They play like their age, creaking and groaning in the face of streamlined modern design. These aren't really criticisms these games are 24 and 25 years old, after all. You will generally do more highlighting of a big army and just pointing it into the enemy base, but at the same time the campaign missions are often ruthless, providing brutally limited resources in order to force the player to micromanage individual units extremely closely. There's less finesse here than in later entries and most modern real-time strategy games.
It's a slick package, two all-timer games bound together in an irresistible package for old-school fans.Īs for the games? Well, as mentioned, they are stone-cold, absolutely accurate recreations of the originals, for better and worse. Completing certain goals across all the game's modes will unlock bonus footage like outtakes from the famed live-action story scenes and previously-unreleased music.Īll of this is excellently put together.

All of this is piled atop more standard changes like an improved, high-resolution user interface, modern control options and mod support.

There's mod support, high-quality re-recorded voice over for certain elements of the game, plus the exclusive cinematic scenes and missions from the console versions of both games.įor multiplayer devotees there's a full map editor, custom lobbies and a full ranking and matchmaking system. That means this collection features a toggle between the old and new visuals, and an option to experience crisp, remastered versions of both games' classic music alongside some new stuff. There is no other version of these classic titles you'll ever need to play. This really swings for the status as a definitive package and is wholly successful. This is similar to what Microsoft has achieved with its Age of Empires HD releases, but the C&C Remastered Collection sets itself apart with everything else that's included. Both Command & Conquer and Red Alert thus play more or less exactly as you remember them with a few minor quality-of-life improvements, but crucially they run well on modern hardware and look sharp at current resolution standards. The concept is simple, applying recreated high resolution artwork atop the original mechanics of the original games. The result is Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, one of the finest re-release packages I've ever seen. This is all important context: this is a remaster from a 'new' studio to C&C, but one led by staff who worked on these classic games.

Petroglyph Games is made up of former Westwood Studios staff, and after making a series of original and licensed games, they decided to take a shot at partnering with EA to remaster the classic C&C games. The series honestly looked dead - and then came Petroglyph Games. There's been a couple of dubious quality free-to-play games, false starts and cancelled projects. Ten years have passed since the release of that disaster, and C&C has been shunted from pillar to post in that time. In real terms the series only produced one dud, the steaming turd that was C&C 4: Tiberium Twilight, a closing chapter so dire it essentially single-handedly sealed the series' fate despite following a couple of quality, well-selling efforts. All too often it gets lumped in with those studios and franchises that floundered once in the possession of Electronic Arts - C&C did just fine in the wake of Westwood's closure in 2003. I bloody love Command & Conquer - and honestly, I think the strategy series birthed by Westwood Studios has had a hard time. 1995's Command & Conquer and 1996's Red Alert hold up as well as you'd expect in this lovingly-constructed, absolutely definitive HD Remaster package.
