Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Sorti le 22 novembre 1996, Command & Conquer: Red Alert est un jeu de stratégie en temps réel développé par Westwood Studios. Le scénario explore une chronologie alternative où Albert Einstein efface Adolf Hitler de l'histoire, permettant à l'Union soviétique de Joseph Staline de lancer une expansion en Europe, ce qui conduit à un conflit entre les Alliés et les Soviétiques. Le jeu met l'accent sur la stratégie et la ruse, avec des espions, des mines et des technologies expérimentales. Il est accompagné des packs d'extension Contre-attaque et Les Conséquences, qui ajoutent des missions et des unités. Red Alert est disponible sur PC, DOS, PlayStation, PlayStation 3 et PlayStation Portable, et a été publié par plusieurs sociétés, dont Electronic Arts et Virgin Interactive. La presse a salué le jeu, le comparant à des titres majeurs comme Civilization II et Quake, tandis que les joueurs le considèrent souvent comme un chef-d'œuvre, même si certains rapportent des problèmes techniques. Le jeu obtient une note Metacritic de 90 et une note agrégée de 87,51. L'histoire principale demande environ 27 heures et demie, et une complétion complète peut prendre 40 heures.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Red Alert belongs in the same category as "Civilization II" and "Quake," games that followed legendary predecessors and immediately eclipsed them. One can only wonder where Westwood can take us from here. »
« With lusciously detailed graphics and some superb sound FX and music rounding the game off, Red Alert looks destined to follow "Dune II" and "Command and Conquer" straight into the Westwood hall of fame. »
« Red Alert will be like by the legions of the faithful, and win new converts as well. [Dec 1996, p.238] »
« Suffice it to say that if you like strategy, military tactics, or liked the original game, you will love Red Alert. »
« While perhaps not upgrading the original Command & Conquer engine as much as some would have liked, its clean graphics, crackerjack music score and immersive sound effects all make for a game that's great fun to play...and that's what it's all about, isn't it? »
« It not only completely satisfies the wants of any eager strategy player, it also covers those who like more action in their games, and then appeals to practically everyone in between. If you don't have Command & Conquer, buy this immediately. »
« A lackluster second offering when so much more could be done with the Command & Conquer universe, but just see how much damage I do to you if you take it away from me. »

« The nostalgic feeling I get form thinking about this RTS trend setter for so many games. Made me start getting into the genre I will never leave. Just epic. »
« Red Alert was my favorite game as a child. I spent hundreds of hours playing the campaign, skirmish missions and multiplayer on 56k internet. Revisiting was a big nostalgia trip for me and also interesting to see how it compares to the original Command & Conquer after all these years. Let’s start with the music. Hell March is one of the best video game songs ever, if not the best. The entire soundtrack is nothing short of a masterpiece, puts you in mood and is a great fit for the fast-paced gameplay of Red Alert. The story is a cheesy alternative history. Einstein invented a time machine and made sure Adolf **** doesn’t come to the world stage. This, however, makes Stalin rise as the absolute power in WWII. There are unforgettable characters from Tanya to Nadia, and more importantly Kane (I had erased from my memory that Kane appears in Red Alert. Without spoiling anything, let me just say it was a pleasant surprise). The cinematics have always been a strength of Command & Conquer series and Red Alert doesn’t disappoint. I especially enjoyed the ones with Tanya. Gameplay is enhanced in some ways. The two factions (Allies and Soviet) are more distinct from each other in comparison to GDI and NOD of C&C. There are many units which are exclusive to a faction. While Soviet appear to be impenetrable with their Tesla Coil and Mammoth Tank, Allies have the naval artillery Cruiser which are the most powerful firepower of the entire game, as long as you have access to water. There are some serious AI issues in the campaign. You will often see your harvesters or submarines getting stuck. This one I remember from the original game. But there are also problems with the enemy AI, where the enemy stops responding to you efficiently as soon as you destroy some harvesters or power plants. I am not sure if this comes from the original game or if it is a problem with the remaster. In most aspects, Red Alert is better than its prequel Command & Conquer. It offers more options for strategy with the wider range of units. But in terms of offering a good campaign challenge in medium difficulty, Red Alert pales in comparison to C&C. The enemy in C&C is smarter. Again, this may be an issue with the remaster but not the original game. I am not sure. 9.5/10 »
