Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: The Soviets are back, this time on American soil, and their mysterious mind-control technology is turning Americans into mindless automatons. Take up arms for the Red, White and Blue, or just the Red. Whatever your allegiance, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 pushes the frontier of real-time strategy gaming.

Command & Conquer: Renegade is a fast-paced 3D action game set in the gripping Command & Conquer universe. For the first time, experience the Command & Conquer universe up-close and personal as you fight it out on the ground among the structures, vehicles and weapons made famous in the original game. You assume the role of Havoc, elite GDI commando who fights and explores from a first or third-person viewpoint. Battling through exotic indoor and outdoor environments, you’re free to use both brute force and stealth in your mission objectives against the evil Brotherhood of Nod.

Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun: Fight on dynamic battlefields. Nature itself provides tactical opportunities--destroyable and deformable terrain, forest fires, treacherous ice fields and many more surprises that help or hinder your strategies. Exciting new strategies and units: Jump Jet Infantry, Hover tanks, Tunneling APCs, Hunter Seekers, Laser Fences, Mechanized Battle Units, Firestorm Defense, and many more. New internet technology and multiplayer support: Play for free on the definitive Internet battleground. You decide who will win. With his forces stronger than ever, arch villain and leader of The Brotherhood of Nod, Kane, is pitched in an epic battle against the world's war machine: the Global Defense Initiative. Now you must orchestrate the fate of mankind.

Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun Firestorm: Includes new GDI and Nod Units and a new story featuring all-new GDI and Nod Missions. Also includes new multiplayer maps designed by the core Command & Conquer development team. Enhanced map randomizer allows for more user interactivity and expanded features.

Command and Conquer: Yuri's Revenge: Take command of Yuri's Army and wield devastating weapons built on forbidden technologies. Enslave minds, create genetically mutated Brutes, spread biological viruses, and inflict a variety of exotic punishments on your enemies. Both the Allied and Soviet armies get new, powerful weapons including the Allies' Robot Control Center and the Guardian GI. The new Soviet weaponry includes the Siege Chopper and Boris, a machine-gun toting commando who can call down MiG bombing strikes. With 10 new cooperative missions and enhanced match-making, gamers have more interesting options than just fighting head-to-head. New in-game movies tell the story of Yuri and his insidious plot, bringing back popular characters from Red Alert 2, including Tanya, Eva, Romanov and President Dugan. Real-world locations are used, and abused, throughout Yuri's Revenge. Fight in front of the Hollywood sign. Keep London's Big Ben being bombed. Storm Yuri's base on Alcatraz Island.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection of C&C Titles, October 29, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Command and Conquer Collection (CD-ROM)

This is a great and well-rounded collection of games from the Command & Conquer universe.

Tiberian Sun & Firestorm Expansion - Though the graphics are a little dated, the gameplay of Tiberian Sun more than make up for it. Futuristic technology abounds. 4 out of 5.

Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge Expansion - Possibly the most popular C&C game, Red Alert 2 allows you to fight in the modern world (with some futuristic technologies such as hovercraft. The war is between the U.S. and its allies and the Soviet Union, who are invading the States and have powerful mind-control technology at their disposal. 5 out of 5.

Renegade - This is the only game in this collection that falls short of great. Sure, it's cool for a while to run around in the world of Tiberian Sun, but a great first-person shooter this is not. It's repetetive and alternately laughably easy and frustratingly hard. If you're looking for a couple days' worth of entertainment, this might suit you. If you're looking for a great sci-fi FPS, well, keep looking. Westwood should've stuck with strategy games. 3 out of 5.

All in all this is a great package that is well worth your twenty bucks. If you like RTS games at all, stop reading this review and buy The Command & Conquer Collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Tech Support, but a ton of fun, February 3, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Command and Conquer Collection (CD-ROM)

These games are a blast and can be very addicting (until you try Generals Zero:Hour).

The big issue with these games is that EA does not actively support the games. It's impossible to get a response from them (from our experience). Also-if you install several similar games together on one machine you may have trouble running the games. We have.

As far as the action goes, these games bring RTS to a new level from their predecessors...like Red Alert. They are XP compatible...don't know what that one reviewer was talking about. The problem is they are getting old and have been out for about 6 years now.

But for $20, you cannot miss with this pack. We bought two of them for different machines. If you like these games, you will love Generals/Zero Hour. Try that too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tricky Setup for Win XP, Great Entertainment, March 24, 2006

This review is from: The Command and Conquer Collection (CD-ROM)

It's hard to beat getting 5 game disks for under $20. It makes a person think there must be a catch, and in this case, there is:
You need to do some extra steps to get it to run in Windows XP. I assume its fine on Win 95 or Win 98, but I'm no longer using those systems.

Comma To make it run on Windows XP, you have to tell Win XP to run it in Windows 98 Compatibility mode. This includes the installation programs on the disks;

This is what we did:
Click Start - Run - Browse to bring up the menu of the installation disk.
For each program icon on the disk;
Right Click the icon, select Properties - Compatibility;
click the compatibility box, and choose Windows 98.
Apply and close. Then go on to the next program and do the same thing, until you have done every executable program on the disk.
After that, it installs and runs just great!


It only took an hour or so to load each game in the set, but we've played them for many hours more. Because the game allows you to set the number of enemies and their difficulty, the game can grow in complexity each time you play-- Or you can leave it on the easy settings, if you like smashing the enemy every time.

The soldiers scream briefly when they die. Other than that, it is probably the least bloody computer war game I've seen.
