I bought this for my husband and he loved it!Fast shipping too =) The game itself is awesome. But the format was kinda different, the game graphics seem smaller and was just situated right in the middle of the screen/ compressed. But You'll never notice it once you get to enjoy the game!

This game ROCKS! I have played alot.The thing i like most about this game is that thier are 2 disks.One for the soviets and one for the allies.Thats at least 10-13 hours gameplay,considering it is your first time.So basicly I recomend this game and is a good game for 10 bucks.

I ordered this game hoping it would run on my Asus Eee pc1005HAB and I was not disappointed.While the graphics are a bit dated(okay VERY dated)if you are looking for some RTS on a netbook give this a try.No slowing, freezing or stuttering when I have played this.A great game to kill some time with until your copy of Starcraft 2 arrives.Uh,no SC2 on the netbook although SC1 plays beautifully too.If you own a netbook and like this genre C&C2 is for you!!!

I bought this game when it originally came out in 2000, and I still think it is one of the most entertaining computer games out there. In addition to the standard scenarios, I really enjoy the limitless combinations of skirmishes that can be played against the computer or friends.

However, I am running it on Windows 7, and there is some compatibility issue that results in the game slowing down during scenes with explosions (particularly when the computer destroys my base!). Irealize the package only claims Windows Vista COmpatibility, but I was hoping it would work for Windows 7 as well...which is why I only docked it one star (I figure many of the shoppers will probably be running Windows 7 now, which is why I am pointing this issue out). To deal with this problem, there are a number of websites that address this issue, and it can be resolved by loading a patch and changing some graphic settings (the most consistent explanation I've seen is that the newer 3D graphics processing is overkill for the 2D RA2 graphics, but I don't really understand why this slows the game down). If you have this problem, search Google and you can find a workaround.

The bottomline is that this is a terrific game and after you get it working on Windows 7, it is every bit as fun as it was in 2000.

This is a classic RTS game, and 9 years later, it's still loads of fun to play.

THis game is just plain awesome with 2 disks and awesome missions, its better than AGE OF EMPIRES.
