New units, voices and story is better than main game. Yuri is too OP but I love it. I think I've played this game more than 5000 hours since it's released.
While I didn't like it quite as much as Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge is still a great game and wonderful expansion to a superlative RTS.
I like the new Yuri faction, but the mind control mechanics are both too strong and too weak. Too strong in that you can lose control of a unit in an instant to a Mastermind, Yuri Clone, or tower; too weak in that once you have the hard counters to these things (robotic units, air units, and dogs) then he's got dick all to stop you. Yuri feels underbaked and overgeneralized in this regard, whereas the Soviets and Allies gets lots of interesting and varied units to fill specific gaps in their arsenals.
They try to use the campaign missions to introduce you to the new "national" units - like the Black Eagle - but there's not really much opportunity to use them. Most of the missions are straightforward slugfests where you get a base, he gets a base, and now it's time for mass destruction. Vanilla RA2 struck a better texture with its missions in this regard. Still, this series has come a long way since Tiberian Dawn's soul-crushingly difficult micro-fests, and I still enjoyed the whole campaign, so whatever.

Made by actual insane people. What is this.
Be one with Yuri...
A facção do Yuri é completamente quebrada e overpower. É legal jogar com ela em Skirmish, mas isso torna um jogo um pé no saco quando é você contra ela. Ainda assim, ver o Yuri voltando no tempo pra ser pisoteado por um dinossauro é cinema 2.
Convinced my mom to buy this for me on release, having already been groomed by a friend's borrowed Soviet disk.
I'll be playing this in the retirement home, as an old man, instead of chess. FinalAlert2 and altering rulesmd.ini introduced me to the concept of modding, in my early teens.
Magnetrons and Boomers should've required a Battle Lab. Genetic Mutator shouldn't work on your own units. Obey me.

RTS perfected. Almost.
It has some noticeable balance issues, it can only run on modern hardware with a source port that's missing features, and Tiberium Wars is arguably a better C&C game, but I still come back to this one more than any others.

Bu da küçükken zevk alarak oynadığım bir oyun. RTS olarak yılına göre gerçekten çok başarılı bir yapım. Oynayın ve oynatın efenim.
In comparison with the regular game they went full over the top, but in a good way. Both sides of the campaign were great. The only thing not great was how worthless yuri's army was in regular games.
One of the best RTS expansions ever! It adds a completely new faction to the Red Alert 2. Good campaign , good gameplay <3
c&c ran so clash of clans can crawl
The game that got me my username and made me change my legal name to Yuri. It is a marvel how they spent hours just on the makeup for Udo Kier everytime to film those scenes with Yuri. There will never be a game like this.
Yuri, as a playable team, is a bit cheesy and overpowered but it's still a great game. More of RA2.
Golden Era of sprite/2D graphics - right before early 3D came in and flooded the market with ugly and bulky-looking 3d models with zero characters and style.
it sounds good.
it plays good.
it looks GOOD.

I love getting rekt everytime I play a skirmish match when i'm about to create forces 10/10
Played it with a buddy a few times. It was pretty fun, but I couldn't get super invested in it afterwards.
Properly good expansion for Red Alert 2. Recommended as solid DLC to the original game.
This is the closest strategy gaming has come to perfection.
"Is it finished, Yuri?"
"No, Comrade Premier. It has only begun."

Legitimately one of the best expansions ever made. Only gripe is that there is no Yuri campaign
