Command & Conquer Red Alert 2
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a real-time strategy
video game that was released for Microsoft Windows on October 25, 2000, as the
follow-up to Command & Conquer: Red Alert. Red Alert 2 picks up at the
conclusion of the Allied campaign of the first game. Its expansion pack is
Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge released a year later in 2001. Red Alert
2 was principally developed by Westwood Pacific in collaboration with Westwood
Studios.
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 contains two playable
factions, the Soviets and the Allies, which both previously appeared in Command
& Conquer: Red Alert. The single-player campaign is structured in an
alternate-ending mode as opposed to a progressive story mode. Like its predecessor,
Red Alert 2 features a large amount of full-motion video cutscenes between
missions and during gameplay, with an ensemble cast including Ray Wise, Udo
Kier, Kari Wuhrer, and Barry Corbin.
Red Alert 2 was a commercial and critical success, receiving
a rating of 86% from GameRankings. A sequel, Command & Conquer: Red Alert
3, was released in 2008.
