Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 remains the most fun RTS ever created, thanks to Westwood Studios' 2000 masterpiece of camp and speed. Its fast-paced gameplay, psychic soldiers, and Tesla coils deliver a pure adrenaline rush unmatched by later entries. The Soviet vs. Allied factions are perfectly balanced, with 10% tighter unit responsiveness than the typical rival, making it cheaper than the average RTS to master but richer in personality.
