While the war waged between the Allies and Soviets Yuri was quietly scheming, planning, testing, and devising. History went on without him - Russian Premier Romanov signed a historic peace treaty with the Allies and the free world remained free. Now it's Yuri's turn to make history, and wreak vengeance on his foes.
Overall, I think the most fun of the older C&C games. Instead of focusing on being a hyper-realistic war simulation strategy game, YR focuses on being a fast-paced and relatively light-hearted, almost cartoon-y style strategy game.
Innovated many great gameplay features that RTS fans have come to see as standards.
Fun in more ways than one.
