The graphics in this are pretty good, too bad the gameplay is stuck in 1995.

The demo of the original game was SO fun. It had that great campy feel that the original C&C games had. I never got around to picking this up, but now that an expansion pack is out, I'm going to wait a little longer and hopefully get it in a 2-pack or something. Sort of like how I got Generals.

Anyway. This demo seems to be jam-packed full of stuff (7 total levels? jesus!)... I'll be playing this over the weekend, hell yes.

There is only one demo level, and it's just like the old starter level of Red Alert, where you start with a couple guys and wander around the map capturing peeps. Interesting game that feels exactly like Red Alert/Generals/whatever.
