not a REAL strategy game, but then the C&C/Red Alert games never were. You can't say it isn't true to the series. And yeah, I get that it is totally derivative of earlier C&C games too, even though it is IMO a massive improvement on the last actual C&C game, Tiberian Sun.
So why the hate for this game? My policy is to wait 2 years after release for low priority games (which this admittedly is) to reach the bargain bin. So I picked it up the other day for $12, patched up to 1.09 and off I go.
From a single player perspective, there is a lot to enjoy. I think there are something like 38 SP missions. The GDI campaign is varied and sometimes amusing, and the cutscenes are even enlivened by the Lando Calrissian actor. He's a walking self-parody - appalling actor.
Anyhow, I just wanted to know if anyone else got any joy out of this. It's seems like a pretty amusing 'strategy lite' romp without brains but with lots of things to blow up. Thoughts?
