Oh no, it’s that Phrase again:
Yup, it’s back, seeing as I
didn’t like Red Alert very much (due to it being a commercial rip off) I pretty much
avoided it, only returning to it after Aftershock came out, and even then I only played it
at networks. Anyway due to this I managed to erase that certain phrase from memory, but
now it’s back, and it’s worse then ever. “Silos Needed” is 
now said by 3 different
people in game, constantly, I was suddenly reminded how easy it was to get a hell of alot
of money in the original also. Otherwise the sounds in this game are Westwoods best
attempt yet, your little advisor differs depending on which side you choose and they
inform you of everything, which I thought was very good, they even count down to the
arrival of the Transport at the starport. The music is superb, now if there is one person
at Westwood who deserves a raise it’s the musician there. I mean C&C had good
tracks, so did Red Alert and now this. The best bit is if you played the original
you’ll recognise alot of the songs in their new improved version and probably start
humming along with them. However there is a really annoying problem with the sounds, where
the hell are the explosions. I have tried playing with music off just to see if it was a
channel thing but they simply don’t seem to be there. All I get is a quick screen
shake when something goes boom, no sound, Bummer.
