C&C Red Alert 2 Preview

The guys over Gamespot UK have a bit of a preview Westwood Studio's Command & Conquer Red Alert 2. They even have a screenshot! Can't help but think "hmm, why does Red Alert 2 look like SimCity 3000?" Anyway, here's the obligatory quote:

"Once again the game retains its predominantly two-dimensional, top-down viewpoint. The engine is a combination of the original Red Alert engine, and Tiberian Sun's improved look, which means that the map tiles are considerably more detailed, trees can hide troops, and the terrain is contoured, and even mountainous at times. Tanks struggle up slopes, while artillery has greater range when fired from high ground."

Course there weren't tanks in SimCity.

TS wasn't THAT bad... And several people that have gotten a hold of RA2 have said it's Westwood's best RTS game to date. I'm getting a copy for free, so I don't care either way, but I've got high hopes for it.

Starcraft had an outdated engine yet still was alot of fun. Maybe just maybe RA 2 can pull it off. If gameplay is even half as slow as Tiberian Sun though, I'm droppin that mofo faster than I picked it up.

I played Red Alert till I turned blue -- but it took up WAY too much GOD DAMN TIME! I bought Tiberium Sun -- not gonna make the same mistake 2x... even though this looks pretty fun.

But its not a 14 year old engine. Tiberium sun engine in this and that is only a year old and 3 years old since inception.
