There are seven missions per side, and in some, you have access to the special units that the different countries get in multi-player. It can shoot at both ground and airborne targets, and the longer it fires, the more rounds per minute, and the more powerful it gets. He has both a tank and a building which use a gattling cannon as their weapon, and this is a gun that I welcomed with open arms to an RTS title. As with the other two sides, use what he has right, and he can be excellent to play as. ![]() He lacks buildings that both his opponents have. He doesn't have a particularly powerful tank, like both Allied and Soviets do in both this and the main game. The interesting thing about Yuri's side is that while what he does have is extremely useful and difficult to fight, there really isn't a lot of it. Not only do the Yuri clones and Yuri Prime return, the latter gets upgraded noticeably and they are joined by a building, a vehicle, heck, even a *superweapon* that can mind-control. Did you like the mind-control of Red Alert 2? The developers of this add-on sure hope so. His arsenal includes some thoroughly unpleasant and highly unethical weapons, including biological war-fare. His side can also be played in multi-player. Yuri's Revenge, as the title reveals, has Yuri return. The cut-scenes are about the same quality they were in the game. Dialog and acting are as campy as in the regular game. Their look is slightly altered, meaning, they all took a quick trip to the hair-dresser(with somewhat varying results), for no readily apparent reason(it even creates a glaring continuity error that could easily have been avoided). This expansion has just about everybody from the game return. or, in laymen's terms, it screams, "We're written into a corner, and we have no good way of getting out". ![]() ![]() The plot isn't bad, it just isn't very original, and the basis for it is something of a deus ex machina. The campiness of Red Alert 2 continues full force, and is joined by an equal amount of cheesiness.
