I used to play Red Alert two decades ago, so getting in this was quick and painless. This is a good port, though I missed some improvements from RA like queueing. I also hit some bugs with pathfinding, harvesters, and in particular the "go to group" long C presses. High res mode looks so much better, even though it was a bit slower/more laggy, I played in high res.

Before this, I gave up on Banjo Kazooie, sometime after beating the haunted house level. It was good for a platformer, but platformers really aren't my thing.

The LOD was badly done, zero or one levels for models and 0-2 for textures, transitions clearly visible, especially when flying. Graphically, it reminded me more than a little of Crash, though I'm not sure which was first actually. In any case, the use of vertex coloring, animals and similar animations made it look like a Crash derivative. On lag, 99% of the game had none, but some places did slow down a bit.

It also fell to the common 3d platformer cliches in a couple places: bad camera angles and overly hard jumps/thin ledges. I could never make that one thin ledge in the level where you transform into a croc, and the one over the lava, leading to a cheat book, took many tries. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=169862 2017-12-10T23:07:55 -05.00 RetroMichel 341

- I can see why it has such a reputation, it was really well done
- got used to the graphics fast
- good music
- at times it was too difficult even on easy
- infinitely spawning enemies, come on. When things get hard, I prefer to hide and snipe to cull the herd, not possible here
- Natalya kept running to the line of fire in the rescue mission, really annoying
- some lag in places ]]>
