They are all decent games, but lack that certain something that Red Alert 2 had. They are too focused on making it "well rounded" for consoles too. Umm, excuse me, but RTS will NEVER work on a console - NO EXCEPTIONS! Red Alert was so close to perfection, but lost it. The cop out for the ore refinery; come on ea, resources make half the battle! You can tell, they tried to simplify it for use with consoles. I still loved it, but not like Red Alert 2.
Red Alert 2 is my favorite game of all time. It brings the outlandish alternate-reality Cold War story line, the outlandish characters, the solid gameplay (rivaling that of StarCraft!), and pure fun. This is where I transition into my most recent thought; Games used to be about fun, not about graphics, story, or action. Bring the Fun, then worry about all that other stuff!
Just look at Duke Nukem!
P.S: I'm really just ranting, cause I've had quite a bit of caffeine and have no other outlet for my hyperness.
