As soon as they starting hiring actors like James Earl Jones to phone in performances that couldn’t be more disinterested if they tried the cutscenes became far less interesting to me.

Red Alert became synonymous with pantomime, whereas the first game was actually pretty grim, with the first Soviet mission being ethnic cleansing, while in the Allied campaign you witnessed a man have a nervous breakdown. Sure, it plays a lot like C&C, but this is no bad thing.

And yes, Hell March.
