Even Relic's Company of Heroes, the RTS most known for its cinematic flair, doesn't begin as explosively as Red Alert. Whether you execute a daring Allied mission to rescue Einstein from Soviet clutches, or embark on a shocking and bloody purge of an Eastern European village as Stalin's most ruthless general, the opening missions of Red Alert are bold and immediate, grabbing a hunk of your shirt and yanking you into the action. What better way for Westwood, riding high on the success of their military RTS, to celebrate than with a game that lets you kick Stalin right in the moustache?Īnd Red Alert really does begin with a kick. The Soviet Union had collapsed only five years before, and both Cold War tensions and their end would have been fresh in the minds of the development team. Red Alert's conflict is based upon one that had already been resolved, albeit only recently.
