command and conquer ultimate collection review

I always liked these songs - Act on Instinct was a mainstay of my gym playlist - but to hear them in high-fidelity stereo and performed with instruments is something else. You can choose original or remastered sound effects, and original, digitally remastered, or fully re-recorded music by returning composer Frank Klepacki (above). That’s four campaigns of roughly ten hours each, the secret Funpark and giant ant mini-campaigns, plus 34 standalone missions for Red Alert and 25 for C&C that offer tough challenges – I vividly remember Under Siege from C&C’s Covert Operations – or are just silly fun: Monster Tank Madness from Red Alert’s Aftermath has you reprogram remote-controlled Super Tanks equipped with Cruiser guns.

You get both games with all their expansions, plus the console missions that never came to PC. I’ll say it right at the top: if you played and loved the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert, as I did, this is everything you want it to be. I’ve calmed down now, but here are a couple of choice examples, cleaned for publication: “Oh neat, it starts with a fan-made modern version of the original’s stylised installation program” “Oh gosh, the re-recorded music is flipping perfect – Act on Instinct flipping shreds” and “Golly, I forgot how much I love the sound of a charging Obelisk.” Many of my review notes for the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection are written in capital letters.
